Antisemite Mel Gibson joins "Rothchild" - A film about the New York super rich

He was fantastic. Everybody was great. I had set a low bar when I heard it was a mess, but it was the exact opposite.
Well, seeing as this is being produced by HanWay Films, who largely stick to small prestige films with the occasional genre offering, I think your fears are largely unfounded. The casting is tone-deaf for sure, but sometimes, one bad thing is just one bad thing.
Nah. Let him rot away in his mansions.
This is what I want to know as well.
I wonder if it will discuss the fact that Rothschild Inc saved Trump in 1990 when Wilbur Ross was its CEO.
So making any movie about them is verboten? I don't quite understand this take.
Not liking Mel Gibson, I totally get. But this seems like an odd argument, unless there is specifically something anti-semitic about the portrayal or the implications of the story. But we literally have no idea.
Well I mean hiring the violent anti-semite isn't getting them off to a good start
Man, Mel Gibson always gives me weird feelings. For everything he's said and done about multiple minority groups, I loathe him. But, what he did for Robert Downey Jr., certainly saved his career and probably saved his life.
I still loathe him, but now I also feel guilty for loathing him. It's the same feeling I get when Robert Downey Jr. says he'd work with him. I feel anger and guilt. It's just the absolute worst type of feeling.

What has Gibson done to show that he's bettered himself and is truly sorry? He directed some good movies?
He definitely isn't a Holocaust denier. Why else would he call Winona Ryder an oven dodger?

This is gross. With projects like these combined with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib's recent terrifying comments its clear antisemitism is on the rise. We all need to speak out on this.
Bad people can do good things. No need to feel guilt for loathing a piece of shit
Mel is a asshole, he has done some horrible things over the years.Hopefully he has changed his ways and paid for it dearly.
I think we dont know enough to freak out about the story line just yet.
But about the Rothchilds being shady motherfuckers that abused people and war to get rich, filthy rich at that, that shit is spot on. The Rothchilds get no sympathy from me.

Mel Gibson is an abuser and a racist. Thgs enough for me. Will continue to not see anything he is involved in.
This isnt how you do a satire or a Roman a clef. They're about to get sued into oblivion especially with how obvious the name is. They literally just removed one letter.
That is fine no objection on that. I am speaking to the notion that the movie is going to be nothing but anti-Semitic attacks on the family.
Those of you who say that Rotschilds should not get our sympathy are missing the point. It is not about one family being targeted by antisemites. It is about the family being turned into a symbol which contributed to millions of innocent people being killed. The name "Rotschild" functions more like a label for a "rich Jew" than a reference to a real family. This makes the project problematic as it fuels into the antisemitic narrative according to which all Jews are dangerous because they are rich, powerful and well-connected.
Oh ok I see what you mean. Given his Past, it seems completely tone deaf to cast him.
Its a train wreck for sure. The family historically certainly has some strange ass baggage but the plot synopsis feels like they are parodying the modern family
Gibson may be more open about his bigotry, but #WeAreRight is pretty disgusting in its own right.
Its weirdly telling when you compare the reactions in the Constance Wu thread to the ones here
but iron man told us it is time!Dozens of posters on GAF and ERA over the years: "It's time to forgive Mel Gibson"
I'm an agnostic raised as a catholic, but I still don't get the conncetion behind anti-semitism and "jews killing Jesus".
1. it was the Romans who did the dirty work
2. Jesus was a jew and the Romans made that very clear with the INRI sign
3. without Jesus being crucified the whole message of the new testament would fall apart, because no martyrium, no sacrifice.
4. the bible without the new testament is basically Judaism
5. Jesus came back from the dead, so he wasn't even killed
Or did I miss something?

It would be great for FernandoRocker to explain, but he's refusing to interact beyond defending a holocaust denier.
Every time I see Gibson in a movie, I'm put off by the movie. Fuck this guy.
Hollywood really is so much bullshit to keep people like this around.

Holocaust deniers generally fall into two categories:
- Those who straight up deny the Holocaust happened, they argue that there weren't that many Jews in Europe to begin with before WWII, that at most ~250,000 Jews died as civilian casualties in World War II, and that there was no effort by the Nazis to do anything to Jews in particular.
- Those who recognize that the Holocaust happened but generally try to downplay its severity at every turn... E.g., it wasn't 6million Jews, it was 2million Jews; The Nazis weren't targeting Jews for being Jewish, they were targeting all non-Germans in Germany/Austria/Europe; "The Holocaust may be bad, but the result of the Holocaust [what they see as the State of Israel] is worse!"
And yeah, holocaust deniers are conspiracy theorists. Holocaust denial is one of the top conspiracy theories since World War II, and probably the most common/pervasive. Aside from other insidious conspiracies about Jews (e.g., Jews control the media, Jews control the press, Jews control the banks, Israel only exists because of Jewish money, etc), denying the holocaust is the most common conspiracy theory in the world.
I find it interesting that you've been on Era multiple times since making this post but are now purposefully avoiding the thread so that you don't have to answer, "How did he pay his dues?"
Look. I'm just reading some of the links provided here in this thread. There are some things about Mel Gibson I didn't know, OK?
