Mel Gibson is a master a king of cinematography of our generation ! No one can ever deny that!
that's not completely truth if he went back on the media circuit apologizing for his past along with an amazing film. People would more likely or not cast him back in movies.
@timmay he did say something about black people.
TMAXXPUNISHER
What the fuck is that logic? This is still fucking racist.
lol, yeah i guess it is.
You are a complete Asshat.. Just thought I would be the one to let you know.
Mel Gibson was awesome to work with on Hacksaw Ridge. His hands on / hard working approach lifted the whole crew. Mel is one of the best ever Directors. This film will be HUGE for him.

Nice
For the amount of years he has been around, add his Crazy/nutty things. Look at his work it comes down to he thinks he is better than what he is. Sure he has done some killer works... But He is not Jesus in any way.
If he didn't do something stupid while drunk I would be concerned. How does that saying go? Someone with a clean house has something to hide? Something like that.
Yes sir! Great actor and director
These are the movies that need support! Not the complete garbage Hollywood throws at us. I look forward to this film.
agree
Agree!
Yep.
+Trialbystone17 no doubt the thin red line was a masterpiece but I think hacksaw ridge will also be a great movie
joe shmow I could torrent this but I will go out to watch it. Haven't been to a movie in five years
I'm just thrilled that he's back. There was talk of him making a Viking movie, I hope that he does because it'd be totally awesome.
he actually studied norse mythology when he was young.
+Runulfr Rauði.
So did I, that's why I'd love his take on it so much because I know he'd do the Norsemen justice.
sigthor2015 same as i do. total nerd about our history. consentrate most about the runes now though. got books from 1799 about runes and runestones. hope he make the movie. but his dream is to let everyone speak "norrøn", but it,s not that many who knows the language. (Hel, i have a "norrøn grammar" book..... it,s like a mix of Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish, German, Japanese and Klingon!" ;-) )
I don't think he'll make it anymore because they made it a tv series too bad :(
+Belmont Leon.
There's no reason to believe that. Mel's take on the subject would be completely unique, and only the way that he could do it, because of course it's him.
Mel Gibson is a legend and a master artist of cinema.
lol @ Steven seagull Avatar! 😂
Well stated Sir! Indeed a Legend!
YES Hollywood lucky to have him. He's real
@@karenaandreasen7029 also racist
@@firstlast2632 well if u dive deeper u will see more of why he went off on tyrating rant. It does not exuse the behavior. His involvement with Hollywood things he knows would push anyone over the edge
I hope all the fans show up on the opening weekend for Gibson. His talent is badly needed in Hollywood.
I'm going to go i hate the Zionist jews i stand with him.
You're already supporting the oppression of Tibetans by posessing so many things made in China, and financing American imperialism and drone strikes by being on this site. I don't think watching a movie made by Mel Gibson will add much to your sins.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BE STANDING NEXT TO YOU WHEN GOD ASKS YOU ABOUT YOUR HATRED TOWARD THE JEWS......
Hollywood can't withstand the fire this great filmmaker is carrying on his inside. Glad he is back.
Tecumseh Sherman stfu because you are s jew
It was one of the best movies I've ever seen...
Bigbe stats
Same
It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen...
@@robfox5670 you must be crazy
@@robfox5670 nobody believes you so you're wasting your time. Just thought you should know.
Is this Marvel or DC?
Thank God, for a long time coming, finally a breeze of fresh air in Hollywood.
I'd wanna see a Mel Gibson Marvel movie! He's an excellent storyteller
Yes, I am very weary of the super hero movies which I quit going to see after the Spiderman movies.
James Dunn There are still a LOT of movies made for adults audiences and mature tastes. Unfortunately, those don't get publicity and when you look at the box office, they don't get much box office. So, naturally, people don't go see it. The box office is in disarray now.
I have not seen a superhero movie since in many years, but that's only because there are so many great (non-superhero) films worldwide, from the French, Dutch, Germans, Koreans, etc.
denniszenanywhere only Marvel makes good superhero films. you should watch some.
Read a book about Desmond Doss when I was a kid - good movie or bad, the man deserves every single minute of that applause.
Hacksaw Ridge is a masterpiece. I would've given Mel Gibson or anyone in that movie a standing ovation. It is beautiful, real, original, art, and outstanding
Mr. Gibson has always had my respect. People need to remember he's just as human as the rest of us. We all mess up. Nobody's perfect. If he's not worthy of forgiveness then none of us are.
Exactly
I saw an advanced screening of this, absolute masterpiece. First time I teared up in a theater in a long time. Whole room was teary-eyed
This man did not run away to Canada like some Americans did to avoid their military service. He joined and served with honor. Not everyone is cut out to carry a gun and use it. He kept true to his beliefs but still helped to keep America and the rest of the free world free. We all can learn a lot from the way he conducted his life.
Are you talking about the role or Mel Gibson?
jajaja
kickyerass
Wtf is your problem? I only asked a simple question. Get your pills and stfu.
*****
Ali is dead. So every living person is the opposite of him technically.
To me, this movie sounds like US propaganda. North Korea is not the only country that brainwashes its citizens.
OMG...I don't really cry in movies but this one like the Passion, i was crying throughout especially the last part. after the movie, people started clapping. it was amazing. #thankyouGod
A must see film. To quote Mel Gibson "True heroes don't wear spandex".
Actually he says "Real superhero, don't wear spandex."
And "I make the ultimate superhero film, in Passion of the Christ."
If this proves anything, it's that the ability of the mainstream media to dictate who and who isn't a persona non grata is slipping. Their control of public opinion is is coming to an end and it is delightful to watch it all collapse. Talent will always shine through the bullshit. Bravo Mel, happy for you man.
Barny Fraggles Hollywood is transitioning slowly from propaganda machine to art form.
Yeah, because all these super hero blockbusters aren't filled with propaganda.. Name me 3 movies from 2016 you consider art.
whats all this contreversy? im so out of the loop with this whole thing whats going on.
@@jeffreyamazing7043 I can name you another Mel Gibson movie. The Professor and the Madman.
This didn't age well
No one is perfect. I hope Mel is back as he is one hell of a talent.
Movie of the Year
And then Dunkirk next year which will be one of the best movies of all time. Directed by Nolan (interstellar, inception, dark knight trilogy) with tom hardy and cilian murphy, I'm so excited for it.
DEFINITIVELY.
Counting the days to watch this...new MASTER PIECE of Mel Gibson...November 4 in the US?...and o don't really know exactly when is going to be realeased in Chile....but days are aternal!!!!!!!!!
...guys!!,and Teresa Palmer....direct to the Oscars 2017!!!!!!...and i guess you'll get MORE THAN ONE STAR THERE!!...YOU DESERVE IT AND MORE!!!!!.....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE!!!!
Kyle Monks new Nolan movies aren't good honestly
Yes they are. Interstellar was a masterpiece.
Lee McQueen interstellar sucked!
I loved Hacksaw ridge, the movie deserved awards that year.
Mr Mel Gibson will definitely get his respect back that he deserves after this.
ttarkA113 yes unfortunately... but we've all made mistakes in our lives and friends and families have forgiven us... unfortunately for mr gibson..hes a heavyweight in the entertainment industry and hes still getting crucified for his drunken behavior.
As long as he using a lot of Jewish cast, Jewish crew, Jewish producer, and pro Jewish themes movies he will just fine.
Lol, I'm peaceful person. I said that not in antisemitic way. Up to them to put label on me the way they want. I don't give a sh*t.
No he definitely doesn't
Not in Hollywood he won't...... damage is done......
Nice to see Mel Gibson back on track, doing what he doe's best making movies. Looking forward to seeing the movie
...AND STARRING PAL...AND STARRING MOVIES...Blood Father is AN EXCELLENT AND ATOMIC COME BACK by Mel as the GHREAT ACTOR HE IS...YET WITH 60!!.,IS ABLE TO COMPETE WITH THE BEST PRETTY YOUNGEST TODAY!!....DONT UNDERPRECIATE THAT......anyway....counting the eternal October days to watch this MASTER PIECE in Chile!!....HOPE SOON!!!!!!...DAYS AND HOURS ARE ATERNAL!!!!
Great to have Mel back, he is a fantastic director and storyteller.
I only hope we have many more projects from Mel in the next decade, his talent for historical epic films is unmatched.
The fact that it is based on a true story makes it so heartwarming
This movie was incredible. Best war movie I've seen in years.
Bull
Every second of the battle-scenes are perfection, so much work has been put down to make the scenes as realistic as possible, so many great details. Back in 1998 I was blown away by the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan. But the battle scenes in Hacksaw Ridge even surpass that. Nothing were missing, every grotesque detail where there and the cameras caught it all up. Perhaps this was exactly how it was. The first battle-scene lasted more than 10 minutes. I wonder how long time it took to make all this, putting together all the effects. We see people get hit by bullets or grenades, fly through the air while limbs were torn apart and bodies land right in front of the camera with dead eyes and crushed sculls. I am amazed it's even possible to make this! I love he included Desmond Doss childhood and youth, and falling in love with that beautiful girl. All this was necessary and a good build up before the battles begun. This film is really a masterpiece made by a true genius: Mel Gibson. He deserve many Oscars for this film, Golden Globe, Golden palm and even a Congressional Medal of Honor for brilliant directing!
getting a standing ovation, is a better reward then a statue in my mind..Mel gibson is the man, and he has always been the man. Never stopped been a fan of his.
For those curious, Desmond Doss was a Seventh-Day Adventist, with faith like that, I'm not surprised. SDAs are God-fearing folk.
Mel is a legend!
Has anyone ever had to move a totally limp body? I worked as a CNA for a while and it's draining after a few minutes, its almost impossible without help. I'm a strong guy. How this man moved even 1 full grown man, let alone 75, is nothing short of a miracle. Screw that. It IS a miracle.
Damn right it deserved an ovation it got one at my theater.
Just the trailer makes you cry.
The clips from the movie looks insanely good.
Hacksaw Ridge looks INCREDIBLE!!!!!
This movie was incredibly unbelievable and magical.
THE GENIUS IS BACK!!! And is about time...
WE LOVEEE YOU MEL!!!!
What a LEGEND !!!
Hacksaw Ridge is One of The Top 5 Movies I have ever seen In my entire life. It's is a Must Watch. I cried a little bit during the Movie. It felt so real. I can't even comprehend that This person was real during the War. The Real Desmond Doss passed away in 2006. During the events in WWII, He had saved 75 people without even bearing any arms. This is probably the Greatest Hero to ever walk on earth imo. #RIPDesmondT.Doss
Mel Gibson needs to make a movie about king David
a movie bout a jew lol
He would have done a better job remaking the Ben Hur movie, that's for sure.
Right ? With Mel Gibson directing it , it would also be a masterpiece! Gods and Kings, and Noah sucked badly !!!!
Yesssss all for it! the netherlands is with it
I want him to make a movie about the wars between the Romans and Dacians, about the great king DECEBAL. I fight between good and evil, between small and huge until the ultimate sacrifice to save his people :)).
Haven't seen Gibson's movie yet, but so glad he made it. Prompted me to watch the Desmond Doss documentary "The Conscientious Objector" and it was one of the best I've ever seen. What a great story, so glad Gibson brought it to the silver screen.
Brilliant film. Privilege to have seen it and learn a piece about such a remarkable man.
this move had more heart and life than any movie i've seen in the last five years
Wow what a movie, i was deeply moved by the film... A true super hero Desmon Doss.
One of the best movies in the history of movies....absolutely EPIC! This man has a true gift....
Totally incredible and inspirational movie. Just WOW!
Saw it tonight with my dad. It was absolutely amazing!
"Please lord... help me get one more... help me get one more"- Desmond T. Doss literally best quote ever
I read the book at the same time my son read it, about 12 years ago, if the movie comes close I don't know how people will get through it without crying.
This film is absolutely wonderful and amazing. Could watch it again and again.
One of the rare movies that I will be going to see. Desmond Doss was a family friend of my family and I grew up watching him work in the community. Such an unassuming man. Thank you Mel Gibson. Glad to see you back and Hacksaw Ridge.
Same here. I haven't been to a movie theater in about 14 years, but I will be going to see this. They told us stories about the things he did when I was in the military. We have heroes in the US, men like Jack Hinson who fought for the things they believed and what was right. Desmond Doss was not just a great US hero, he was one of the greatest heroes in recorded history. I do not support his religious stance, I don't believe in what he believed and I was a shooter, but I have the utmost respect for any man who refuses to sacrifice his principles and has no fear.
This movie was beautiful and was in the human nature of the time period. There is nothing like using up every bit of human will and being carried by faith somehow to allow you to go further, and then further still.
"I'm gonna get you home."
(Sheds an emotional tear)
The offtime for Gibson did him well! Well played sir! This is great!
Great movie. Gibson is great on, behind and writing for the camera. His work is very well done.
This will be absolute quality and will clean up everything at the academy awards. the friggin trailer had me in bits .
Well deserved.
This movie is amazing.
Jew hating or not he's a talented actor. His personal views should not prohibit him from sharing his talent. If you think otherwise go ahead and establish a thought police already
Hes not hating jews he hate jews who are real sionist.. Who are responsible for the most problems in this world.
Mel gibson is not the only who is aware of sionist problem.. In america and around the world there are millions of jews who are anti sionist.
That’s like saying hitler is a great leader the fact that he was an animal shouldn’t prohibit him from doing so
one of the best movies i have ever seen.....amazing
I can admit that the whole audience in an icelandic cinema here in Reykjavik applauded for about 5 minutes or more right after that movie. For me it's the best anti war movie I've ever watched!
i'm sure if this an anti war movie, i think it's just a story of a religious man. besides, wars happen whether we want to it or not so the term "anti-war" does not make a lot of sense to me. nobody in their sane mind would like war to happen (i think) but sometimes it is necessary to protect the ppl we love, so what exactly does being against something out of our control mean? Hope u get what i mean by this
First blood father and than hacksaw ridge. Gibson just acted in than directed two of the best films of the year! He has to be super blessed with talent.
Mel is the Man! Freeeeedooommm!
A filmmaker in the industry not the "industry's filmmaker" one man that will never be a puppet. BRAVE HEART.
I've seen this movovie twice... it was amazing; and now I'm waiting for the Resurrection movie, that is going to be the greatest film of history, it is comming out in 2020.
well done!!! this movie makes me cry..so touching
We wasted 10 years of amazing talent all over one fucking mistake.
You're absolutely right. I think it's good he's off the liquor for 10 years. He just couldn't handle his drink which made him say bad things.
Exactly...
SavingPrivateBob No mistake at all
SavingPrivateBob what mistake are you talking about ?
Yeah, and even worse. A mistake of his personal life that has nothing to do with his life as filmmaking man.
Hacksaw Ridge is absolutely one of the most amazingly awesome movies ever made, it's truly epic and I wanted to applaud when i got through watching it too...seriously this movie does deserve an Oscar, as well as Mel Gibson for his wonderful directing and Andrew Garfield for his amazing portrayal of Desmond Doss....if u haven't seen the movie u really should
the movie was AMAZING.
just seen this film. ABSOLOUTLY EPIC !!
Really looking forward 🙂
This is the only movie I have seen at the cinema where I stood at the end of the picture and applauded. One for the film, yes but more so for the heroism. Well done Desmond Doss.
Brilliant 😀
Best actor best director. What a legend 👏👏
I can't fucking wait to see this film!
Truly incredible story
Good for Mel
No movie will ever surpass the sheer brilliance of Braveheart! An epic saga that you can watch over and over yet it never gets old and one of thee greatest films in cinematic history.
he's just a better storyteller than Clint Eastwood as a filmmaker. there's never YET a movie helmed by Gibson that's boring or even has any boring part. Eastwood's on the other hand...even Unforgiven's got a few scenes i can pick out as unnecessarily too slow.
I’ve only seen two Mel Gibson directed films ( Braveheart and Hacksaw Ridge) and I think their both better then anything Eastwood has done nothing against Eastwood.
I went into a cinema, paid full tickets for Braveheart for 27 times. Never felt any regret. Why? Because i knew i was witnessing the history. By today it remains the greatest movie ever made.
This is very sad
my baby gibson is back agaiiiin 😍😍😍
While we tend to use the word "hero" very loosely in these days, THIS man is a TRUE hero. What he did was nothing short of incredible and a miracle in itself.
One of the all time greatest movies ever made, Desmond Doss was a wonderful person and a true hero, I thank Mel Gibson for making this amazing movie and Andrew Garfield for portraying Mr. Doss:) if u haven’t seen this movie I highly recommend it
Absolutely a must watch, great movie and even greater story
Mel you truly are the man of all men in Hollywood. There is absolutrly no one in Hollywood who comes close
Got the chills from that Braveheart clip...lasting 20 seconds and counting. Such an amazing film.
Best movie ever. God Bless.
well deserved the movie was just gold Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors and directors i grow up with the movies Lethal Weapon
It has joined my list of favorite war movies :D and I am pretty big on story, especially true stories
Gibson has the gift of superb story telling. so engaging.
i'm pleasantly surprised at how good mel is as a director. As good as the other top directors in hollywood!
Gibson is a legend
i was just going to watch it because of luke bracey he is part of the reason , but now i want to see this movie because it looks like a great movie.
I always love Gibson movies
What what about 'The Passion of the Christ'? In Hollywood you get black balled for making anything Christian and speaking truth. Gibson at least has the balls to do great films. I won't watch 90% the crap coming out of Hollywood today.
Believing in magic stopped being cool a long time ago. It's the era of enlightenment. Wake up!
Making anything Christian and speaking truth is the ultimate contradiction
Areus White
Illuminati propaganda. Foolishness!
Alexander Walker
At least the Bible is scientifically, historically accurate, and does not contradiction itself. If you object to my statement then you have not taken the time to understand it.
What??? Accurate. That's a real funny joke
Just saw the film.its amazing!
Mel Gibson is such a loveable character in whatever movies he plays in. I especially love him in Ransom, (playing the desperate renegade father) Braveheart and The Patriot. and Maverick. (or whatever that movie is where someone steals 70,000 from him and he kills a bunch of people to get it back. Get the Gringo was good too. Anyway, Mel is the man, what an amazing director too! Loved the Passion of Christ and Apacolypto
***** ionut serban How about fuck both of you with your shit adds, I watch my movies threw my own bootleg sites I already saw Hacksaw.
John D Payback, that 70,000 grand was Payback. Awesomw movie. Maverick is cool too :)
Thank-you Mel Gibson for showing the World another Hero. Desmond Doss followed a Higher Power. We all should
Braveheart
Hacksaw Ridge
The Passion of the Christ
Apocalypto
Only need 2 ingredients for a Masterpiece
1. Mel Gibson
2. Rated R
When I went to see this film everyone applauded at the end of it. Great movie, go see it.
And then next year we will have Dunkirk a battle that took place in the European theater
By Christopher Nolan another legendary director! Mel and Nolan are my favorite directors ever !
all we need now is a great Stalingrad movie about the russians
the Germans made one in 1993. awsome movie. the Russians made one in 2013. both are good. but the German one is the best one.
Runulfr Rauði neither are worthy in my opinion, we need a big budget oscar worthy movie about Stalingrad from the russian perspective, the german and russian one are okay but dont live up to the battle in my opinion
geromino97 true. but the German is the best we got for now. as you, i hope it comes one who blow them both away. (including "Enemy at the gates.")
He deserves the accolades. He is an extremely gifted storyteller and movie maker.
