He was cancelled, and was out of the industry for years.

He then kissed the ring, did the mea culpa, and got lucky making a pacifist WW2 movie. If that film tanked, or he didn’t kiss all of the asses, he’d still be out of business.

The reality is that being “cancelled” isn’t a huge deal when you’re already one of the economic elite. He didn’t even do a mea culpa, he just came back to the party and shrugged.

Not even the economic elite, just A list of some description.

Once your a big name you might have to take less money but someone somewhere will think you are a value proposition eventually.

It’s a pretty decent film, if a little heavy on the religious message.

I thought the religious part wasn’t forced or strange considering the real story.

I disagree. Yes, the protaganist had religous motivations for his actions, but that doesn’t mean the film itself has a religous message.

All of his movies are religious propaganda. Sometimes propaganda just happens to have a point.

I thought my friend had tricked me into watching a romance movie up until they got on the ridge and a dude got cut in half with bullets. I was not expecting that

It’s almost like “cancel culture” isn’t really how the world works

He lost half of this net worth before coming back, I think it did work until the industry let him back in and people forgot (or till the republicans picked anti-woke actors to support in Hollywood).

Because how cancelled you get is inversely related to how much money you’re worth (and make other people.)

Say what you want about Mel Gibson, but the son of a bitch knows story structure.

Man I wish something I did had 10 award nominations and people still said my career crashed and burned.

Hey, the production company who made that movie paid good money for those awards. The rich aren’t going to let something like on of their fellow rich guys being exposed as a racist stop them from getting the independent, merit based awards they paid for.
