He acknowledges and disagrees with the obvious Jewish corruption. I like Mel for his acting and beliefs. He acknowledges and disagrees with the obvious Jewish corruption.

The guy was being unfair, not truthful. Infact you have to believe that people are never unfair or that drunk people are never unfair to consider the type of remark Mr. Gibson made proof that someone's a bigot. And that itself is a misrepresentation of life. And it was a once in a lifetime event that shouldn’t be misrepresented as the opposite, a characteristic trait. If anyone who had ever been unfair would be called untrustworthy, not a lot of people would pass the test. I don’t think anyone could honestly say they wouldn’t feel attacked if ever arrested, even if the reason is just. He didn't know for sure the arresting officer was Jewish, but it was about the only likely assumption available at first sight - he didn't know the man. And alcohol doesn't just make it easier to speak truths, it can lower our threshold in the exact opposite way and make us become unfair, take a cheapshot when we feel attacked and cornered. Just like alcohol isn't intelligent enough to effect the functioning of just one leg, it can't selectively effect the mental standards we apply, it effects our threshold in general, blurs our vision in general and makes us do all sorts of stupid things we normally would not agree with. It might open the lock that normally prevents us from speaking certain truths, it might also do the exact opposite, open the lock that normally prevents us from being unfair. And it is exactly because he does posses a healthy conscience that he felt guilty about it and apologized.

It's so nice reading that other people find Mel not a monster, but a very gifted actor and a good person. Even though he's been trashed so much in the media, he's held his head high - now that's a class act. Go Mel go! Oh, thank you, thank you.

That being said, I find that I usually really enjoy movies that Mel is in. Believe it or not, that also goes for Tom Cruise. Yes, Cruise is a total nutjob, but his movies tend to be very entertaining. I thought the Lethal Weapon films were very entertaining, well-made and iconic. If Mel's in a movie, much like Harrison Ford, chances are my fanny will be in a seat watching it.

Take a big warrior revolutionary like Wallace and have been played by some aussie midget with a bad accent. Then put in by the numbers good versus evil nonsense, and then leave out any historical accuracy whatsoever. Great story I heard about making that movie, although no idea if true, is when they were filming the Battle of Stirling Bridge some locals came by and asked why they weren't filming it where it happened. (notice in the movie it is in a field) The reply: Well, the bridge got in the way. The dry response from the locals: Aye, that's what the English found!
