Because he has to pay them on his own

He has a movie coming out this fall and a tv miniseries coming next year

He's directing one right now

In case you somehow missed it though, he was kinda kicked out of Hollywood shortly after Apocalypto

Because he alienated almost the entirety of Hollywood after his drunken tirade against Jews and the highly publicized voicemail where he told his wife "I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers"

It's a shame, he's a phenomenal director.

buttblasted jews blackballed him

Because he's too busy fucking in hot tubs and bombing synagogues.

did they really have bone arrows like that back in the olden days?

To be fair, statistically she is most likely to be raped by niggers when it comes to interacial rape and the jews do control hollywood.

They mostly used slings in south america

Phenomenal is a massive overstatement.

Too based for Hollywood

He's also an actor and can't dedicate all his time to making his own movies.
And he's aging.

I thought they used blow guns

He already directed a movie this year and I think he was also producing some chinese movie

He has been offered director roles and whatnot but he has refused them.

Has nothing to do with his scandal decade or so ago.

Two things I want

The Viking film he wanted to make
and Berserk live action adaptation from him

He should cameo in or even direct a future Mad Max film.

You aren't allowed to make truthful statements if they hurt liberal feefees

>Berserk live action adaptation from him

Will never ever happen. It would be glorious tho, I agree.

>Vince Vaughn in cast
topkek

What exactly is the truthful statement in "I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers"?

apocalypto was not a movie it was like someone hit the rec button a few hundred years ago and filmed it.

The Jews banished him to the shadow realm after he called them out.

Just recently he battled his way back to our plane of reality after reuniting the three jade shards of Demorrah. He's now a man skilled beyond our imagination.

Truly, the Jews, those magick-workers of old, must fear him now. His next movie will be a masterpiece.

Pure kino.

My favorite part of Apocalypto is the beginning. I could've watched that for entire runtime

Hacksaw Ridge.

Apocalypto
Passion of the christ
Braveheart

Directing two 9/10s and one 8/10 is greater than 80% of directors working right now brosef

>Why doesn't Mel Gibson direct more movies?

He doesn't want to. He's also a mentally ill weirdo who people don't want to work with. But at the end of the day Gibson could direct a movie a year, easy, but he's a whiny vulgar auteur who only wants to do what he wants to do. Fair enough, he's ''earned'' that right, but it's just not something he's interested in pursuing.

Oh, wait, you just wanted me to say ''The Jews"

2 cents

>having to work for the chinks

lol

I don't know about mentally ill but I remember him saying he doesn't care that much about directing, and that he has been offered directing jobs and he turns them down.

But mentally ill? What.
Vulgar auteur? How is gibson VA? The fuck

lol
you're overrating him and his movies.

I can't imagine why the Jews of Hollywood wouldn't want to work with Mel

Maybe it's you who is just underating him and his movies

Apocalypto is the only movie i did watch more than once. this never happens

He's definitely mentally ill. He's an alcoholic. He's a bully on set and people didn't like working with him. He wasn't exactly beloved by people in Hollywood before any of his scandal BS got out. Some would argue the fact that he had a scandal in the first place shows how much Hollywood wanted him out.

His movies are all trashy pulp. I like them, but they aren't reinventing the wheel or offering much.

>starring Andrew Garfield

Oh man, casting a jew---you know, a member of the tribe that started all wars in the world---as a conscientious objector and medal of honor awardee.

Is Based Mel violating his principles?

So what's the trashy pulp part in Apocalypto or Passion of the Christ?

Braveheart was pulpy, yeah and that's why I don't like it.

I watched this whole movie without subtitles because i thought it was meant to be like that. Still made sense

Some people don't direct films every year, they're not all Woody Allen

Gibson the man: bat shit crazy
Gibson the filmmaker: incredibly talented

In my best guess, it was Passion that really pissed the jews off

Without white christians believing in a positive jewish connection to christianity, israel would no longer have financial and military support from christian countries

which would be WOH-WOH, game over for them

Passion and Apocalypto are both my favorites with regards to how violence and brutality is often portrayed. It's very unflinching and amoralistic.

Same bastard reason I like David Ayer's Sabotage. It even revels in it

That's why I think Gibson could make a Berserk live action film.

He is also a good actor on top of being good director. Too bad he doesn't really care about directing that much. He has aesthetic I like.

and aesthetic that is rare. I've only seen Ayer go for something similar in Sabotage (again, it took too much pleasure in its violence) and Fury (a bit too on the preachy side, but more like Gibson).

It's very hard to find this sort of violence in film, except some horribly produced, directed trash from the 80s...

>Apocalypto
>trashy pulp
Wew. Could you back that up? I could -sort of- see how you could think of Passion that way, but I'd also disagree.

Typical edgelord Gibson truther

...

JUST

Hmm, I find nothing edgelord about it. He doesn't take pleasure in it like Ayer - now his film like Sabotage might very well be edgy portrayal of violence. Gibson is more like, wev boy this will sound pretentious, McCarthy-like (the novelist). It reminds me of Blood Meridian and, oh boy this will rile faggots up, Berserk's violence.

It's rare, but I do find it fascinating.
I also admit it is not for everyone.

>implying he doesn't look badass

>Braveheart

Jews

He really hoped for that.

He's an anti-semite, so it's no wonder no one wants to work with him.

Bingo. They should make every director act as executive producers it acts as one hell of a quality control system.

People always forget that just before he told his ex-wife that he hopes she gets raped by niggers, she left him after 30 years and took his kids and $425,000,000 of his hard won cash. That's more money than anyone in this thread will ever see in their life.

when will the memes end? it's like you retards are living in a fantasy world.
have you never been very angry? have you never been around angry people? anger changes you. you say things to hurt people, that's the entire point. if you didn't think the things you're saying were bad, you wouldn't use them to try and hurt someone. calling someone a nigger when really angry, or telling his absolute bitch of a wife to get raped by niggers, or whatever has absolutely nothing to do with his actual beliefs. I don't know why this is something that should actually be explained. I feel like everyone's -actually- autistic

It's not a meme if he admits he's an anti-semite.

Have you Sup Forumsfags ever contributed to actual artistic discussion

your bitching is getting fucking old

[citation needed]

>doesn't take pleasure in violence
>every movie he's directed has extended torture scenes mixed with religious bombasity

Come on.

[citation needed]

I've never browsed Sup Forums in my life. Yes, I frequently contribute to actual discussion on Sup Forums, when it pops up every few years. Next question?

>[citation needed]

Because when you're a clown, nobody takes you seriously.

I wouldn't say pulp because that seems pretty subjective, but Apocalypto is just a simple chase movie with all the action shot on shitty DV. There's no thematic or character depth to it at all. Only the great production design elevates it

If all you want is just memeing at each other, we can do that too.

He has a long history of casually saying anti-Semitic things, often when drunk. That doesn't come out of nowhere, even when angry

Pretty much this.

...

I don't think he's racist, I think he was just mad at his wife.

I don't think he likes jews though.

This is just mels condolence piece so the jews will fund his viking and napolean movies

Beauty in simplicity.

>Passion of the christ
>8-9/10

It is a simple film, but that doesn't mean it is bad. Simplicity can be an asset like anything, and it is executed wonderfully in Apocalypto. One of the best chase films I've seen.

Thematic, character depth, these are not *exactly* the things it strives for. It establishes its setting, the characters, the narrative in barebones efficient manner and gets the ball rolling.

Why can't you appreciate and find beauty in simplicity?

When I think of directors that take pleasure in violence, I get stuff like David Ayer in my mind, the Cobra film from 80s - easier answer - exploitation films but those don't count since that's such an easy answer. Late Gibson was a hard solemn gaze look at it (Apocalypto or Passion).

nah your taste is shit turns out

I don't like Passion because it pretty much turns into a torture porn flick, and it's not even historically accurate so they can't use that as an excuse

JUST

It walks the walk, I appreciate it because of it. Again, fully understanding this sort of shit isn't probably for everyone.

God forbid if they ever make a proper adaptation of Blood Meridian.

is he going to kill himself now?

The sheer level of detail in Apoopalypto was astounding, props to the prop guys.

Again, I'd say that's a lot of overstatement.

To me, a good genre movie needs to add something new on top of the existing formula. For Chase movies, I love the tragedy and social commentary of First Blood, or the imagination and world building of Terminator or Fury Road. Yes, Apocalyto looks great from a design perspective but other than that there is really nothing interesting. I don't care about the characters beyond a general desire to not see people get hurt. It's a long setup for an ok chase scene and nothing more

>it pretty much turns into a torture porn flick
It really doesn't. The film never takes pleasure in the brutality, but neither does it shy away from it.
The entire point of the exaggerated, prolonged, brutal violence is to get the weight of it through the desensitized skulls of modern viewers. We're like the Romans in an Arena. We see, hear and think violence every day. It's everywhere in entertainment and mass media. We look unflinchingly at death, pain, torture.
It's incredible what Passion does, it actually manages to penetrate the minds dulled by ceaseless entertainment. Well, some, anyway. That is why you're revolted by it, and call it "torture porn". That alone shows it has succeeded in its goal. It's not pornographic. It's just torture in all its terrifying glory. It has to be over-exaggerated and dragged out for you to understand the pain you're witnessing. You should give the film another try some day, with a more open mind.

He doesn't just direct them, he needs a budget, a studio and a lot of people involved.
He's persona non grata now in case you didn't notice.Why? Because of some BS.

So, your idea of getting a point into audience's head is to shock them?

Does that make I Spit On Your Grave, Cannibal Holocaust, The Wizard of Gore, and the hundreds of other exploitation flicks high art in your eyes?

it's just realist and you can't handle the truth

Honestly, it seems to me like he's now making a comeback. Look at his imdb page. His film Hacksaw Ridge is in post-production, he's got a couple other projects lined up, and he's also been taking up acting roles in recent years.

I think The Last Temptation of Christ is much more effective because of how it emphasizes the emotional sacrifice Jesus makes, and the punts and fears a real man would have in his place. The Bible and Passion only seem to focus on the physical pain and not how much he was losing otherwise. There's a lot more to it than just nails and thorns and whips to make you cringe and love Jesus out of pity

You've missed the point entirely.

>punts
Doubts

we will never get that viking historical epic because of the chosen people

lifes not fair

It's not that long and the scenes at the start are good all around, I find no fault. It's also very nicely shot with shit equipment, with clear cut cinematography that never loses the viewer in the action, that's edited together very well with a very good pacing. There's enough world building for me to get sucked in, jungle, scenery, smaller villages and the big city.

It's a very simple, efficient film.

>I don't care about the characters beyond a general desire to not see people get hurt
Speaking about characters one couldn't give a shit, I could list Furiosa, Hardly Max, Sarah & Reese. Overstating their writing and narrative a lot.

Now Rambo, that's another caliber. Goddamn it was great.

I've always felt bad for Mel as someone also from an antisemitic family. Even if he doesn't actually hate Jews he, and I, always have to be cautious because the taboo is so strong. I don't think anyone who's even slightly knowledgeable on history can claim Jews are totally on the level and in an incautious moment you can say something so shocking to people drilled not to say anything that it can cause real social harm. When you're from a family where everyone talks about how terrible the Jews are you don't have that kind of filter, even if you don't truly hate them.

that rant was hilarious, would've promoted him after that

Cannibal. Holocausta and other exploitation isn't exactly what I'd call 'hard solemn gaze'. CH feels very exploitative and edgy. Gibson, not so much. Unflinching yes - but without the edgelord feel to it

>The Bible
>only seem to focus on the physical pain and not how much he was losing otherwise
Yeah, no.
>There's a lot more to it than just nails and thorns and whips to make you cringe and love Jesus out of pity
Certainly, but I think the route Passion takes works quite well. The fact is that the physical pain alone is simply unimaginable to anyone who's not experienced it.

thank you for telling me what i missed.

What i got out of it was you where praising the film for shaking up audiences enough to get them to understand some deeper meaning (that may or may not actually be there), and i counter-argued that shameless overuse of shocking material is not an effective nor ethical way to get into people's heads.

>Speaking about characters one couldn't give a shit, I could list Furiosa, Hardly Max, Sarah & Reese. Overstating their writing and narrative a lot.

That's your opinion and that's fine, but at least they have more going on for them than being Audience Cypher Good Guy, Fat Guy, Old Guy, Wife, Bad Guy, etc

Hollywood is liberal
Mel Gibson is not
