Quote:Gibson would take the Roman side in my opinion. Braveheart/The Patriot revealed a bit of his anti-British sentiment.
Anti-English, more accurately. The Romans would be the English in this equation - Imperialist Oppressors, with the 'celtic' Britons (ie Scots/Irish) as the freedom-loving rebels. The story virtually writes itself. Braveheart with chariots. One Woman. Stands Up. Against an Empire...
I know it's a matter of opinion, but I don't really care how commercially successful a film is. Hall Pass was a hit. Doesn't make it any good. :wink:
