My Mel Gibson Hate:
His father is a disgusting and delusional piece of shit who hides behind a fake religion and goes around trying to convince people that the Holocaust never happened, that jews with tattoos numbered on their arms from the prison camps did it themselves to fake out the rest of the world, etc. etc. etc.
Some crazy, wild, terrible stuff. Its what he believes, how he lives, how he's raised his family, and what he preaches to his flock.
Mel Gibson was given many different opportunities to simply distance himself from his dad's comments - as opposed to taking sides against his father as a person.
All he had to do was say "I don't agree with my father on this particular issue, but overall he's a good guy" or something.
He refused to do so, and this was right around the time that Passion came out.
Tell me how that looks? The world comes to find out their favorite actor was raised to believe jews are slime and made up the Holocaust, and then at the same time this guy refuses to disavow it, and also at the same time this guy produces a film showing Christ suffer and bleed horribly for hours as a result of the actions of the jews.
Add it all up.
Stick a fork in him. He's finished in Hollywood - or at least knocked down many a peg on the Hollywood ladder. I don't think its a coincidence that the last two films he's done have been in foreign languages.
He's lucky he made a hundred bazillion gazillion pamillion dollars on Passion, b/c he won't get any more $20 million per film paydays in Hollywood, IMO.
