I think it's a bit sad how many people are like "it's about a dictionary?" - a) it's more than that, because it has a lot to do with crime and the history of mental health institutions (though I have to admit the trailer doesn't do those parts much justice) and b) our written language should not be taken for granted. A standard version of written languages has only been around for 100 to 200 years. And these people did a mad job of compiling tens of thousands of entries way before the internet or even telephones were a common thing. This real story is a tribute to the love of knowledge and wisdom, and I think we could use some more of this nowadays.
The film is a real masterpiece . Watching this film is as much an aesthetic pleasure as the immortal works of Shakespeare. A professor and a madman. Scottish and American. Together they create a colossal work-the Oxford English Dictionary. Sean Penn brilliantly played the role of the repentant, mentally ill Dr. Chester Minor. And when you see this will, this working enthusiasm, which is embodied on the screen by Mel Gibson as James Murray, then you yourself begin to get infected with this passion, this love for the great English language. English is the Latin of the modern world. The language of logic, beautiful and noble. The language of progress, the language of the future. Love English, read more classics, improve, speak beautifully. Language is everything.
Probably the best movie i've watched for the past 10 years.Brilliant play by Sean Penn. Very refreshing to see Intelectual movie that stimulates reading and thinking abilities. Reminds me a bit of 'Beautiful Mind'.
Really good movie. Literate, moving and with superb performances by Mel Gibson, Sean Penn and Natalie Dormer. Was initially hesitant to see it because of negative reviews by the professional critics, but the overwhelming positive reviews by ordinary moviegoers inspired me to give it a try. Hollywood is never going to forgive Gibson for his drunken outburst, but a work of art should be judged by its own merits. 4/5.
This looks like an amazing film. Every so often we begin to think that good movies are a thing of the past, and then someone like Mel Gibson comes along to remind us that they don't have to be.
This is a masterpiece. A story about love, forgiveness and human redemption. If you don’t appreciate this you are a fool. This is about how love can trascend pain, hate, intellect, madness, reason (excuse my english). Making dictionaries is badass. The impossible task of documenting human existence through words. The ones you use every day to comunícate, don’t take that shit for granted. If you think that is boring you are wrong. The work those people put into that is hard. The incredible performances in this film are amazing, and the story is compelling, we need more of this in theaters. Real life stories about hope for humanity. Other wise we are wasting our time. Not everything has to have visual effects to be attractive, just two good beards and good story telling. From begining to end this is great. It’s not about entertaining, it’s about real art, and that takes thinking and empathy to understand some one alses point of view. Amazing film.
This movie has exceeded all my expectations. The storyline and the directing are very captivating in every aspect. Very inspiring too. The trailer is not doing it justice. Also, Sean Penn's performance is incredible to say the least.
Mel Gibson is one of the only people in hollywood that has any semblance of balls. He makes great movies, but I would be lying if I said that was the only reason I support his work. Give em hell Mel.
If you are a teenager looking for an action movie don't go to this one and then criticize it. This is a MASTER PIECE for those who appreciate history. Great movie to watch and loved the act.
Mel Gibson reminds me of my dad. I loved my dad and always will. My dad was catholic. He worked outdoors. His son died at age 14 from Hodgkin a form of cancer. My dads heart was shredded that day 2-20-62. My dad nickname was Cadillac Jack...after he retired he drove cars for dealerships. He loved to travel. So when I see Mel Gibson face Im flooded with heartwarming memories of my dad. I will watch every Mel Gibson movie. ❤
I read the book years ago. Only realised this movie had been made a week ago. What a fabulous movie! I watch aot of movies and I would say this has been the most beautifully filmed but heart breaking movie I have seen this past year. I wish I had the Oxford dictionary beside me so I could explain in words how Wonderful this movie is. I dont understand why it didn't get the recognition it deserves
I went to the Theater to watch this. I don't know why I felt compelled to watch it, but I don';t regret it. It is a wonderful movie. One I will gladly add to my collection.
I can't wait to see it! I'm 56 and I remember seeing Sean Penn as Spicoli in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". Never in a million years would I have thought he would be such a great and prolific actor. Boy he showed me! Mel Gibson is also magnificent. Two of the best. Gotta see this one!
@Fin Zen Before Mel Gibson make The Passion Christi he was Mel Gibson in Hollywood. After them he was an Racist. You have to know Hollywood is the biggest Factory to produce Lies in the World. Hollywood is Piece of Shit thats it. Ask for Example Denzel Washington what he think about Hollywood.
As the movie is also about a dictionary, and the irony was too great with this one's comments... bigot noun a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions. "don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city"
Right with you. I don't think we'll get that look of anguish that he gives to Tavington when he shoots his boy though. I'm not sure he will ever be able to reproduce that one.
Best movie I have seen in a while. Both Gibson and Penn are still the best actors we have ever had. I highly recommend it. This is definitely a refreshment, and finnaly a GOOD movie
Five Stars. An absolutely stunning performance (drama) by Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, Jennifer Ehle, and Natalie Dormer. Cinamaphotography is gorgeous. The producer was Iranian Farhad Safinia. Best film my wife and I have seen in years. The film became entangled in strange legal battles, thus blunting its release. We highly recommend the film.
I really like Simon Winchester’s books, having read four. I just started in on “Professor” and looking forward to seeing the film. A most riveting book it is!
Beautiful movie. A must watch. In it, there are Love to God, love to the family, love to the country, love to the work, love to the friend, love to a woman and forgiveness.
Mel Gibson is a bad ass for not being afraid to speak his mind without a filter. Most of us can't do that for fear of being labeled, losing our jobs, and being blacklisted. But if you have serious money...it's all good.
Mel Gibson: Magnificent Actor, progressive Director, to this day I believe has he not fall from grace for that tiny little second when Apocalipto came, it would have taken everything.
No one could have played Wolverine as well as Mel could have in the 90's or early 2000's. Watch his berzerker rages in Lethal Weapon or Braveheart... give him sideburns and claws and he WAS Wolverine (minus the kilt).
Mel Gibson is an excellent actor. He puts his heart into all, even while fighting all tore him down. And before comp, creating the dictionary was awesome and not easy. WWG1WGA
when the title is a masterpiece as the movie, and mel gibson in it, you dont have to finish the trailer to jump and watch the movie. it's my top 3 of the year
POWERFULL acting from Sean Penn.. he must be taken in consideration for an Oscar with this performance.. one of (if not) the best from him ever. WAUW!!!
On an age where grown ups bicker about superhero movies and fight over what easter eggs they missed, this... THIS sure does put a smile on my face. Welcome Back Mr. Gibson. You look great.
I watched the movie before yesterday alone . as a person , who has interesting in the history of English, it was good for me. Anyway I realized again no world can contain human emotion, even if we try to do best.
Whoa! I bought this book at a used-book store about a couple of years ago. Found it on one of the shelves where people don't bother to go because all of the other books there are like crap. It was even on sale and I got it for less than a dollar! Best sale I ever did! I will be watching this for sure!
I'm usually a Sci-fi /Horror fanatic, but this is beautifully scripted and acted (Gibson and Penn give impeccabile performances) This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
In the movie " Trumbo" Otto Preminger says : "Epic movie can not contain only epic scenes !!" Even that, it was a great trip with these two artists !! 9/10
In loved this movie. Based on Simon Winchester's best seller, The Surgeon of Crowthorne, it speaks of the astonishing commitment and vision of Scot, Dr James Murray, and his relationship with American, Dr William Minor, who spent the better part of his life incarcerated in a19th century lunatic asylum. The performances of Sean Penn and Mel Gibson are wonderful. Sean demonstrates why so many consider him among the greatest living actors. His ability to get inside of these exceedingly challenging roles never s ceased to amaze. And it's a great story. Don't miss it.
I think it's a bit sad how many people are like "it's about a dictionary?" - a) it's more than that, because it has a lot to do with crime and the history of mental health institutions (though I have to admit the trailer doesn't do those parts much justice) and b) our written language should not be taken for granted.

Mel Gibson is always involved with some of the best stories. He is a fantastic writer and director. He does a great acting job every time as well.
This looks like an amazing film. Every so often we begin to think that good movies are a thing of the past, and then someone like Mel Gibson comes along to remind us that they don't have to be.
We love you Mel Gibson, we need more from you .
Ready to bust heads now. Thx!

One of the best movies i have seen in a very long time
Nice thoughts. It is a very good movie. I had to struggle to get British and Scottish accents though.
Beards You say? I say go watch Lighthouse with Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson. Great movie this is. I have spoken.
I'm glad I read your review before the movie 🍿
I have seen this movie and i must say that Sean Pen's has given outstanding performance
This movie has exceeded all my expectations. The storyline and the directing are very captivating in every aspect. Very inspiring too.
The trailer is not doing it justice.
Also, Sean Penn's performance is incredible to say the least.
i welcome anything that Mel Gibson does,especially in this day of comic heroe movies
U damn right ...
Can we have, like a 2 year break from all film and TV series, just to catch up with all we've missed?
Mel Gibson is one of the only people in hollywood that has any semblance of balls. He makes great movies, but I would be lying if I said that was the only reason I support his work.
Give em hell Mel.
hero*
(it is a movie about the dictionary after all)
Since the brave heart im a big fan
Yes!!! Mel Gibson, my favourite actor, just brilliant, keep making AND acting in movies Mel!
Him and Harrison Ford are the best. Never been in a bad movie.
this trailer between all superheroes movie in this year..
just like an oasis..
@NEGUS MBARKA Then a pig like you must really love it.
I agree Ahmad
And once upon a time in Hollywood
very good summary
LMAO
Mel: "I want to make a movie"
Sean: "Yeah me too, but I don't wanna shave"
Mel: "Say no more fam"
Mubeen Moosa 😂 exactly how it went down
Mel, what genre of movie would you make?
lol
the best comment! you made my day
Both are great actors, you'd better get some avengers and comics (we're gonna make you pay over and over and over for the same shit) movies.
If you are a teenager looking for an action movie don't go to this one and then criticize it. This is a MASTER PIECE for those who appreciate history. Great movie to watch and loved the act.
Mel Gibson reminds me of my dad.
I loved my dad and always will.

I remember reading this book years ago! I can’t wait!
The dictionary?
JayUppercase it’s based on a book and a true story. Yes it’s about the dictionary
@@jayuppercase3398 😂😂😂
What is the book that this is based off of?
Same, I got the Professor and the Madman years ago. I've told so many people about this book, but so few seem to have heard of it.
Two legends together, wouldn't miss it for the world.

Yes.
indeed
What I would be zzzzzzzz😂😂😂🤣
Can you imagine if it won best oscar ... the SJW's would go beserk!
@@JDAfrica They already have complained when he made Hacksaw Ridge.
I went to the Theater to watch this. I don't know why I felt compelled to watch it, but I don';t regret it. It is a wonderful movie. One I will gladly add to my collection.
I ain't here for the dictionary drama, I'm here for those awesome BEARDS!
The beard is strong with this one
:DD
What is it with men and beards??? I don't get it.... Haha...

Mel Gibson is outstanding man in be actor or director or producer. Your legend never seen before
Except for Clint Eastwood
@Fin Zen Because he said some racial slurs one night when he was drinking? GTFO
@Fin Zen Before Mel Gibson make The Passion Christi he was Mel Gibson in Hollywood. After them he was an Racist. You have to know Hollywood is the biggest Factory to produce Lies in the World. Hollywood is Piece of Shit thats it. Ask for Example Denzel Washington what he think about Hollywood.
As the movie is also about a dictionary, and the irony was too great with this one's comments...
bigot
noun
a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.
"don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city"
@Fin Zen just one mistake n u judging in him for life for which he is already sorry for. instead look at talent for delivering stories.
yeah tell that rude interviewer he can stick it. Mel Gibson is back.
So damn happy. My favorite actor. As well as Harrison Ford of course. They've never been in a bad movie.
Back drinking you mean.
Janet Kelly he's a bit of a cunt though
well, nobody's Perfect.. he may be a cunt but nevertheless, he is being Productive.. he brought quite a handful of uplifting films, aye?
Wait until Mel's "Resurrection of the Christ" hits theaters (hopefully soon)! That will really shake things up.
I've been waiting for another mel film!! like of you agree!
Been wayyyy too long
Blake Hape Been waiting like forever.
Hollywood is running out of ideas fast but to see Gibson and Penn in these roles might just be amazing..
Just finished watching it. Amazing movie. Amazing acting.
After a long time truly enjoyed an epic movie...Mel, Sean, and Natalie are amazing actors, I was lost in their world.
Superb acting. I see Oscars their way.
02:10...... i remember that look....when he massacre the whole british army with tomahawk to save his 'son'... welcome back sir!
God that was a great scene...
I've always liked his movies. He knows how to deliver.
Right with you. I don't think we'll get that look of anguish that he gives to Tavington when he shoots his boy though. I'm not sure he will ever be able to reproduce that one.
The Patriot is back! Missed seeing him in the movies.
Perfect pair in this story: Sean Penn and Mr remarkable Gibson
I like Mel Gibson, happy to see him back!
I am so glad Sean Penn is back making films! And with Mel Gibson!😎
A real win-win.
Best movie I have seen in a while. Both Gibson and Penn are still the best actors we have ever had.
I highly recommend it. This is definitely a refreshment, and finnaly a GOOD movie
"WATCH THEN AND BE AMAZED."
MEL GIBSON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TALENTS TO GRACE HOLLYWOOD.
OBVIOUSLY
Got to see this movie.
Two of the best actors over the last 40 years.
I saw this movie but knew nothing about it. Amazing performances by Mel Gibson and Sean Penn
Oscar-worthy?
Five Stars. An absolutely stunning performance (drama) by Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, Jennifer Ehle, and Natalie Dormer. Cinamaphotography is gorgeous. The producer was Iranian Farhad Safinia.

This looks amazing. Good to see Mel Gibson and Sean Penn acting. So much talent!
Words are incredible, and dictionaries are very important.
My favorite book is a dictionary, everything written lurks inside
Here's the trailer for #TheProfessorAndTheMadman! Enjoy and leave a like!
The book is excellent 👌 I read it in 2000 and have waited for a movie about it ever since 😀
I really like Simon Winchester’s books, having read four. I just started in on “Professor” and looking forward to seeing the film. A most riveting book it is!
I"m WAAAAAY more excited about this than any superhero movie...
You should be. Go rent it. It's a damn good movie
Beautiful movie. A must watch. In it, there are Love to God, love to the family, love to the country, love to the work, love to the friend, love to a woman and forgiveness.
Sean Penn has always been a good actor. Best roll of he’s lifetime . The Snitch

Mel's eyes have always been so intense. He looks like a wolf. Wolverine's Alpha.
😆😆😆
More like Wolverine's Bitch lol
@@TheBoozer1975 Hugh Jackman has about 1/2 the intensity of Mel Gibson. SO.... no. lol
No one could have played Wolverine as well as Mel could have in the 90's or early 2000's.
Watch his berzerker rages in Lethal Weapon or Braveheart... give him sideburns and claws and he WAS Wolverine (minus the kilt).
Mel would have been a great Wolverine 20 years ago
Good to see Mel Gibson in movies !
This one seems new.
Two legends together... Can't wait
I've just realize that i needed this in my life to bring joy to my entire existence. Thank you Mel & Sean.
sean penn is slime
@@donzxcv1 I don't like him either but his performance is an Oscar worthy display!The film compelling and essential ! Imho
Mel Gibson is an excellent actor. He puts his heart into all, even while fighting all tore him down. And before comp, creating the dictionary was awesome and not easy. WWG1WGA
One piece of art, I never thought it would be so incredible
This movie feels so refreshing, the aesthetic, the storytelling and the title itself, I am watching this.
Mel Gibson is a braveheart ....❤❤
when the title is a masterpiece as the movie, and mel gibson in it, you dont have to finish the trailer to jump and watch the movie.
it's my top 3 of the year
Can’t wait to see it!!...Mel & Sean in a film together, hell yes!
POWERFULL acting from Sean Penn.. he must be taken in consideration for an Oscar with this performance.. one of (if not) the best from him ever. WAUW!!!
Please Mel gibson, do more movies again! I love your acting. I think you're a great guy personally too! Hope you're well!
He's literally the best thing in the shittiest movies like Machete 2.
Drifted, deppressed, hated, rejoiced, cried, amazed, LOVED it. Best of the season so far. Inaridactable drama.
The multi-talented actor and director is back! Mel Gibson!
WOW!! This is different than any other movie Sean Penn has done. I'm a fan of both actors, waiting to see this movie.
Mel Gibson should come back as an old Mad Max and Hardy should be Mad Max Jr.
, with William Wallace's accent
Great story. Best acting in years.
Mel Gibson should produce the movie of Nicolas Tesla
Actually, it's Nikola Tesla...
.... and not play Nikola Tesla himself.
@@sh230968 , I did like The Patriot , so as other movies he came out of, but Nichola Tesla deserves his recognition .
I watched the movie. It was magnificant. Especially Sean Penn had acted just perfect and Mel gibson as well. Congratulations from Turkey.
The Masterpiece has arrived!
Let me say that this movie is a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good to see these two badass back.
highly recommend it...what a great movie....just finished watching it...
The Professor and The MAD MAX !
...And king Stannis
FURY.
On an age where grown ups bicker about superhero movies and fight over what easter eggs they missed, this... THIS sure does put a smile on my face. Welcome Back Mr. Gibson. You look great.
Good to see Mel playing another famous Scotsman after Braveheart. His accent isn't bad either, and that's coming from a real Scottish person.
His Braveheart accent was intentionally off since he was supposed to be a world-traveler.
Damn. I didn't even know this move came out.. what an awesome cast. Will definitely watch it now.
Mel Gibson, please make movie about Mongolian Empire and their conquest!!!! Only you can do justice for this awesome highlight of all human history.
This was a really good movie.
Well looks like Hollywood is making art once again, it’s about time. P. S. Thank you Mr. Gibson.
How dare you use Hollywood, when pertaining to the great Mel Gibson.
I watched the movie before yesterday alone . as a person , who has interesting in the history of English, it was good for me. Anyway I realized again
no world can contain human emotion, even if we try to do best.
I can't wait for Mel to be cast in another Mad Max.
Boring

This is very meta...when Mel Gibson says "Can a bad man be redeemed" is actuslly a statement our society really needs to reflect on
Finally a performance driven plot for Gibson and Penn. Two powerhouses can’t wait
Do I have to read the book to understand the movie?
zaphod yes if you haven’t read the English dictionary you will NOT understand the movie! 😂😂😂😂
Gotta say, one of theeee best movies I've seen in a long time! 5 stars!
Awww snap! Crazy Mel making a comeback! 🤛
He already did
