Rebirth In Hollywood

"I have been preparing for the filming of this "Passion of the Christ" for at least ten years, and deep down in my heart, I am eager to tell this biographical religious story in the form of a film. beliefs. Everyone will have their beliefs and it is great to be able to do something for their beliefs.”

In the TV screen, Mel Gibson is being interviewed by a program on Columbia TV. The topic is of course the "Passion of the Christ" that has recently caused great controversy in North America, "From preparation, manuscript to script, to raising funds, shooting , post-production, fighting for distribution, I've put a lot of effort into this third film I've directed."

"I like to photograph the substance of the crucifixion, completely faithful to history, Christ being scourged, carrying the cross, and crucifying his hands and feet." He added, "Christ became man, we became murderers... The Passion of the Christ is the greatest heroic story of all time, the greatest adventure story, and the greatest love story."

"He makes me sick!"

Sitting in front of the TV, Natalie made no secret of her disgust and said to Ryan sitting next to her, "This is the most disgusting movie I've ever seen!"

She looked at Ryan. He had the same bloodline as herself, but his sense of identity was far less strong than her own.

Ryan just shook Natalie's hand comfortingly. As early as when Mel Gibson brought the movie to Disney, he was rejected by him. Frankly speaking, he didn't think the current controversy had anything to do with him. How big of a relationship, it's good to be a bystander. If the major film companies don't want to see Mel Gibson in the future, it's enough to be consistent with them.

Of course, Ryan never denied that being Jewish did give him a lot of convenience. He has even become an important member of the Hollywood Jewish Circle and the National Jewish Association.

It's no secret at all, so all he needs to do is align with the major Jewish organizations.

The interview on TV continues.

When asked by the host if the film would offend Jews, Mel Gibson replied, "No, I just want to state the truth, and I want to make it as faithful as possible. But when you think about why Christ came , He was crucified—for all. Suffered for all. So, really, people who have sinned, look back on your part in the crucifixion of Jesus, what you did wrong."

But when the host asked why the clip of Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest, was deleted, his answer turned out to be, "If I don't do this, they will chase my home and kill me! "

As for who they are referring to.

Presumably all viewers will understand.

She probably felt that Mel Gibson's words were a bit too much. Monica Bellucci, who participated in this movie but never made a sound, suddenly said, "The first thing that "The Passion of the Christ" brings to the audience is visual A beautiful movie. As an actor. I like controversial things, but I don't understand why this movie was controversial in the first place. It's not an anti-Semitic movie, as we all know, the Romans killed Jesus Christ. Not the Jews."

Mel Gibson continued, "My film is about faith, hope, love and forgiveness, about the sacrifice Jesus made for us. It's not about who killed Jesus. It's not about anyone. Go and take responsibility for the death of Jesus!"

"Jesus was whipped for human injustice, he was wounded for our sins, and he suffered for us so that we can be forgiven."

"If someone doesn't like this kind of cruelty and doesn't like the plot in the movie, then you don't want to watch it. If you go and you can't stand it, then you can quit halfway through."

He suddenly stood up, "No one will force you to watch!"

The Australian movie star showed his unruly side, and after speaking, went straight to the backstage.

Ryan turned off the TV, pulled Natalie up and said, "It's almost time, don't forget, you asked Scarlett to play tennis, don't worry about these things."

The villa Scarlett bought had an outdoor tennis court. The two of them changed into their sportswear, opened the back door, passed another side door, and entered Scarlett Johansson's house. Blonde girls are fighting on the tennis court.

Taylor is tall and has long legs, and her strength is not bad. She also practices occasionally. Scarlett is not her opponent at all. In addition, it is at the bottom of the net.

"Why do you have to grow so tall?"

Leaning on her tennis racket, Scarlett stooped and panted, shouting to Taylor, who was already five feet nine inches tall, "Alison, are you on height enhancers? You've grown so much this year!"

"Dear Scarlett."

After beckoning to Ryan and Natalie sitting on the sidelines, Taylor made several jumping swings in a row, "You can only look up at me in the future, hurry up and serve!"

"I won't fight you anymore."

Picking up the racket, Scarlett walked over to the rest area, sat next to Natalie, took the energy drink, and took a big sip, "Nate, change it for you, this guy is too difficult. dealt with."

"All right."

Natalie took off her sports jacket, threw it to Ryan, chose one of the rackets from a pile, and walked onto the tennis court.

She is not good at sports, and her tennis level is not much higher than Scarlett, but Taylor treats her completely different from Scarlett. Most of the time, the two are playing stalemate rounds.

"This guy knows how to bully me."

Listening to Scarlett Johansson's muttering, Ryan couldn't help looking at her curiously, and then at Taylor, who was standing and serving, and then shook his head.

"This is my thank you gift to you, Ryan."

Looking at the Gatorade handed over, Ryan took it and unscrewed the lid and took a sip. "The taste seems to be different, Scarlett."

"Because there is my sincerity and sincerity in it." She smoothed the golden ponytail behind her head and laughed.

To be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress and to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series, Scarlett knows that there are reasons for her mother's hard work, and more importantly, the support from Ryan. Honor, looking at all of Hollywood, how many actresses can do it?

Even if there is a younger person on the Oscar nominee list for best actress, Scarlett is very satisfied.

"Ryan, what do you think of "The Passion of the Christ"?" Scarlett's words turned to the recent hot topic. "A reporter asked me yesterday for my opinion on this matter, but I didn't say anything."

"Silence, don't express your opinions casually." Ryan said the safest way, after all, Scarlett Johansson is also Jewish.

His methods and ideas are very direct and simple. As long as the dirty water does not affect his own people, he will be a bystander.

Hollywood producers have always been realistic. They don't believe in ghosts and gods, only money. If "The Passion of the Christ" gets a high box office, Mel Gibson will no longer make excessive moves. In the future, there will still be people waving checks to find him to shoot new movies. movie of.

You must know that in less than a week after its release, the North American copies of this film have increased from more than 2,500 copies to more than 4,000 copies. In the face of huge interests, distributors and theater operators simply ignore the voices of protests.

Of course, if Mel Gibson says something that touches the bottom line of mainstream society, the experience of the past life will surely come.

Mel Gibson is not an idiot. In an interview with Columbia TV, he also wanted to clarify some situations and win the support of the mainstream media. Even if he really had some thoughts in his heart, he would not say it in a sober state, but this Always impulsive after drinking.

But the media and most Jewish groups didn't care what he explained, and the various attacks could only be described as overwhelming.

Just when Mel Gibson came out of Columbia TV after his interview, he was poured a bucket of sheep's blood by the crowd of demonstrators who surrounded him. The situation was terrible.

Even though Mel Gibson looks pitiful in blood, the media won't let him go.

"Mel Gibson swept away both redemption and art by stoking audiences with a candid depiction of the Roman gala..." The Los Angeles Times warned in a rare front-page review of the film's 'provocation of public anti-Semitism'.

The front-page news of The New York Times, one of the three major newspapers, called "The Passion of the Christ" a film with violent and anti-Semitic tendencies, and used words such as "strange, brutal, narcissistic" to describe the film.

The attitude of the mainstream media is very clear, and it is blunt to say that this film has caused a 'culture war' in North America.

Even Pearson, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, expressed his disgust with the film in an interview.

'Children shouldn't be allowed to watch this film, and even adults shouldn't risk it. The Passion of the Christ is the most viciously anti-Semitic film since the German Catholic Church film about World War II. "

Pearson, who described the film as "disgusting" and "cruel," felt the film was less of an entertainment than an anti-Semitic propaganda tool for the average audience, saying "Jews are in a two-hour, seven-minute film." The film is constantly slandered and insulted."

The topic of "The Passion of the Christ" is not only limited to the field of entertainment news, but has become the focus of everyone's attention in American society. Major Jewish organizations in North America, including the National Jewish Association, agree that "The Passion of the Christ" is inciting anti-Semitism, which led to massive protests.

In the face of the overwhelming wave of criticism, Mel Gibson fully demonstrated his unruly side. In an interview with The New Yorker, he expressed his anger at the two Jewish journalists of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. .

"I want to kill them, pick out their intestines, and kill their dogs too!" (To be continued..) ()
