He did make a pretty good movie, Conspiracy Theory, that was almost as good as Enemy of the State, in terms of 'movies that make you think about things'. Maybe he did get affected by such a mindset and took the drinking-way-out, but the point I feel is that he isn't 100% wrong and that discussion should bring out where he's right and wrong. Yes, he was wrong with the drunk driving and being hostile to the police, but at the same time he's not the raving madman he's being cast as. The truth is somewhere in the middle, yet that discussion has been pre-empted. > But, unless Gibson comes out with some theory about world > politics (in a sober state of mind), it's probably a bit too far a stretch > to link this event with global domination by the Jews. No, I don't think he has any theory that hasn't already crossed our desks, but I do think his comment should have evoked something more than unilateral condemnation. And my mind discounts the 'global domination' thing as complete nonsense, but I do think we need to carefully examine the influence factor.
