Mel Gibson is a anti-Semite who suffers from false piety and serious impulse control issues.
Mel Gibson is also a talented actor who has a gift for being a credible, likable Everyman, despite his really rather terrific looks. (Thank goodness they have dissipated with time.)
He's an asshole -- far more so than Tom Cruise -- yet I enjoy his movies. So by seeing them and renting them, am I supporting a jerk? Or am I simply separating the actor from the man?
Roman Polanski and Woody Allen present similar dilemmas. What to do? It leaves me tired.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Interesting thought. I love love love his films. Was he always wacko and hid it well or did this emerge on it's own? I would be more angry about it if he had been hiding all his crazy beliefs to make money off of us. I also don't think hanging around Britney Spears is a good sign.
ReplyDeleteBlogger just ate my comment again. I so hate that!
ReplyDeleteI SAAAiiddd....oh heck, I forgot what I said.
He's hanging around Britney Spears? Maybe he's finally lost it.
Sigh.
