"I have been preparing for the filming of The Passion of the Christ for at least ten years, and deep down in my heart, I desperately want to tell the story of this biographical religion in the form of a film, which is what I have always believed. Everyone will have their own beliefs, and it's great to be able to do something about what you believe in. ”

In the picture of the TV, Mel? Gibson was being interviewed on a Columbia television program about "The Passion of the Christ," which has recently sparked a huge controversy in North America, "From the preparation, to the manuscript, to the script, to the fundraising, shooting, post-production, and distribution, I put a lot of effort into this third film that I directed." ”

"I love to photograph the essence of the crucifixion, to be completely faithful to history, with Christ being scourged, carrying the cross and crucifying his hands and feet." He added, "Christ became man, we became murderers...... The Passion of the Christ is the greatest story of heroes of all time, the greatest story of adventure, and the greatest story of love. ”

"He makes me sick!"

Sitting in front of the TV, Natalie made no secret of her disgust and said to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "This is the most disgusting movie I've ever seen!" ”

She looked at Ryan, who had the same blood as herself, but whose sense of identity was far less than that of herself.

Ryan just shook Natalie's hand comfortingly, back in Mel? When Gibson approached Disney with a movie, he was rejected, frankly speaking, he doesn't think the current controversy has much to do with him, it's good to be a spectator, and if the major film companies don't want to see Mel in the future? Gibson's words, you can be consistent with them.

Of course, Ryan never denied that being Jewish did make a lot of things happen to him. He even became an important member of the Jewish circle in Hollywood and the National Jewish Association of America.

It's no secret at all, so what he needs to do is align himself with the major Jewish organizations.

The interview on TV continues.

When asked by the host if the film would offend the Jews, Mel? Gibson replied, "No, I just want to tell the truth, and I want to make it as faithful as possible." But when you think about the reason why Christ came into the world, He was crucified - a sacrifice for all. Suffering for all. So, really, those who have made mistakes should remember their share in the crucifixion of Jesus, and remember the mistakes they have made. ”

But when asked why the clip of Caiaphas, the high priest of Judaism, was deleted, he replied, "If I don't, they will chase me to my house and kill me!" ”

As for who they are referring to. Presumably all viewers will understand.

Probably think Mel? Gibson's words are a little too much, Monica, who participated in this movie but has not spoken out much? Bellucci suddenly said, "The Passion of the Christ brings the audience first and foremost a visually beautiful film. As an actor. I like controversial things, but I don't understand why the film was controversial from the start. It is not an anti-Semitic movie, as we all know, it was the Romans who killed Jesus Christ. And not Jews. ”

Mel? Gibson continued, "This film of mine is about faith, hope, love, and forgiveness, about the sacrifice Jesus made for us. It's not about finding out who killed Jesus. Nor is it for anyone to bear the responsibility for Jesus' death! ”

"Jesus was scourged for human injustice, he was wounded for the sins we committed, and he suffered for us so that we could be forgiven."

"If someone doesn't like the cruelty and doesn't like the plot in the movie, then you don't want to watch it, and if you go and you can't stand it, then you can quit halfway."

He stood up suddenly, "No one is going to force you to watch!" ”

The Australian movie star showed his unruly side, and after saying that, he went straight to the backstage.

Ryan turned off the TV, pulled Natalie up and said, "It's almost time, don't forget, you asked Scarlett to play tennis, don't worry about these things." ”

There is an outdoor tennis court in the villa that Scarlett bought, and the two of them changed into sportswear, opened the back door, passed through another side door, and entered Scarlett? Johnson's home, some distance away, saw two blonde girls facing off on the tennis court.

Taylor is tall and long-legged, not bad in terms of strength, and occasionally practices, Scarlett is not her opponent at all, and is often angry with some tricky returns, and her powerful returns either fly off the court or fall to the bottom of the net.

"Why are you growing so tall?"

With her tennis racket on her hand, Scarlett bent over and gasped for breath, shouting at Taylor, who was already five feet nine inches tall on the other side, "Allison, did you take height boosters?" It's been so much longer! ”

"Dear Scarlett."

After waving to Ryan and Natalie, who were sitting on the sidelines, Taylor made a few jumping swings in a row, "You can only look up at me in the future, oh, hurry up and serve!" ”

"I'm not going to fight you."

Shouldering the racket, Scarlett walked towards the rest area, sat down next to Natalie, took a functional drink, and took a big sip, "Nat, it's good for you, this guy is too difficult to deal with." ”

"Okay."

Natalie took off her sports coat, tossed it to Ryan, picked one of the rackets and walked onto the tennis court.

She's not very athletic, and her tennis skills aren't much higher than Scarlett's, but Taylor is nothing like Scarlett, and most of the time, the two are playing round-to-head.

"This guy knows how to bully me."

Listen to Scarlett? Johnson muttered, Ryan couldn't help but look at her curiously, then at Taylor, who was standing on the serve, and then shook his head.

"This is my thank you gift, Ryan."

Looking at the Gatorade handed over, Ryan took it and unscrewed the lid and took a sip, "It seems to taste different, Scarlett." ”

"Because there is my sincerity and sincerity in it." She smoothed the golden ponytail at the back of her head and laughed.

can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress and win the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Actress, Scarlett knows that there is a reason for her mother's hard work, and more importantly, the support from Ryan, can get such an honor at such an age, looking at Hollywood, how many actresses can do it?

Even though there is an even younger person in the list of Oscar nominees for Best Actress, Scarlett is very satisfied.

"Ryan, what do you think of The Passion of the Christ?" Scarlett's words turned to the recent hot topic, "Yesterday a reporter asked me what I thought about this matter, but I didn't say anything. ”

"Be silent, don't just say anything." Ryan said the safest thing to do, after all, Scarlett? Johnson is also Jewish.

His approach and ideas are very direct and simple, as long as the dirty water does not affect his own people, then be a bystander.

Hollywood studios have always been realistic, not believing in ghosts and gods, only believing in money, if "The Passion of the Christ" achieves a high box office, Mel? Gibson doesn't go too far, and there will still be people waving checks to him to make new movies in the future.

You know, in less than a week after its release, the number of North American copies of the film has increased from more than 2,500 to more than 4,000, and distributors and theaters have ignored the protests in the face of huge profits.

Of course, if Mel? Gibson said something that touched the bottom line of mainstream society, and the experience of his previous life will definitely come.

Mel? Gibson is not stupid, and in an interview with Columbia TV, he also wanted to clarify some of the situation and win the support of the mainstream media, even if he really had some thoughts in his heart, he would not say it in a sober mind, but this man has always been impulsive after drinking.

But the media and most Jewish groups simply ignored his explanations, and the various criticisms could only be described as overwhelming.

Just in Mel? After the interview, Gibson came out of Columbia TV when he was splashed with a bucket of sheep blood by the demonstrators who surrounded the area, and the situation was horrific.

Even Mel? Gibson's bloody appearance looked very pitiful, but the media simply wouldn't let him go.

"To incite the audience with a straightforward depiction of a Roman pageant, Mel? Gibson wiped out both redemption and art...... "The Los Angeles Times made a rare front-page review warning that the film would 'stir up public anti-Semitism.'"

The front-page news of the New York Times, one of the three major newspapers, called "The Passion of the Christ" a violent and anti-Semitic film, and described it as 'strange, barbaric, and narcissistic'.

The mainstream media is very clear, and to put it bluntly, the film has caused a 'culture war' in North America.

Even Pearson, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, expressed his disgust with the film in an interview.

'Children shouldn't watch this film, and even adults shouldn't take the risk. The Passion of the Christ is the most vicious anti-Semitic film since the German Catholic Church's film about World War II. ”

Pearson described the film as "disgusting" and "cruel," and he felt that the film was more of an anti-Semitic propaganda tool for the general audience than entertainment, saying that "Jews are constantly slandered and insulted in a two-hour and seven-minute movie." ”

The topic of "The Passion of the Christ" has not only been limited to the field of entertainment news, but has become the focus of attention of everyone in American society, and major Jewish organizations in North America, including the National Jewish Association, have unanimously believed that "The Passion of the Christ" is inciting anti-Semitism, and thus launched a large-scale protest.

In the face of an overwhelming wave of bashing, Mel? Gibson was on full display of his unruly side, expressing his anger at two Jewish journalists for The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times in an interview with The New Yorker.

"I want to slaughter them, pick out their intestines, and slaughter their dogs as well!" (To be continued......)
