Faith in Film with MEL GIBSON and Fr David Nix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2024
- Embark on a profound exploration of the human spirit with Mel Gibson as we unravel the threads of forgiveness and courage against the stark canvas of war in "Hacksaw Ridge." Our discussion shines a light on Desmond Doss's story, a pacifist combat medic whose unwavering faith and valor in World War II exemplify premeditated heroism and the complexities of forgiveness. As we delve into the Christian perspective of these themes during Lent, listeners will discover the reconciliatory power of forgiveness, echoing the virtues of fortitude and chastity that are as relevant today as they were in Doss's time.
As the world has grappled with recent events, convictions were tested, and the essence of "Hacksaw Ridge" emerged as a beacon of steadfastness amidst the chaos. Our conversation with Mel stretches beyond the silver screen to touch upon personal anecdotes and historical parallels, revealing how art can foreshadow societal upheavals and fortify resilience. Through a moving analysis of a key scene in the film, we uncover the universal struggle of familial forgiveness and the moral courage to stand by one's principles, inviting our audience to reflect on their own experiences during these unprecedented times.
In the emotional landscape of father-son relationships, blockbuster films often mirror the tumultuous journey toward understanding and reconciliation. These narratives, along with heartfelt stories shared in our session, highlight the transformative power of empathy and the healing that comes with forgiveness. As we conclude our conversation with Mel Gibson, we leave our listeners with anticipation for our next episode, promising a tapestry of film clips that will continue to inspire and challenge, honoring the enduring connection between faith and film.

God bless Mel Gibson.
Pray for everyone involved in the making of Passion of Christ 2. Spiritual Warfare is real. It is all extremely real.
🙏🙏🙏
Not gonna lie when I saw Mel Gibson in the title I fully expected it to just be clickbait, and got really surprised when I was actually there lol
me too😂
I wish Mel would make a movie akin to Kingdom of Heaven about the Crusades. It would be epic!
Love Mel, always have. Probably the most talented man in the cesspool of Hollywood. Last of the good guys type. God Bless you all.
I loved this discussion, sending a fist bump from Scotland ❤️
Mel Gibson is a great man.. God Bless him. One of the best Directors of all time.
It’s great that Mel Gibson took the time out to speak to you guys. A genuine man of faith who has made some great spiritually influenced movies. A great artist but more important than that a great man.
You guys and this channel is brilliant.❤️🙏.x
Thank you very much
Mel Gibson is awesome. Many prayers for him
Mel Gibson has been through so many terrible trials. We all need to pray for him! Hopefully, he will be able to avoid the honeypot traps in the future
When I say the Rosary, I have one bead for the person whom I am angry with, I know the same God that loves me also loves that person so I pray for him.
Oh please let the Passion sequel be coming out soon
Yes! I want to see the war in heaven and see Lucifer being cast into hell by St. Michael the Archangel. 😀👍
@@catholicarrows the proper name for the Devil is Satan. Lucifer is a mistranslation from the KJV which means light bearer not a proper noun.
In 2025.
@@revelation1215 His name was Lucifer when he fell, that was his name in heaven. Because Lucifer tried to imitate God (Holy Trinity), He punished him by splitting his personality in three, Satan, Lucifer and Beelzebub. Now that Lucifer is in hell, we refer to him by his fallen name which is Satan. He manifests during exorcisms in these 3 distinct personality types. God bless.
@@catholicarrows no sir, in the vulgate the word lucifer is used in several places to even refer to Christ or Our Lady. In Isaiah, the rendering is most often morning star. Protestants often site the erroneous KJV translation to show that we worship Lucifer. It’s best to call the devil by his eternal name, Satan.
Hacksaw Ridge is probably my favorite movie ever. Can't wait to let my boys watch it.
Mel is awesome very cool of him to join
Agreed
Crazy that you had Mel on!
When Mel talked about achieving forgiveness and how after a while resentment weighs you down and you say man I’m getting sick over this; it totally brought a smile from me. Mel wasn’t just answering a question, he was preaching.
Courage & forgiveness are two of the virtues we need most today.
What is heartbreaking to me is how, often, these hero military members and first responders who are willing to trade their lives for yours... often live bad lives without grace... I want to see them at the Big One. I want to make it to the Big One, myself. But that's going to take grace. Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us, sinners!
God is Good! Tell him thank you for all he has to go through to get these messages out to us in such a beautiful way. He is in my prayers. ❤🙏🏻❤️
Mel Gibson has always struck me as a highly intelligent man. Psychologically complex. Aren’t we all? God bless him.
Mr Mel, I loved you in Father Stu & The Patriot. God Bless you and your family sir.
Must watch Braveheart!
@Federico
Also Braveheart.
What a pleasant surprise. I love how Anthony starts talking and we lose Mel for a moment.
Ich habe Mel Gibson schon immer geliebt ❤❤❤
Beautiful. It is not a denomination thing. Human Beings and our Good Lord thing. 💋 Thank you so much
All hail Mel, Braveheart is my favorite along with The Passion!
The two greatest films of all time.
@@juann777 Totally 👍👋
Darn! I missed the live. I love Mel! My husband loved that movie Hacksaw Ridge.
To me, Forgiveness is the most important virtue possibly. Because in the only prayer Jesus gave us directly, we have a direct proportionality between how much we forgive others and how much we can expect to be forgiven by God. “…Forgive us our trespasses, AS we forgive those who’ve trespassed against us….”. So if we do not forgive, we cannot expect to be forgiven
Forgiveness Vespers is the 1st service of Lent; it happens on Sunday evening of the Sunday of Forgiveness. This Vespers begins Lent.
Congrats on getting Mel Gibson on your show
Forgiveness, including self-forgiveness, is one of the hardest virtues.
You the man, Mel!!
So crazy to me you guys got Mel. Prepare to have millions of views on this lol.
I read somewhere that there was a Japanese sniper who testified that he had Desmond in his sites three separate times and each time his rifle jammed.
What is your opinion on that?
My dream Catholic movie would be the life St Francis Xavier. Imagine 15th century India, Malacca, Macau, Japan being evangelised… the locations, the costumes, the languages……
Love that idea! I'm from Goa! The place his body lays and it would be amazing if something like that was made because people don't know the value of this great Z
Saint!!
My favorite Catholic history movie right now is “A Hidden Life” - here’s the trailer ruclips.net/video/qJXmdY4lVR0/видео.html
See “A Hidden Life” - great Catholic true life story
My pitch for a movie. The story of Anna Marie Schmidt from lighthouse Catholic media called "to hell and back". The contrast of her Christian faith and her trials and miracles under Nazi's and Communists is amazing.
Shot in the head as a teenager. Sent to concentration camp. Miracle rosary story. Nearly beaten to death, converts her Nazi tormentor. Thrown in a train car full of dead Cholera victims from the camps and rescued through the intervention of God
So great to see Mel chatting with you guys! I stopped this video so I can go watch the movie first.
Beautiful interview guys!🙌🏼🙏
wow. missed this. this is surreal. you guys have some reach.
😮 This is the one right here
... at least until the EMJ episode
EMJ has stated that the growth of the Latin Mass is the work of the Jews - he should be completely ignored
EMJ is the best!
I'll look for that one for sure.
Mel... Can't wait for the sequel to the greatest movie made.
I hope maybe once you've opened up a global audience to the deeper meanings of Jesus death and Resurrection perhaps you'd consider looking into making other Biblical epics like the story of the Machabees, Moses or Joseph ? Plenty stories to choose from . God bless everything you do and may He have St Michael watch your back.
God is always on time
I love how you guys are under 10k subs but still get big names as guests and in the live chats. God bless you all!
Wow congratulations on having Mel Gibson on! My Jewish uncle used to be one of his lawyers in Australia 🤣
The Man of God which came out in 2021 is a superb movie. I definitely recommend, it will inspire you to be a man of God.
I enjoyed that one. A little slow, but really good
Oh wow! Mel Gibson. This is incredible
Good blesses you
MEL AWESOME GIBSON
I would have asked him about Mad Max and if he would be willing to return to the series, and fulfill his role as an older Max Rockatansky🤔
The Mel Gibson 🤩
I have not seen "Hacksaw Ridge" yet...but I think it's a must. Great premiere!
It’s a great movie! Also highly recommend “A Hidden Life” ❤😢
How did you manage to get Mel on? You haven't even got 10k subs. Well done 👏
Awesome interview, guys!
I have to think that Mel has come to a point in his life that this Hollywood drama is over but the yearning to learn more about faithful heroes such as Fr. Stu, Padre Pio,JP2 are what drives him. Brings him back home with his Catholic foundation and he’s good with that as these later years of his life the ultimate goal is not of this world but the next. Great stuff!
Nice job guys!
Forgiving people is very good for your own soul. Hate and resentment burn the soul.
I watched this on Locals. Anthony was respectively quiet, for once during the conversation with Mel Gibson. I wished he asked just a couple of more questions, otherwise a good show regarding his movie Hacksaw Ridge, one of the great wat films.
Starstruck Anthony making me cackle!
Hacksaw Ridge was incredible! One of our favorite movies ever.
NO WAY
Yes way lol
Mr. Gibson: I'm a Trad, a big fan of yours and a willing individual to play a super bit part for free .... but for your movie. Please 😊. May the HOLY FAMILY bless you always.
How did you do that 😮
Epic
lets gooooooo
Great podcast
Thank you!
Speriamo che Mel gira presto la Resurrezione ..💯❤
8:48. Micheal mansoor comes to mind, he sacrificed himself to save his friends and died on saint Michael's feast day.
and he is a lebanese Christian.
✋ I once ran into a very talkative man that caught me off gaurd while on my way to the store. He seemed familiar and I didn't know from where. Later on that day I came to the conclusion that he was Mister Gibson's doppelganger lol Not a big movie or TV watcher for decades but I do remember Brave Heart and it was an excellent movie. Interesting type of laid-back interview with him. :) Take care
Even with his fame, he joins this discussion without tons of pretension.
Michael Monsoor was a seal and catholic. His story is pretty heroic.
and he was a Lebanese catholic .
Mr. Mel Gibson, how about one whole movie in Aramaic dedicated to the life of Jesus?? That would be epic.
Does he talk about the resurrection movie??
If you look up the word BASED you will find a picture of Mel Gibson
Yo Mel Gibson i first saw you in What Women Want!😂
Iconic voice, great man!
Not Lethal Weapon?
Correction: 46 books are in the Old Testament
Edged weapons were forbidden to clerics... thus Battling Bishops etc. carried maces. Monastic Fighting Orders were exempted but I am not sure about their Grand Masters.
More than 20 minutes in and Anthony is unusually silent.🤷♀️
Not by choice
There would surely be more Catholics if the Church taught as Jesus did. Like they used to!
Mel Gibson seems like such a great, highly intelligent, kind man. I wonder how Catholic guys actually survive in the sewer that is Hollywood.
Barely.
My thoughts exactly.
Wasn't Benjamin Martin reminded that wars aren't only waged by childless, single men" in The Patriot?
...meaning that we can all say we've got a good excuse not to do what needs to be done. Maybe we actually DO, but that's not the point!
Did Anthony repent from his boomer ways and use AI to “have” Mel on the show?
Hahaha 😂
Do you mean the same Hostage Rescue Team who shot a mother holding her baby? I can't share the admiration there; is there a different one maybe?
He also might have meant para-rescue jumpers
You go from getting sprayed by skunk to choppin it up with Mad Max and Fr Nix. Crazy. . .
Si guerra espiritual si existe mas importante la protección del Dios
mel Gibson physically will be on the show or what ?
Yes. We recorded with him tonight
@@user-pb9bx6wb6sI believe he’s a sedevecantist but not sure if there’s an actual group like the CMRI he follows.
I know he had a priest say mass everyday from his home for at least a period of time.
@2macca746 Glad to see you’re sinless yourself.
@@2macca746 I said I’m not sure if he still has the mass. Regardless…who ever stated he has no problem with his sin? Has he ever said he sees no problem with it?
No one knows what he goes through but my bet would be that it’s something that weighs heavy on him. It’s not our job to judge, point out the sin of others and run down fellow Catholics for their personal sins. If you’re actually concerned about his soul then shut up & pray for him.
@@user-pb9bx6wb6s I answered this but my response has disappeared 🤷
PLEASE PRAY FOR
THE RELEASE OF
JULIAN ASSANGE :
PRAY FOR THE
HIS WIFE :
PRAY FOR
THEIR CHILDREN :
THEY ARE SUFFERING GREATLY:
Passover fullfilled in Yeshuas first coming and Yeshua rose as First fruits from the dead. Jesus was Jewish and observed and took part in the appointed times in the temple his God the fathers house. Third temple will be rebuilt one day soon
Mel did nothing wrong!
Why you didn't talk about Passion sequel? Wasted opportunity
Mel might have specifically requested that no questions about the Passion sequel be asked?
Because it is in production and he does not want to discuss it yet.
@@avoidingbabylon In production as in being filmed?
@lukewilliams448 I’m not sure what stage they are at
@@avoidingbabylon They’ve been in pre production for years etc, saying they’re in production at this point is kind of meaningless, that is unless they are actually filming the scenes. Given the apparent 2025 release date, they might be filming, who knows.
Is Gibson still living with his 3rd baby mamma or has he moved on to a fourth?
Do we no longer help people live holy lives? Is it ok if a person is living in sin only because he makes movies based on the bible? Is this charity
You really know nothing of his personal life
The fact that this man is “married” to a girl half his age makes one think, what the hell is going on with Mel Gibson?! He should know better!
It’s a Hollywood thing I guess. As long as he’s not living in mortal sin.
If his marriage is not blessed through the Catholic Church then he will be - I’m not sure what his situation is. It feels to me that living in the Hollywood circle doesn’t give you a ticket to live in sin. Yes, his movies are incredible but I think we need to be careful with him. I do believe he’s sincere but his outward life doesn’t portray that. God bless
Yes, indeed we ARE miserable sinners. Mel Gibson is a public figure who advocates for the greater good yet lives a questionable lifestyle. No one questions him because they’re too scared, including me. I love what he creates in regards to movies but that doesn’t justify his lifestyle. What do I know? Nothing. I’m just very weary of him. At some point, he has to be accountable for his current situation - it can’t be excused as, “we are all sinners.”
Maybe that’s the reason why the sequel is taking so long.
Lots of sex appeal in this room between Mel and Rob!
Yes, the man was brave and saved lives. But his fellow soldiers who used weapons and have to live with the memory of taking another life in order to save lives are also heroes. If all men of good will were pacifists we would all be dead sadly. Thus the fallen world we live in. God bless~
Jesus was never a pacifist that’s ridiculous please Mel Gibson don’t make Jesus as a pacifist on your movies don’t make the same mistake they are making on this Netflix series Chosen.. that’s not a joke guys.. Jesus was not a pacifist at all!
But we cannot interpret the actions of Jesus as God incarnate through our own fallen lens. It is true that Jesus said those who live by the sword die by the sword and that the church has always taught that you have a right or even a duty to defend yourself or your country. But Jesus also valued peacemakers.
@@revelation1215 Valuing peace and being a peacemaker is not the same has being a pacifist.
Mel, the movies are great, but in love and Catholic charity, what are you doing with your personal life? For the love of God, amend your ways and mend your family before it is too late. Christ was not a pacifist. He was GOD and came to die. He is merciful but that nercy will turn to Duviju une judges rr
chastity? lol
This must be the lowest point in Mel Gibson's career.
;)
Haha, savage
Amazing you guys got the road warrior! 😁
Reviewing Catholic / Faith movies!?!?
Please do “A Hidden Life” (2020)!
ruclips.net/video/qJXmdY4lVR0/видео.html
Saw this after all the mandates and sacrifices… so beautifully done! When the world is against you - even the church - will you preserve on principle and risk loosing everything!?!
