    No because we live in a hypocritical society.
    We live in a society where the cast of Hangover wouldn't work with Mel but would work with convicted rapist Mike Tyson, where Bill Murray's wife accused him of beating her but no one was bothered, and Marlon Brando insulted the Jewish community in Hollywood and it's never mentioned.
    Why was it different with Mel?
    I can only assume it's because he insulted the Jewish community while in a drunken state and being arrested at a time when he'd already pissed many off with his Christ movie, and then came the recorded phone calls that were everywhere on the internet for people to hear.
    On top of that, some people like to paint him with the same brush as his dad.
    Mel will NEVER be redeemed or escape from the controversy but I'm still a fan.
    See if you bastards can do 90

        And forget about all the well respected, high profile types like George Miller, Peter Weir, Sigourney Weaver, Jodie Foster, Ron Howard. etc who actually know him and have actually worked with him and come out and defended him.
        Not to mention his wife of nearly 30 years who's said he never laid a finger on her at any point.
        Ignore all that it just gets in the way of the witch hunt and agenda of painting him as one of the most despicable people who's ever lived.

          Hell, even after Mel was caught on tape yelling racist sh!t at his ex, he still had famous black stars like Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover coming out in Mel's defense. They know him better than all of these sheep following the Hate Mel bandwagon.

            Good points but if he displayed a little humility it would go a long way and a good PR firm doesn't hurt either. He's got enough money (and friends) if he wanted to launch himself again. Give it time.

              If Gibson wants a career like RDJ, he needs to land himself a similar role. It's not like he hasn't gotten roles either. Also, Bieber is far younger and appeals to a much different demographic than Gibson does. Hacksaw Ridge could be good for him as a director if it turns out great.

                  For Gibson to be redeemed it starts with US forgiving him and nutsacks like Bhikky to go away and not come back.

                    The presence of a troll has nothing to do with whether or not Mel is redeemed.

                      Redemption means being redeemed and forgiven in the eyes of the world. People like Bhikky will never let Gibson be redeemed and will always try to tear him down even once he's redeemed

                          Speak for yourself. I rest assured that you are the only person on Earth who ascribes power to useless little twits. I would consider spitting at him to be a waste of good sputum.

                            Oh let trolls waste their lives on petty trivialities of hate if they want to it only makes Gibson appear all the better for having gracefully endured such unnecessary nonsense.

                              Exactly. Jesus said, "Those without sin cast the first stone" Mel said Jesus was the only true hero on earth. I believe his relationship with him is the most personal and the only one that truly counts in this world. He is forgiven by the only one that mattersJesus.
                              But the hatersthey need to stop hating anyone, it's just wrong and hypocritical to call Mel out and be one yourself.
                              Mel stopped drinking and smoking years ago; he said he's trying to better himself. Good, that is what Jesus would want him to do. Again, the only one that truly matters.

                                Where's the fruit of the Spirit? How many women has he been living with since he supposedly was "redeemed"? How many children has he fathered out of wedlock? I honestly don't know, because I can't take the man's "Christianity" seriously since there's no difference in the way he lives and the way a godless unbeliever lives. He might play church, but that's it.
                                But he seems to have gotten his career back, and that's the main thing, isn't it?

                                  No. He's too old. He's also too prideful and unapologetic. And good for him. Ain't nothing worth spending the rest of your career groveling and pretending to be humble. It just sucks we got robbed of the last ten years of Mel's youthful years before he becomes an old man. Lost a batch of great movies there.
