mel gibson should be directing more.


apocalypto is great movie. he may have said some anti-semitic things, but so did oliver stone in an interview. time to forgive.

I agree as well. Hopefully pretty soon he will direct something good again.

I agree on Mel Gibson needs to direct more. Great movies he presents....i would love for him to direct "Blood Meridian".

reply

Time for Mel to shut his fat trap and just make movies.

Just because Oliver Stone made anti-semitic remarks does not give Mel Gibson a green light.



I don't know who you thing you are, but before the night is thru...I wanna do bad things with you!

I bet if Mel said disparaging remarks against us Filipinos, only us Filipinos would care that he said those remarks. Yet anything anti-semitic, the whole world turns against you. Many make disparaging remarks against Blacks as well, yet such racists remarks are not given the same outrage as anything about the Jewry. Sometimes, it's not even anti-semitic & the Jewry gets hell bent against you. Weird.

He is a very good director, he has such potential, it would be a waste to not allow his talent to flourish or be shared with the rest of the world. This movie in particular is amazing, I keep watching it, it's a 10/10 in my book. Very few have taken such an in-depth interest in the prehispanic culture of Central/South Americas.

I've seen him do some great acting, but frankly I'd rather he directed from now on :-)

reply

Agreed! I prefer Mel Gibson as a director than as an actor...

Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

reply

It'd be a day maker to read that he's directing something new! Let's hope.

he has been trying to sort out some old irish war movie for a while - even scouted locations

Totally agreed OP.... Gibson is a damn good and talented director. So he said some silly remarks about Jews when he was drunk... lets let bygones be bygones. Don't let that one incident mar his career as a director.

Gibson likes to make movies of "tortured and heroic souls"... such as Braveheart, Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.. perhaps he could do more of these similar style movies of characters in history, or even branch into other kinds of film?

Saw this yesterday for the first time. Great action thriller, a real gem.

reply

Agreed. I like Mel Gibson a lot especially as a director. I am disappointed to see he has nothing in the works right now.
