Mel Gibson was on O’Reilly last night talking about his upcoming movie on the life of Christ, which is evidently unabashedly Christian and being done in Latin and Aramaic. We obviously have to wait to see the film, but this is very unHollywood talk from Gibson (a Catholic), probably a good sign:
I want to be as truthful as possible. But, when you look at the reasons behind why Christ came, why he was crucified, he died for all mankind and he suffered for all mankind, so that, really, anybody who transgresses has to look at their own part or look at their own culpability.
It’s time to sort of get back to a basic message, the message that was given. At this time, the world has gone nuts, I think. And this film speaks — well, Christ spoke of faith, hope, love and forgiveness. And these are things I think we need to be reminded of again. He forgave as he was tortured and killed. And we could do with a little of that behavior.
