Mel Gibson

Why am I thinking about making films about Vikings? I don't know anything about making films and not much about Vikings. So why the hell am I even thinking about that? But that was something that was early on was like a drive, I guess, to sort of depict things like that. So I did films in other languages, in Mayan and in Aramaic and in Latin. And there's a power to that.

I noticed when I was young, I used to go and watch a lot of foreign films. And I watched French movies, right? Or German or whatever they were, Spanish. I'd watch them and I'd think, wow, the acting's great in those. And it seemed better because of the subtitles. Right. Yeah, yeah. More believable somehow.

And also, it has to take your attention because you have to do another function. You have to read. Yeah. Which is another thing that sort of maybe blinds you to the flaws in the filmmaking, perhaps. Yeah. You know, hey, it's a great trick. It's obfuscation.

Yeah. And there's something about the written word that's like it's a pretty interesting thing to throw into the mix. I know when I first started it was kind of confusing, but then I got really good at it.

And I think especially with something like the passion that I did, the written word was very important because it was, you know, you got all those books, the Bible, you know, you've got the different gospels and stuff that people are quite familiar with. Half the time, they didn't even need to read the subtitles. They could look at it and know what was going on.

Yeah, there was a lot of opposition to it. And I don't know. I think if you ever hit on that subject matter... You're going to get people going because it's big subject matter. And it's like, you know, and my contention is, you know, when I was making it, it was like you're making this film.

And the idea was that we're all responsible for this, that his sacrifice was for all mankind and that for all our ills and all the things in our fallen nature. It was a redemption. So, you know, and I believe that. You know, I actually am. You know, I was born into a Catholic family. I'm very Christian in my beliefs, you know. So I do actually believe this stuff to the full.
