I hate that he's anti-Semitic.
I like the guy in movies, but I hate that being a fan of his means that I also have to acknowledge his Jew hate.
shareHe offered sincere contrition to both the Jewish people as well as their faith.
Mel didn’t make excuses, and he didn’t cop out with his upbringing, he owned his actions and apologized directly to the people he gravely hurt as well as offended.
People can change in this life and are deserving of forgiveness, especially when they own their shit and demonstrate remorse for their actions.
What more do you want from the guy?
See his apology here.

I don't want anything from the guy. That completely killed any desire I had to see any of his work ever again, and I'm not even among the people he's bigoted against. Here's a hint: It's FAR better not to do stupid, unconscionable things that NEED forgiveness than to have to seek it. He's an adult and should have known better. End of story ... and the end of Gibson fandom for me and many others.
shareHe's offered NO sincere apology.
I saw an interview with him where the interviewer (who later revealed that he was Jewish) was given a hard time by Gibson ("Do you have a dog in this fight?" Yeah, probably, if he's Jewish, and who an blame him?!? 😠), for asking about his anti-Semitic tirade.
That he's apparently now doing a documentary to expose 'Hollywood's child trafficking scandal' goes to show that he still has a bee in his bonnet about the JOOS, because, let's be 100% honest here; when anyone talks about exposing the elites as child abusers (blood libel and all that) what they're implicitly saying is "Look at those evil JOOS. Let's get back at them for killing Jesus" (and Gibson clearly has a Jesus complex, and feels he's been persecuted by the 'evil' JOOS of Hollywood).
Well, I'm so glad you're here to read minds and tell us what is "sincere" and what isn't. He's apologized multiple times, but it's never enough for the people like you who enjoy watching others fall.
shareI'm not the one talking about making a documentary 'exposing Hollywood' as Gibson is.
*That's* the behaviour of someone who seems to thrive on watching others fall.
FWIW, I'm willing to forgive anyone who is sincere in their contrition.
It's strange, you almost seem to be conflating the severity of Gibson's drunken rant to someone being a literal pedo. This is concerning.
The documentary is largely an unknown at the moment, but if it exposes sex trafficking then I'm not seeing what the problem is.
If Gibson genuinely knew about Hollywood sex trafficking, why didn't he come out with this info earlier?
My guess is that he doesn't know any more than any other clueless alt-right conspiracy-cultist with an axe to grind against the 'evil' libs and Joos, and is simply trying to muddy the waters by throwing dirt at the industry that supposedly 'cancelled' him.
We don't know what Mel's exact motivations are, but if this info is true then he wants the Epstein's of the world to be exposed, which certainly cannot be a bad thing.
Your motivations however are strange indeed, as you're apparently much more interested in Mel failing because he made a drunken rant 17 years ago and you apparently can read his mind to gauge the insincerity of his multiple apologies thereafter.
