We've seen Mel Gibson loony before (in Conspiracy Theory) and he was wonderful, if not all the more charming. Why do we have a weakness for unstable people? Is it the urge to fix them up? Is it the fact that said loony people are too busy being loony to notice our own flaws that's why we take them in, confident we will be undetected?
Anyway.
Here's the trailer to the Jodie Foster-directed comedy-drama The Beaver shown in theaters last May 2011. Here Mel Gibson (playing Walter Black) is once again out of sorts and depressed--no conspiracy involved though. Just his wife kicking him out, and his toy company steadily falling in shambles. Then he stumbles upon a beaver hand puppet in a dumpster, puts it on, and starts talking to himself and later to everyone else through the gruffy-voiced puppet and in the process gets himself back on track.
Nothing like a good beaver hand puppet to refresh your mind and purge your demons.
Thankfully, Walter does not to start a ventriloquist act with his new beaver toy, for that would be creepy. But he gets the beaver puppet talking all the same, his own mouth visibly forming the words with no attempt to throw his voice whatsoever. So the "sane" people are faced with a dilemma: do they insist it's Walter they're talking to, or do they play along? I say we play along.
Anyway.
The Beaver will have a limited release again starting August 10 at Ayala Cinemas (Glorietta, Trinoma, Greenbelt).
