Reply #21: Gibson should flip the critics the bird

[BigMcLargehuge]

He's paying, he's directing, he's producing...

To me it's like someone (a stranger even) telling me one of my short stories is unfit for publication because they don't like the content. And doing so before I've even finished typing it out.

Screw them, it's art. Let Gibson make his movie, then to protest, don't see it. Simple.

People take this shit waaaaaaaaaaaay to seriously.

Remember "Piss Christ"? I watched Bill Moyers interview a popular art historian Nun (whose name escapes me at the moment) about that piece of "offensive" art. She defended both the piece and the artists right to create and display it. Why? Because all art evokes emotion, that's what it is supposed to do and "Piss Christ" did that.

Did she like the piece? Not really. Did she appreciate the piece as art? Yes.
