Something To Think About

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2010)

I've watched this film likely over one hundred times. It would not be an exaggeration to state this. In summation, I would have to say that this is Gibson's best work. The Passion Of The Christ is what he is most well known for but his direction of Braveheart, coupled with his acting brought cinematic history to the forefront of our minds.
I can't help but point out the similarities between WIlliam Wallace and the depiction of Christ. They were both men who died for what they believed in and never broke in the face of persecution. They fought for justice. May we draw the same conclusions about Mel Gibson as a man? Is art imitating life?
