Mel Gibson is an outstanding actor, amirite?

I watched a movie on Amazon the other day that I didn't know existed called the Bounty (quite the cast) and he was very good in it.

I'll have to check that out. He's fantastic in the Mad Max trilogy.

Apparently he never wanted to play Wallace and focus on directing. The studio pushed him because he was so popular at the time.

Incredible performance in Signs. With all of his crazy fundamentalist stuff I'm surprised he was ok with doing a movie that mixes aliens with religion.

I think a majority of people struggle to separate talent from personality and behavior. That's ultimately the crux of cancel culture. Kevin Spacey is human garbage but he's still a phenomenal actor and his presence won't keep me from watching and enjoying his past works. Same goes for Mel Gibson. He has some films that are very deserving of appreciation even if you don't like the guy as a person.

Payback is a great flick. So are Mad Max and Road Warrior (my childhood jams).

He's also one of the best directors Hollywood has ever produced.

Reprehensible behavior? Harvey Weinstein literally confirmed everything he said.

Not unpopular. He was extremely popular and successful. The reason he's not in stuff now has nothing to do with his acting ability.

He's in all sorts of stuff now. Fatman is a Christmas masterpiece

I think this is still an unpopular opinion even if objectively the truth.

I mean he IS a great actor who IS ALSO just an asshole

Uhh I feel like his acting ability isn't the reason people aren't fond of him...

by Anonymous 3 months ago

Oh yeah he absolutely is; and he is a fantastic director too. And a colossal asshole that shouldn't be able to find any type of work that can shape public opinion. There is nothing that correlates his ability with his capacity to work.

Not many people care about his acting abilities anymore. People care that he's an awful person and that's more important when choosing who to support.

Why should people separate his "faulty character" from his acting?

by No-Asparagus 3 months ago

His character is no more faulty or reprehensible than the rest of his peers in the movie biz. He's been blackballed because of his beliefs. He was supposed to be the next huge thing, he made a movie about Jesus Christ, very un-hollywood. Hollywood loves to cancel people who believe in God, look it up.

He was supposed to be the next huge thing, he made a movie about Jesus Christ, very un-hollywood. Yeah, just a movie about Jesus. It definitely wasn't because he was openly homophobic, racist, and anti-semitic. Nope.

I think he is an appalling actor. Seems so wooden in some scenes.
