>After wowing critics at early morning press screenings on Sunday, Mel Gibson’s pacifist World War II action drama, Hacksaw Ridge, had its red carpet world premiere out of competition at the Venice Film Festival last night. The film played to a roughly 10-minute standing ovation — long standing-Os are not as common a happenstance on the Lido as they are at some other festivals. At about six minutes into the ovation, Gibson and the actors were asked to go down into the audience. >This is the first film Gibson has directed in a decade and last night at the gala premiere, he and the actors were “overwhelmed” and “very truly speechless,” I’m told by a person close to the gang. A private dinner followed hosted by Hacksaw‘s Italian distributors, Andrea Leone and Eagle Pictures.
Do people really belive this shit? 10 minutes us an eternity to fucking stand and clap. I don't think I've clapped for more than 15 seconds let alone 600.
Easton Smith
nigga have you ever even been to a church? based mel evokes spiritual redemption in people
Hudson Morgan
>10 minutes
I dont care how good a film is standing and clapping for more than 30 seconds straight would be awkward as fuck.
>what is saving private ryan he's actually not that bad when he's not pretending to be super fast car man
Nathan Green
She is literally not even reviewing the movie. She's just babbling nonsense.
Adam Cox
Well when opera used to be the big performance artform, you used to have hour-long ovations when new works were given by someone like Verdi.
Even at classical music concerts today, a good-exceptional performance will get about 10 minutes of applause too.
Parker Hill
>people aren't allowed to have moral convictions if it comes from religion because I HATE RELIGION
Wew
John Watson
Good for Mel, can you fags stop whining about him being blackballed from the industry now?
Luis Martinez
Muh atheism - the review
Jacob Mitchell
Not what she said. Having convictions isn't the same as portraying religious people as morally superior to nonreligious people.

many europeans are much more forgiving over his political transgressions. We dont have angry jews in every position of power, they kinda just disappeared at the middle of the last century.

Why are you posting month old news?
this. all anti-war movies are inherently hypocritcal

I've laughed for twenty minutes, no stopping. It can happen.
Easton Rivera
>religious people as morally superior to nonreligious people.
there is no morality outside of religion, so the statement is true.
Thomas Ward
But she appears to be saying that the protagonist's stance (i.e. the sanctity - for want of a better word - of human life) would be worth celebrating if his moral system stemmed from a non-religious point of view. In this position. The 'celebration' being an appreciation of the moral superiority of the protagonist.
But the instant that this moral system is connected to religion, it is no longer worth celebrating because the fact that the moral system is intrinsically tied to the religion makes it problematic to celebrate the position.

>war is bad guys >9/10 times the warfare scenes are designed to be exciting or shocking and only reinforce the ways people glamorize combat
Carter Thomas
holy shit that trailer is dogshit. looks like 1/10 oscar bait, which makes sense it would get ovations at a film festival.
the worse the bait is, the better it's received. universal law of film festivals and oscarbaits
Noah Barnes
>this. all anti-war movies are inherently hypocritcal gee I wonder how you got that intelligent incompletely independent thought
Juan Foster
it's not the clapping I have an issue with - it's the fact that they did it for 10 fucking minutes over a movie.
And then you people have the gall to say >Americlaps
Nolan Roberts
Thank god. Now go and make that viking movie
Henry Nelson

>there is no morality outside of religion Why do you say that? Why would that even be slightly the case?
Angel Cook
You have no idea what you're talking about. Oscar bait shit gets torn apart all the time, see that Van-Sant/McConaughey film or the Grace Kelly biopic a few years ago
>150,000 views Are you an idiot?
David Johnson
If there isn't an absolute good and evil or god then we're just animals. Murder and rape and other crimes would simply be unfashionable and not evil, and the only reason not to perform them would be due to some evolutionary mechanism that prevents us from doing so for the good of our species.

The jews kept him from making maybe 2-5 movies. He was set to do a native language viking movie after Passion and Apocalypto.
Fuck these fucking kikes. Just glad they couldn't hold him back forever.
Landon Peterson
>there is no morality outside of religion Do Christfags believe they invented morality? You can invent a moral in three seconds. Gee, its almost as if people construct morality...
Thus board us full of fucking morons

Andrew Wood

Hudson Adams
I can't believe he believes in the message of the movie tho.
Isaac Howard
Did they forgive Lars Von Trier?
Michael Rivera
That's what I'm saying. Not that all are bad, but the vast majority are flawed in their message
Ryder Allen
Fighting for the Jews is always wrong. Mel knows that.
Andrew Perry
I think he'll say some shit about it in the future.

^this is what I responded to, it is quite literally a pol jew boogeyman. Are you illiterate?
James Phillips
>really wondering who could be behind this post right now Gee, this is totally not about jews, right? Are you retarded?
Bentley White
i didn't make that post, only this one
why is your instinct to think that this would refer to jews? are you antisemitic?
Luke Johnson
Dont be a coy faggot, you know full well that your response was meant to be about jews being behind this post. The whole chain you were in is about jews being the reason mel doesnt work in hollywood...which is pol bs.
So please, go back
Noah Bailey
Then tell us all what you meant then...who was behind that post, huh? Enlighten us.
Asher Howard
you seem very quick to judge and condemn anons you have a lot of anger in you and this is not making a good atmosphere in this thread
Charles Edwards
Mel is too good for Hollywood.
The jews don't deserve him.
Nolan Wood
So basically everyone giving a standing ovation was saying "oh, it's ok to be a wife abusing racist and sexist, that's totally fine as long as you still make good movies!"
Not eventrolling, people make me sick
