Forgiving is not easy. In many cases, it requires effort if the damage that a person has caused is very great. It takes a lot of courage to choose forgiveness, But many religions, philosophies and ideologies push people to believe in second chances. However, other sectors of society are not in favor of redemption. Recently, Andrew Garfield has shown which side he is on.
The leading actor of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) or A reason to live (2017) is clear: He does affirm that people can change. He demonstrated this by talking about Mel Gibson in an interview for People: “He has carried out a beautiful healing process. And thank God, because he is a spectacular director and I think he deserves to make movies. “He has the right to tell stories because he has a very compassionate heart.”
The filmmaker and performer faced many problems derived from his alcoholism between 2005 and 2011. During that time he was accused of verbally and physically harassing his girlfriend, also abusing a police officer, uttering several racist insults and accusing Jews of being responsible. of various conflicts. Andrew Garfield himself is Jewish, but he prefers to forgive rather than continue labeling Gibson as an anti-Semite, as a large part of public opinion has done repeatedly.
They both worked together on To a man (2016), film that got six Oscar nominations. But this was the only great success of Mel Gibson from Apocalypto (2006). He has never completely stopped his film career, But it has suffered many ups and downs. Even so, this has not stopped him from obtaining financing for the sequel to The passion of Christ, of which we recently had new news.
“He’s the kind of director who comes out from behind the monitor with moist eyes. You knew when it was right and when it wasn’t, I really trusted him. And he’s a visceral storyteller, he can’t help but feel everything. “He’s a really empathetic guy,” added Andrew Garfield in the interview.
“I have learned that everyone can be cured. People can change and get help. We all deserve respect and second, third, fourth and fifth chances. “None of us are perfect,” declared the actor, who we will soon see alongside Florence Pugh in Live in the moment, a film that will arrive in Spain on January 3.
