Chapter 607： I want to kill them

"I have been preparing for the filming of "The Passion of the Christ" for at least ten years. Deep down in my heart, I desperately want to tell the story of this biographical religion in the form of a movie. Belief. Everyone will have their own beliefs, and it’s great to be able to do something for their beliefs."

In the TV screen, Mel Gibson is being interviewed by a program of Columbia TV. The topic is of course the "Passion of the Christ" that has caused great controversy in North America recently. "From preparations, manuscripts to scripts, to fundraising and filming. , Post-production, and strive for distribution. For this third film I directed, I put a lot of effort into it."

"I like to photograph the essence of the crucifixion of Jesus. I am completely loyal to history. Christ was severely beaten, carrying the cross and going forward, hands and feet nailed to the cross." He added, "Christ has become a human being, and we have become murderers... "The Passion of the Christ" is the greatest heroic story of all time, the greatest adventure story, and the greatest love story."

"He makes me feel 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 have ever seen!"

She looked at Ryan. He had the same blood as herself, but his sense of identity was far not as strong as her own.

Ryan just shook Natalie's hand comfortingly. As early as when Mel Gibson brought the movie to Disney, he was rejected by him. Frankly speaking, he didn't think the current controversy had anything to do with him. How big is the relationship? Just be a spectator on the sidelines. If the major film companies don’t wait to see Mel Gibson in the future, it’s okay to be consistent with them.

Of course, Ryan never denies that Jewish descent has indeed given him a lot of convenience. He has even become an important member of the Hollywood Jewish Circle and the National Jewish Association.

This is no secret at all, so all he needs to do is to keep in line with the major Jewish organizations.

The interview on TV continues.

When the host asked whether the film would offend the Jews, Mel Gibson replied, "It doesn’t mean that, I just want to tell the truth. I want to make it as faithful as possible. However, when you think about the reason why Christ came to the world He was crucified—sacrificing for all. Suffering for all. So, really, those who made mistakes should remember their own part in the crucifixion of **** and the mistakes they made."

But when the host asked why the segment of Caiaphas, the Jewish high priest, was deleted, his answer turned out to be, "If I don't do this, they will definitely chase me to my home and kill me! "

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

Maybe I think Mel Gibson’s words are a bit overdone. Monica Bellucci, who has been silent in this movie, said suddenly, "The first thing "The Passion of the Christ" brings to the audience is the visual As an actor, I like controversial things, but I don’t understand why this film has been controversial from the beginning. It’s not an anti-Semitic movie, we all know it was killed by the Romans. **** Christ. Not the Jews."

Mel Gibson went on to say, "My film is about faith, hope, love, and forgiveness. It's about the sacrifice **** made for us. It's not about who killed Jesus. It's not about anyone. Go and bear the responsibility of Jesus' death!"

"Jesus was flogged because of human injustice, he was wounded because of the crimes we committed, and he suffered harm for us, so that we can be forgiven."

"If someone doesn't like this kind of cruelty, or the plot in the movie, then you don't want to watch it. If you go but feel unbearable, then you can leave midway."

He suddenly stood up, "No one will force you to watch!"

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

Ryan turned off the TV, pulled up Natalie and said, "The time is almost up, don't forget, you have an appointment with Scarlett to play tennis, don't worry about these things."

There is an outdoor tennis court in the villa Scarlett bought. The two of them changed into sportswear, opened the back door, passed the other side door, and entered Scarlett Johansson’s house. There was still a distance between them and they saw two. The blonde girls are competing on the tennis court.

Taylor is tall and long, not bad in strength, and occasionally practice. Scarlett is not her opponent at all. She is often yelled and irritated by some tricky ball returns, and her vigorous ball returns are not flying into the field. Outside, it is at the bottom of the net.

"Why do you grow so tall?"

Leaning on the tennis racket, Scarlett bent over and panted, and shouted at Taylor, who was already five feet nine inches tall opposite, "Alison, have you taken the heightening agent? You have grown so much this year!"

"Dear Scarlett."

After beckoning to Ryan and Natalie who were sitting on the sidelines, Taylor made a few consecutive bounce movements, "You can only look up at me from now on, hurry up and serve!"

"I won't fight you anymore."

Picking up the racket, Scarlett walked over to the rest area and sat behind Natalie. She took the energy drink and drank a big sip, "Nat, it’s so difficult for this guy. Dealt it."

"Ok."

Natalie took off her sports jacket, threw it to Ryan, chose one from a bunch of rackets, and walked onto the tennis court.

She is not good at sports, and the level of tennis is not much higher than Scarlett, but Taylor treats her completely different from Scarlett. Most of the time, the two are playing stalemate rounds.

"This guy knows to bully me."

Listening to Scarlett Johansson's muttering, Ryan couldn't help but looked at her curiously, then looked at Taylor who was standing up to serve, and then shook his head.

"This is my gift to you, Ryan."

Looking at the Gatorade that was handed over, Ryan took it and unscrewed the lid and took a sip, "The taste doesn't seem to be different, Scarlett."

"Because there is my sincerity and sincerity in it." She followed the golden ponytail behind her head and laughed.

To get the Oscar nomination for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Drama, Scarlett knows the reason for her mother’s hard work, and more importantly, the support from Ryan. At this age, she can get this. Honor, looking at all Hollywood, how many actresses can do it?

Even though there is a younger person on the Oscar best actress nomination list, Scarlett is very satisfied.

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

"Silence, don't express your opinions casually." Ryan said the safest way, after all, Scarlett Johansson is also Jewish.

His methods and ideas are very straightforward and simple. As long as the dirty water does not affect his person, he will be a bystander.

Hollywood producers have always been in reality. They don’t believe in ghosts and gods but only in money. If "The Passion of the Christ" gets a high box office, Mel Gibson will no longer make excessive moves. In the future, someone will still wave a check to find him for a new shoot. movie of.

You know, in less than a week, the North American copies of this film have increased from more than 2,500 to more than 4,000. Distributors and theater operators simply ignore the voices of protest in the face of huge interests.

Of course, if Mel Gibson says something that touches the bottom line of mainstream society, the experience of the previous life will definitely come.

Mel Gibson is not a fool. He was interviewed by Columbia TV and wanted to clarify some of the situation and win the support of mainstream media. Even if he had some ideas deep in his heart, he would not say it with a clear head, but this Always impulsive after drinking.

But the media and most Jewish groups didn't care about what he explained, and all kinds of criticisms could only be described as overwhelming.

Just after Mel Gibson was interviewed and came out of Columbia TV, the demonstrators who were besieged here were splashed with a bucket of sheep's blood. The situation was terrible.

Even if Mel Gibson looks very pitiful in blood, the media will never let him go.

"By using the straightforward description of the Roman event to incite the emotions of the audience, Mel Gibson made salvation and art disappear..." The Los Angeles Times rarely warned with a front-page comment that the film would'provoke the public to oppose the Jews.'

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 movie, and described it with words such as "strange, barbaric, and narcissistic."

The mainstream media’s attitude is very clear, and it is unceremonious to say that this film has caused a ‘culture war’ in North America.

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

‘Children should not be allowed to watch this film, and even adults should not take risks. "The Passion of the Christ" is the most vicious anti-Jewish film after the German Catholic Church's film about World War II. "

Pearson described the film as "disgusting" and "cruel". He felt that for ordinary audiences, the film was not so much entertainment as an anti-Semitic propaganda tool, saying that "Jews are in a two-hour and seven-minute movie. The movies are constantly slandered and insulted."

The topic of "The Passion of the Christ" is not only limited to the field of entertainment news, and has become the focus of everyone in the American society. Major Jewish organizations in North America, including the National Jewish Association, agreed that "The Passion of the Christ" was inciting Anti-Semitism led to massive protests.

In the face of the overwhelming wave of criticism, Mel Gibson fully demonstrated his unruly side. In an interview with The New Yorker, he expressed his anger at the New York Times and Los Angeles Times two Jewish journalists. .

"I want to kill them, pick out their intestines, and kill their dogs together!" (To be continued...) ()
