Mel Gibson has starred in or directed numerous historical epics, but Gibson's period movies share a common criticism of not being very accurate.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Three of Mel Gibson's big historical blockbusters share one major criticism. Outside of his roles in action movies like the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon franchises, Mel Gibson has also ventured into screenwriting and directing, with historical epics being a significant genre in both facets of his career.
One such example is Gibson's highly controversial 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ, which was polarizing for numerous reasons, including its extremely violent depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus. Meanwhile, several of Gibson's other historical movies have also been criticized despite their box office success and accolades, namely Braveheart, The Patriot, and Apocalypto. Curiously, one common thread of criticism can be seen in all three movies.
Directed by Roland Emmerich, The Patriot followed Gibson as Colonel Benjamin Martin with the movie set during the American Revolution, but the film's depiction of the colonist's revolt from the British Empire has been criticized for its historical shoddiness.
Even Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge Had Inaccuracies, But It Wasn't As Criticized Gibson made a return to directing with the 2016 World War II movie Hacksaw Ridge, focusing on the story of pacifist combat medic Desmond Doss and his heroism in saving 75 wounded soldiers in battle.
That might boil down to Hacksaw Ridge's factual inaccuracies being less numerous than Gibson's other historical movies. Doss had previously declined offers to turn his story into a movie due to an insistence upon any adaptation sticking to the facts. Moreover, Doss's son Desmond Doss Jr. also commented that Gibson generally adhered to the essence of Doss's story, even as Hacksaw Ridge changed some aspects of Doss's life.
