franchise and as star and director of Best-Picture Oscar winning, his intense and bloody depiction of Jesus' crucifixion, which became the most successful R-rated movie of all time. But after several PR nightmares, starting with a 2006 DUI arrest accompanied by a rant about Jews, Gibson became persona non grata in Hollywood.
Since then, he has been in rebuilding mode. He's appeared in a few forgettable films, but his most recent effort as a director, the 2016 war drama, won mostly favorable reviews and respectable box office numbers. Now he's embarking on a big gamble, a sequel toWhat is unclear—and likely key to whether the film succeeds or fails—is how Gibson will navigate the tricky question of what Christ was up to between his death and resurrection.
The theological divide over the harrowing stems in part from the Apostle's Creed based on the teachings of the 12 Apostles though written about six decades after the last of them had died. About 200 years later, text was added to the Creed stating that Jesus"was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again." Darrell L.
Gibson did tone down the violence a bit, according to several faith leaders who saw the earlier version before its wide release. He also tweaked a scene that some told him smacked of anti-Semitism. And at the urging of several faith leaders, including Ted Baehr, chairman of the Christian Film and Television Commission whose Movieguide analyzes films using 150 different metrics and reaches about 30 million people over various platforms, Gibson also added a short scene of the resurrection.
Nope, not this Protestant... love Mel Gibson
I mean, at this point if he just called the Pope an a-hole he could score the whole offensive western religious trifecta, right?
Who CARES...it's a MEL GIBSON movie, not a dang documentary.
Until evangelicals, lead by the ones living in mansion's, plural in many cases, driving roll's and the like with Private planes, pander to the likes of trump, who cares! I equate them to ISEL they are all religious zealots...no need for their input or approvel!
Must be good!
Evangelicals no longer exist. They are now a Trump cult and have no morals.
If Jesus was “raised from the dead” then doesn’t it stand to reason that he spent time in the realm of the dead?
You know what evangelicals need to be alienated and made to feel excluded a little bit because the prosperity gospel theory aggravates me god certainly doesn't show favor by financial success he much prefers the poor and miserable they suffer and that's important for your soul
I assume that in the sequel Jesus will have PTSD and will go around picking off Roman centurions like Rambo.
Everyone should alienate evangelicals.
He doesn't care 🤣
They are the only ones left so why not
I wish I was amoral and charismatic enough to run the religion game.
Ehhh... Protestants. Whatever! I hope Mel Gibson does. His film “The Passion of the Christ” was breath taking and epic.
Odd. Evangelicals are aliens. It’s Christians and Republicans versus Humans.
Wouldn't be the first religious group he's alienated......
That’s good 🤔
I think most evangelicals should be alienated - from a reasonable society. They are about the biggest phonies out there.
Evangelicals alienate themselves.
Good
