I think there's a personality defect that draws people to the acting profession.
Same with most people in media. Media people are one-dimensional actors and narcissists reading from a script, or useless or duplicitous, narcissistic talking heads.

Yeah... maybe this time Mel, the Hollywood Marrano, will include a non-Protestant scene depicting the Virgin Mary's exclusive license to crush the head of the serpent?

Meh, the reading of that passage is disputed even among the Church Fathers.  Earliest version even of the Vulgate has "he" but a subsequent one has "she".  God's Providence probably allowed both because He meant both.

This note is from the Douay-Rheims Challoner.
Quote
 "She shall crush": Ipsa, the woman; so divers of the fathers read this place, conformably to the Latin: others read it ipsum, viz., the seed. The sense is the same: for it is by her seed, Jesus Christ, that the woman crushes the serpent's head.

So, my biggest complaint about The Passion is Gibson's casting of that homely Jewess to play the role of Our Lady, along with a few relatively-minor scenes here and there.

Perhaps.  I think that many get into acting to "run away" from their real selves.

In any case, with Mel Gibson, you can see a glimmer or "crazy" in his eyes, where he looks like he's having a debate within himself in his own mind ... probably the result of a guilty conscience from the schizophrenia between his beliefs and his own moral life, between the life of a Catholic and that of a Hollywood star.  I've known other people that had those same darting eyes, sometimes partly rolled up and at other times rolled to the side ... and that's exactly what was going on, and internal mental debate.

It's possible, but he had the same look even in his early years.  I think it's just the glimmer of a highly-creative person.

I agree.  Gibson's Hollywood life has always oozed with "jew-show-biz" creativity.

In fact, his baby-blue eyes glimmer so much, like the Egyptian deity Horus, he has to cover one occasionally, and give us other signs, to remind us of where he's really coming from.












Mel Gibson: Famous Masonic Actor  link

Mel Gibson is a highly successful actor, director, and producer. He is perhaps best known for his iconic performances in Braveheart, The Patriot, and the Mad Max series. But what many people don’t know is that he is also a member of the Freemasons.

Gibson was initiated into the fraternity in 1985 at Hollywood Lodge No. 355 in California. He has since become an active member of the Masonic community, attending meetings and giving lectures to fellow members. He has even been awarded several Masonic honors for his contributions to the organization.
The Freemasons are an international fraternal organization that stands for brotherly love, relief, and truth. Its members strive to improve themselves spiritually and morally by studying ancient texts and engaging in charitable activities. Gibson’s involvement with the organization indicates his commitment to these values.
Gibson’s membership in the Freemasons has also been an influence on his film career. The Mad Max series features several subtle references to Masonic symbols and rituals, such as secret handshakes and coded language. His films often contain themes of justice, courage, and brotherhood—values shared by both the Masons and Gibson himself.

Gibson’s work as an actor has earned him numerous awards over the years, including two Academy Awards for Best Director (Braveheart) and Best Picture (The Passion of The Christ). It’s clear that he takes his craft seriously—and it seems that he takes his membership in the Freemasons seriously as well.

Beyond his acting career, Gibson has made a name for himself as a philanthropist. He has donated millions of dollars to charities around the world over the years, including those related to health care and disaster relief efforts. His involvement with the Masons may have played a role in inspiring him to give back so generously to those less fortunate than himself.

Though Mel Gibson’s work on-screen speaks volumes about his talent as an actor—it’s clear that off-screen he remains just as dedicated to making a positive impact on society through his membership in the Freemasons.
