There is no Mel Gibson movie that isn't GREAT. .From acting to directing, he's got this thing dialed in.
Killian Landji I think that "thing" is called Rage
Killian Landji And he is a political genius, he is showing the Zionists that he can support the troops without supporting war by uplifting the peaceful warrior.
I agree. What's your favourite?
Killian Landji he deserves to do way more movies..he is amazing
You should check out his take on Hamlet..very well done.
One of the best directors we have. Long live Mel Gibson.
Mel Gibson...
What a fucking legend!
Mel, like Bowie, Marc Bolan, Syd Barrett, probably Robert Smith, and likely Steve Harvey, definitely Hideaki Anno, Makoto Shinkai, Salvador Dali, Louise Bourgeois, are or were, for better or for worse, prophets, as far as I know.
Mel Gibson does it visually.
Good to see Mel back. He should win an Oscar for Hacksaw Ridge. One of the greatest ever.
the academy will never forgive him...won't even be nominated and that's a shame...
he should never have been kicked out.. he is a hollywood legend who said a few things while drunk... meanwhile woody allen fucks his adopted daughter and collects an oscar
He was nominated for a ton of awards for Hacksaw Ridge and won a ton as well
Except Mel spoke the truth and Woody is a jew
he will take that statue n melt it into something else n give it to his dog hah he hate hollywood and can you blame him
That's how you rock a hipster beard. They guy is a genius.
*****
lol, he's not a hipster for sure... you know what I mean, what a majestic beard... normally I think beards are retarded as fuck.
Hanniffy Dinn in a recent interview he said he hated but was growing it for a movie I think
Yapeseguy
yeah, he's took it off at the recent globes awards...
Yapeseguy its for his latest film, The Professor and the Madman, with Sean Penn. I saw him a couple of times while filming in Dublin, beside where I work. Epic beard.
Stefan G. Bucher but a genius nonetheless
Mel's been through some shit and I personally think, inherently, he's a good person and the drugs and alcohol ruined him. He's been shunned for almost 8 years now, and the first movie he makes is a fucking masterpiece. I'm glad he's back in the industry.
ejromm I hated hacksaw but I agree, he said some messed up shit (and personally I also don't agree with his religious views) but I think it's time to let the man live.
I never held anything against him, and I think it sucks when anyone is black or greylisted from the industry. I also never cared for anything Gibson directed so far, but I hope you're right about the new one being good. I'm going to see it finally this week...
Big Man Can I just say on one point you made, I hated Hacksaw as well, it made me cringe and the dialogue and action sequences didn't feel authentic or genuine, and all I hear is how amazing it is etc. I'm just happy to hear someone else didn't like it as well. I felt like I was in the twilight zone with everyone loving and raving about this glorified lifetime movie 😳🙄
I would maybe agree if the shit I've seen come out of Hollywood in the past 10 years was "good" but after watching 10 years of garbage hit the big screen, this movie is a breath of fresh air. No propaganda, no politics. It's just a movie about a man and his convictions. Mel even managed to make Christianity be a fairly large part of it, yet never once did I feel like it was being pushed on me.
I can't think of one movie that has come out in the past 10 years that does what this movie did. I just can't.
There's a reason he wear that Miraculous Medal around his neck.
Now that I think about it, Mel would've been a great Old Man Logan.
TheJustinCinema he'd make a great Joel in The Last of Us movie.
Doctor Doom Mel's more intense when conveying rage imo.... He'd make the perfect old Man Logan.
Well, for the first X-Men, they wanted him to be Wolverine, they just could not afford him, so they picked the relatively unknown Hugh Jackman. I'm sure he would have been an amazing Wolverine in all the X-men movies, but i also like Jackman.
The dude is passionate
I love how enthusiastic Mel is about storytelling. He seems genuinely thankful that he is able to do what he loves. I love listening to writers, actors, directors, etc. that are that enthusiastic.
A notable story teller with deep heart and intelligence.
Mel Gibson gets way too much hate. If there was a camera and a microphone on all of us at our worst moments, then you'd realise that what Mel did actually wasn't that *BAD*. The fact that the man got ostracised for eight years for doing something so 'in the moment' and ultimately harmless in the long run is sickening.
i think its 10 years
I think if we all had video tape of our moments when drunk made public, we'd all lose our jobs. It's just that he leads a public life and so the news ran with it. The Mel Gibson comeback is in full effect!
well said
Matt B I agree, I've definitely said things in moments of anger I didn't mean, things that don't define me. I'm glad he's back and stronger.
Matt B
I still think he's got a particularly nasty side to him but the red line for me is physical harm. He hasn't crossed it, Tom Cruise hasn't crossed it, Woody Allen hasn't crossed it; Cosby has, Polanski has; don't know about Louis CK but it would be kind of heartbreaking if the rumours were true.
Mel Gibson is in many ways a guru for me because he is an amazing filmmaker and actor but more importantly, he shows me something powerful. That people can change. Everyone still talks about what he did. But beliefs, thoughts, mindsets can all change. He changed and has come back strong.
I think Mel has always worn his heart on his sleeve, even if it gets him into trouble occasionally.
I think the drink does/did that
you sound like the news... as if he got really bad and then came back from it. people are cunts sometimes but mostly they're not. that's all
we're human me all make mistakes
I think the only bad thing Mel did was that he was driving after drinking.
His love and enthusiasm for what he does is completely infectious. Every interview he does is erudite, extremely thoughtful and kinda inspiring. As Charlie Rose once said, fascinating man.
Denzel just shook hands with the King .
No, Mel shook hands with the King.
How about 2 kings shook hands.
themoviechatters Denzel is great but Mel Gibson is on a higher level .
yeah, but you could tell, denzel don't like the mel...
they're actually friends
he is very well spoken. i respect this dude for going through all the tribulations he has gone through and to be able to speak and be that brave in the public eye the way he does is really admirable
I LOVE him. What an incredible comeback. Great director.
Mel Gibson talks and you can see the show of respect from everyone at the table even from King Denzel. Mel Is a boss no question.
Look at Denzel, he looks so fascinated when Mel Gibson is talking, you can see he has respect for him.
Wow... "stories where no one says anything" that is going to stick with me and I'm going to find my way to it... thank you thank you thank you... for the inspiration. I came here with blank canvas syndrome, now I can get to writing.
Don't worry Fred your videos are always great.
This is in the purest tradition ... show don't tell. It is a defining aspect of American film-making.
He must love "A Quiet Place" then
I'd recommend watch the Elder Scrolls Online Cinematic Trailers ua-cam.com/video/fFNc33OUIAM/v-deo.html . No-one says a word but their actions, their body language and the look in their eyes... it all speaks volumes if you can look past the fantastical setting they're in.
Dont give a shit what he did or what he said, any drunk person can do that..and it doesnt change the fact that Hacksaw Ridge is one of the best of 2016 if not best.
Chasing Enigma Um no. But, talent is separate from the person
mylobage uhmm yes
@@mylobage you don't know what you are even talking about.
@@robertsettle2590 you just don’t like the truth.
Mel is best guy ever!
He is a true Christian!He made a real movie about Jesus and thats all why this Hollywood talk trash about him and media propaganda.
They hate Jesus they hate Mel.Facts.
Mel is incredible talent.
Truth in youre face.😌🙌
This movie will go down as one of the most unappreciated films of all time. All because people can't handle a drunken rant.
Which is sad b/c I feel that he paid for that mistake - they have actors who have done much worse than Mel yet they were forgiven. I think Mel was never part of the "Hollywood clique" and b/4 that incident he still did the films on his own and his terms - that is why his films are so magnificent b/c Mel Gibson NEVER "played the Hollywood game" and he was always considered an outsider b/c of his "politics". This movie he recently made is "out the park amazing" and deserves a nomination - he should win too! LOVE U MEL, ALWAYS HAVE LOVED U - LOVE DENZEL AS WELL B/C HE DOESN'T TAKE ANY CRAP FROM HOLLYWOOD EITHER.
The King is back, so glad to see him here
Mel is awesome, man. Everyone says and does shitty things. If we had someone hovering over over us daily no one would crucify Mel like he got crucified. The guy obviously regrets what he did but he's got passion for his art and he's great at it. I'm glad he doesn't let his past drag him down and that he keeps moving forward. Props to this guy.
Great to see Mel being treated with some basic human decency not too mention some real respect. Good for him.
I love Mel's energy, he's a bit neurotic but he comes off as genuine and passionate.
Braveheart
Hacksaw Ridge
The Passion of the Christ
Apocalypto
Only need 2 ingredients for a Masterpiece
1. Mel Gibson
2. Rated R
Add Fatman to the list ! Ha ha
He's insane and I love it!
Best part is he doesn't really sound insane and he had everyone's attention at that table.
You're a moron
Sam Downer Fuck off.
He's not insane he was made Out to be by people who are insane
He’s not insane at all.
Look at everyone glued into every word Mel is saying. The man is an incredible story teller
Best director ever
I love how excited Mel is to direct, he just seems so happy to do something he loves
justin Atkinson He's a true artist and I love his directing style.
Mel Gibson is just so cool. He's had his rough times in the past, but nobody can deny how talented he is as a filmmaker. I mean 59 days to make Hacksaw Ridge is unbelievable
Hats off to Mel Gibson. His movies, and even his TV appearances, give me goosebumps bigtime. There's just something very unusually strong about him which I can't fail noticing.
Glad to see him back, full beard and all. The man knows how to direct cinema!
Great director, great actor, great artist.
Mel and Denzel are two of the greatest film talents of our time.
Nope only Mel 🙏
I just got a whole new view and respect for a person i knew nothing about. The movie absolutly blew me away, an emotional rollercoaster but as real as it ever gonna get.
Now hearing how he talks about it i see where that came from. Thats a man with an incredible view for beauty.
love Mel so much.
Mel has some intense energy, you can feel it. Those that are comfortable with it recognise the madman, the creative genius that’s inside. It’s like Carrey shedding his Ego, same thing with Mel, only the story is much more turbulent.
Great guy.
Or Kanye.
APOCALYPTO IS SOOOOO UNDERATED!!!
I would much appreciate the full round table video!
Everyone at the table especially Denzel is in aww of this man’s passion for his craft and character
Mel Gibson is the best at acting, directing and producing hands down.
LEGEND.
I dont give two shits about what people say about Mel Gibson! The guy is a frickin genius!
mel is back baby!
Jake R
he is awesome, apocalypto is one of my favorites film of all time
they have to stop beinging up his past. its over. let him make great movies
Being an actor makes it feel good to listen to you, I mean, this guy is _performing_ his way in this interview - and it's entertaining to hear him.
"People won't see that, its a Mel Gibson movie" ......I get excited about seeing it because it is a Mel Gibson movie!
This was really a good interview. He's excited about the work and that makes a difference in story telling.
i love how much Denzel listens
Mel Gibson is a director who will inspire you! With a Hallmark Channel beginning, beautifully directed with excellent actors; to an academy award winning ending. Mel Gibson is a genius, Andrew Garfield is phenomenal, and Hacksaw Ridge; an instant classic.
What a beard
There is a fly on your head
Denzel, watching and learning... Mel you have always been the man
Good to see Mel back on form
I love this guy.
Denzel's face is hilarious 😭😭😭
I really like mel gibson. hacksaw Ridge is incredible. I really feel like hes grown. and I respect anyone who can overcome alcoholism. it's not an easy thing to do. props mel!
oh! guys, so great you creating this to watch and I was just literally wondering about Mel Gibson! watching all his movies and Directing them, just wow perfection! Thank you and Happy New Year guys!
Thats why I saw his film. Mel is a Great Director
he did the best Hamlet I've ever seen
I agree!
My Fav Mel Movie is WHEN WE WERE HEROS and Signs ,Thanks Mr Gibson for being a really stellar multitalented Man
I agree with many others on here. I'm glad to see he's doing well. He is such an incredible actor and a great director. It's unfortunate about his personal past and it shouldn't have to follow him. We all make mistakes, but for famous actors those mistakes are broadcast to the entire world.
Wow! Just breathtaking watching him talk the way he does in front of another extraordinary actor, Denzel Washington. And others that I’ve seen before but do not remember their name.
His Voice Is So Amzing
I am glad he is back
Listening to this man is amazing, we can learn a lot from him.
Mel has said and done some questionable things, but the man is a genius when it comes to filmmaking.
And an unimportant note; I’ve always loved his voice.
It's not a coincidence they're constantly being criticised.....
Fun fact: Mel Gibson voice a chicken I believe his name was "Rocky" in the movie Chicken Run. 😂
Wow. Thank u .the real workmanship .
Everyone is just nodding respect...thats badass
At 2:12 I love everyone’s reaction to his answer. Lol and he’s right
are you going to post the full roundtable video soon????
hacksaw Ridge is one of the best movies i have ever seen
Good to have you back Mr. Gibson!
Well said, Mel Gibson. Couldn't have said it better.
Mel is a true force. Excellent talent. Amazing body of work. Oh to have his energy, and brilliance.
WOW! all these fantastic people in a room together! I'd watch this if they were just reading from the phonebook or saying NOTHING at all.
i love how Barry Jenkins just listening and soaking knowledge from the older guys the legend. you can tell he is smart
This guy needs to be in a Tarantino movie, ASAP
This is the best war movie I've ever seen. Way to go Mel!
This channel is in my opinion the most educational channel on this site
Awesome
Brilliantly Spoken!!!!
I was a Mel Gibson fan after I saw The Patriot, then I heard the voicemails between him and Oksana, and then I became A SUPERFAN
Mel is a mastermind and it's a great joy to get this brief glimpse into the master's mind.
This dude looks like Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
I was thinking Old Man Logan.
Or the Burger King.
If there are people who are accepting of Trump as president and what he and his supporters stand for, then you better forgive Mel Gibson.
Mel Pox he didn't vote for trump lol
send me a link or evidence verifying your claim please.... and cool lol
Fine with me.
slsrifle trump is a big racist son of a bitch and half of america love him if you support trump you shouldnt care about gibson comments,fucking republicans!!!!
slsrifle what did he do
Amazing movie, hard not to get emotional watching it.
Fave actor and now a great director.. Freeedooommmm...
I need to watch this.
What an inspiration. Everyone in the room is captivated by him.
Welcome back Mel
Where is there a full version of this? That was epic! Mel Gibson has so much energy and focus...and he looks more healthier than a lot of people half his age!
This movie was right there with saving private Ryan and both band of brothers series. Awesome stuff!
and Mel Hacksaw Ridge is one of the best EVER.Welcome back
Hacksaw Ridge
Shit man this nigga has been working out.
Christopher80611 No kidding look at his fucking forearms, dudes a beast
Yes and he looks so natural, not Arnold and Stalone. Those two look terrible!
His films are amazing! Great guy !!
MSM took great delight at the time Mel was at his lowest, in throwing him under the bus. I stopped listening and watching MSM decades ago, yet I hear their still at it when great men and women come forth with their incredible gifts, they try their hardest to destroy them.
For me Mel is an incredible human with incredible gifts, he captures true reality in his storytelling, non of this Disney fakery. For the most, unless one is a child, people want and need truth, the truth brings out the best in humanity.
It's true I am a fan of Mel and in my eye's he's still an extreamly handsome man, he ages like fine wine. Yet regardless of my fan-ness, above and beyond my crush, I see him first and foremost as an incredible actor and a vastly talented Director/producer. Keep sharing those true stories Mel and we'll keep turning up at the box office.
Mel
Let this man direct more movies, he's a genius
I love Mel Gibson and the movies he has played in or directed. Greetings from Tbilisi, Georgia.
