Iconic figure of cinema, with a career marked by legendary roles in sagas Mad Max AND Lethal weapon, Mel Gibson it reached the heights before sinking. In the early 2000s, the actor signed his third feature film The Passion of Christ (2004), which despite numerous controversies (particularly over the way the film depicts Jews), was a resounding success. More than $611 million in revenue worldwide and three Oscar nominations allowed him to continue Apocalyptus (2006), criticized this time for its violent and stereotypical portrayal of the Mayan people.
But it is an arrest for drunkennesson July 28, 2006, which changed that. During this, Mel Gibson held his own anti-Semitic remarks. The actor then found himself blacklisted in Hollywood and disappeared from screens for several years, before returning in 2010 to Out of control. The actor, however, participated mainly in the B series and occasionally. He still managed to create another ambitious project with You will not kill (2016)a monstrous war film nominated in six Oscar categories, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Despite this “recognition” with You will not killwe can’t say that Mel Gibson is in high demand in Hollywood. In any case, much less than in the nineties. However, the actor and director continues to have acclaim. This is the case ofAndrea Garfieldwho was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for the previously mentioned film. The actor recently spoke to the magazine People and I felt Mel Gibson deserved at least a second chance. To defend him, Andrew Garfield claimed that he had done so a lot of work on himself and described him as very compassionate.
I believe people deserve a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance. None of us are infallible. Mel worked a lot on himself. And thank God. Because he’s an incredible director and I think he deserves to make films. He deserves to be told stories, because he has a very, very big, compassionate heart.
Andrew Garfield shared his experience with Mel Gibson as a director and explained that, thanks to him, he had “learned a lot“, in particular on the fact that”people can heal and get better, change and get help“. The actor goes even further by ensuring that Mel Gibson is “a truly empathetic man“and, like everyone else, he”deserves respect“.
