Exclusive: Mel Gibson Talks About the Passion
Mar 1 2004 by Andy Grainger
After the opening of The Passion of Christ, Mel Gibson spoke to DeadBrain about his new film...actually, he would only give interviews to Christian organizations, so we hid behind a curtain while he spoke to such groups as 'Our Lady of the Disembowelment' and 'Skinheads for Jesus'...
"Right...well straight off I'd like to thank all the Bible Belters for putting asses in seats all over this country. I am going to make a fortune, no worries.
"Now, in answer to your questions, No! There is no anti-Semitism in this film! I used swarthy hook-nosed hairballs to play Jews because this is a historical film. That's what they look like. I'm not some religious fanatic. I mean, we took out the scene where God Himself curses their descendants for all time for brutally murdering Our Lord Jesus like cowardly animals, didn't we? And the one where they drank baby's blood and ate the Saviour's heart. What do these people want?
"Eh? No, the satanic children and Devil Whore aren't in the Bible, but we felt that the Easter Story needed some bone-chilling horror to balance out the incessant gore. Anyway, I made up tons of stuff in Braveheart and The Patriot. History has too many gray, dull areas.
"No, I'm going to start filming my new movie next month. No rest for the wicked! It'll be another historical piece, where I play a simple man of the people who is forced to defend his country against swarthy hook-nosed enemies. It'll be called The Crusades...Payback for ChristKillers.
"Okay, that's it folks! There are some signed still photos of the movie, along with some pamphlets from my new church about the Jewish-Masonic Conspiracy to rule the world. They're on that table by the red curtain on your left...hey, is someone back there? Security!
