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.
Makes me think of Tár where the conductor

ends up conducting a video game music symphony overseas at the end
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
It's almost like "cancel culture" isn't really how the world works
He lost half of this net worth before coming back, I think it did work until the industry let him back in and people forgot (or till the republicans picked anti-woke actors to support in Hollywood).

How do they have so much energy? Man filed for divorce at 93 years old
Copious amounts of alcohol and cocaine.
And viagra.
I don't know what to believe anymore, now the Jews did 911? Wasn't it Bush?
It was the Saudis. Apparently, the Jewish Saudis.
Mel Gibson is just a plantation owner's greatgrandson from Westchester?
Oh, he's cancelled. His career crashed, and burned. Hard.
Anon learns about Hollywood
It's because Danny Glover and him saved us from some real bad dudes back in the day.
Now he's too old for this shit
"Little sumbitch's gonna be a handful."
I'm too old for this shit
He got temp banned, not perma-banned, because bad words and opinions can change, apologies can be made. It's fixable.
Whether or not he was temp-cancelled or perma-cancelled, Apocalypto is a fucking masterpiece
Apocalypto is my biggest case for using death of the author to enjoy creative works. I don't like the guy, but that movie is a must-watch.
There’s no greater mismatch of internal and external beauty in my mind than Braveheart-era Mel Gibson. I’m straight up ashamed of how handsome I find him. The hatred did not age him well, however, which is a relief.
Somehow, we were allowed to watch this movie in 8th grade (2008).
For a second I thought you meant that you watched Hacksaw Ridge in class.
I must be confused, because apparently that movie actually came out in 2016.
Isn't he basically not even allowed to say anything that even rhymes with Mad Max?
Ahhh ... Clever lawyers. Put in a clause to prevent an Aussie from using rhyming slang.
For real? Why? What happened??
He played Mad Max, but after it came out he was racist, the IP Holders put the movie franchise on hold for decades and when it came back it was largely about Furiosa instead of Max himself and the actor was changed. With director commentary basically saying "We kept Gibson the fuck away from this."
I too find it weird... some comedians can make jokes about Jews and people laugh. Others do it and get canceled.
He wasn't laughing with Jews about the overbearing kindness of their mothers. If you say the quiet part out loud then you're of little use in sustaining and increasing profits. It's easier to burn witches than to acknowledge the quiet part said out loud.
This isn't rocket science. It's apathy, an incarnation of MLK's white moderate.
He was inoculated before the wave of cancelations hit. Like chicken pox.
