    He was cancelled, and was out of the industry for years.

    He then kissed the ring, did the mea culpa, and got lucky making a pacifist WW2 movie. If that film tanked, or he didn’t kiss all of the asses, he’d still be out of business.

      The reality is that being “cancelled” isn’t a huge deal when you’re already one of the economic elite. He didn’t even do a mea culpa, he just came back to the party and shrugged.

        Not even the economic elite, just A list of some description.

        Once your a big name you might have to take less money but someone somewhere will think you are a value proposition eventually.

      It’s a pretty decent film, if a little heavy on the religious message.

        I thought the religious part wasn’t forced or strange considering the real story.

        I disagree. Yes, the protaganist had religous motivations for his actions, but that doesn’t mean the film itself has a religous message.

          All of his movies are religious propaganda. Sometimes propaganda just happens to have a point.

        I thought my friend had tricked me into watching a romance movie up until they got on the ridge and a dude got cut in half with bullets. I was not expecting that
