vulgar and nasty movies, which also feature this prejudice, are additionally replete with the cheapest caricatures of the English. Braveheart and The Patriot are two of the most laughable historical films ever made. (Englishmen don’t form picket lines outside movie theaters when “stereotyped,” but still.) He has told interviewers that his wife, the mother of his children, is going to hell because she subscribes to the wrong Christian sect (a view that he justifies as “a pronouncement from the chair”). And it has been obvious for some time to the most meager intelligence that he is sick to his empty core with Jew-hatred….

‘make one wonder if he has some kind of subliminal or “unaddressed” problem’: oh dear, the old “he must be a secret poof” attack.
Arguing on those lines, he must also be a secret Jew. Bah! Lazy, silly codswallop. -
I’m a little confused by all the fuss over this story. Gibson made only two remarks, both of which are loathsome but not especially so. You can hear similar things said in a bar. He can’t be blamed for what the ME did to his movie. If I remember correctly, most surveys at the time showed that there was no upswing in anti-semitic attitudes after viewing the movie.
Hitchens is right about one thing: It’s annoying that his popularity far exceeds his talent. But that can be said about most people in Hollywood, or the entertainment industry in general.
Nobody, including Hitchens, got this upset about Mearsheimer and Walt.
