Legendary Hollywood Director

If there is anyone who has the sharpest market vision after transitioning from an actor to a director, it must be Mel Gibson.

Second-tier actors who are entering Hollywood seem to be able to touch the threshold of first-tier movie stars.

The age of 34 is also very suitable, but he chose to retreat behind the scenes, become a director, and founded Aiken Pictures with a friend of his.

The subject of his debut work is a faceless man in a niche literary film. He directed and acted himself without much splash. It was mainly used to practice his skills and familiarize himself with the shooting process.

The second play, Braveheart, reflects the court politics in England. It happened around 1995, and the theme of epic costumes prevailed. The plot was well arranged and the heroine Sophie Marceau was amazingly beautiful and attracted a lot of attention. The prize chase really exploded.

With this theme, it has been nominated for 10 Oscars and won five awards including best picture and best director.

It is quite profitable.

He is really smart, perhaps because he has been an actor, he is very clear about what the audience likes to watch, and many plot developments are not necessary at all, but they are forcibly added for the sake of viewing.

For example, this Passion of Jesus.

He knew very well that the subject matter of Jesus alone would not know how big the market would be. As long as it was photographed, he would not be afraid that no one would pay for it.

And the evaluation or something will definitely not be too bad, just like Braveheart, such a heavy subject, who has the nerve to say that the movie is bad? No awards?

Are you casting a role, or to highlight a face value, Maria found Monica Bellucci to play, and Jesus found James Caviezel.

It is also specially marked that it is a clear restoration of the story of Jesus in the last 12 hours before his martyrdom.

The press release is all about how real this movie is. Anyway, it is to seize the edge of religious belief and sell it hard.

Sure enough, with an investment of 25 million yuan, we also picked a less competitive schedule like mid-February, and we have the right time, place, and people in our hands.

It took only a week to swipe more than 100 million box office.

Unfortunately, the controversy about the movie has not stopped since the day it was released.

why?

To put it simply, from an artistic point of view, this film is no match for the Matthew Gospel filmed by Pasolini of the same type and theme, and the development of the plot is too Hollywood.

Although Mel Jebson is still a man of integrity, he doesn't show off too much commercial elements, otherwise he will be even worse.

This guy not only chooses those vases, but also about the crucifixion of Jesus, it is a cult film supported by the level of blood.

Peggy Scott, a 56-year-old woman from Kansas, who is a devout believer in God and who doesn't usually watch movies at all, suffered a heart attack and died on the spot because she couldn't bear the picture of Jesus being tortured. You will know that, How bloody the footage is.

This time, Mel Jebson has more private goods than the brave heart, and the naked scene reflects how cruel human nature is for those believers who betrayed Jesus.

Unfortunately, he forgot that the subject of his shooting was Jesus, whom countless believers can empathize with. He would have fallen by the way of blood and blood. This part was not good at all, but he chose to choose this part of torture. Still focus on drawing.

Especially when many people watched the film with support, but found that the director indulged in the uncontrolled use of tyranny and blood to express the holiness and sublime of Jesus, and the vulgarity reached the extreme. What would that feeling be?
