Why You Should See ‘Flight Risk’: Setting up ‘The Resurrection’ in all its Book of Revelation glory

As of this writing, you can still see the new Mel Gibson movie, Flight Risk, in the movie theater, which you should do.  It’s such a good movie that you should not finish reading this before you do, you should rush to see it while you still can.  I’m sure the movie will be on streaming services soon, but this is one of those movies that is a point in history and is a bridge to other great things.  And we should all support a movie like this by going to the theater to see it because there is a bigger picture coming together here.  I personally love Mel Gibson.  I understand Mel Gibson.  And I think, as a filmmaker, he is one of the best there will ever be.  Ironically, back in my high school days when Mel Gibson was on his way to being considered by women to be the sexiest man alive, I had several teachers who wanted to date me as an underage opportunity because I reminded them of Mel Gibson, with that crazy kind of energy that was about to blow apart in a moment’s notice.  Those similarities might have been actual from a visual appearance and aspects of personality, but unlike Mel Gibson, I didn’t drink, smoke or even curse.  But I was always a fan of him in serious movies like The Bounty, The River, the Lethal Weapon movies, and Bird on a Wire with Goldie Hawn.  Mel Gibson was at the top of Hollywood society until he directed The Passion, which took the world by storm.  And Hollywood went into a shock.  Their wild playboy and king of the box office had turned against them with a dramatically Christian movie that cut to the core of all human corruption, and it made them angry.  And they cut Mel Gibson from the business from that day on.  Gibson is a great actor in front of the camera, but he’s even better as a director.  After The Passion, he directed Apocalypto, one of my favorite movies ever.  But by then, Hollywood essentially ran Gibson out of Hollywood until very recently.

But Mel Gibson didn’t just go away; he has been silently plotting to take on evil as he sees it in the background for the last twenty years.  He has appeared in a few movies here and there and directed a few as well, but he has only done enough to stay relevant in the business so that he could direct his long-thought-of masterpiece, a sequel to The Passion, called The Resurrection of Christ.  I think it will be the Braveheart of Christian films and that when it comes out, probably for Easter of 2027, the world will change because of it, and we want some of these movie theaters to still be open for that theatrical experience.  With Trump back in the White House and appointing Mel Gibson to be an ambassador of the Administration in Hollywood, fate has changed in Mel Gibson’s favor, and he will take his shot to make his long-dreamed-up masterpiece.  And this movie, Flight Risk, was done to open the door for the business side of making that movie, which will start shooting with many of the original actors in 2025.  The way the movie business works is you have to make studios money along with some investors, and Mel Gibson had to put some money in some people’s pockets to advance The Resurrection forward.  Hollywood will completely melt down over this movie, but some people are happy to go against the grain and invest in a project like The Resurrection, so long as they know that Mel Gibson still has the goods and can pull it off.  That is what Flight Risk is, and it’s a movie that is unusually brilliant and bold. 

What’s impressive about Flight Risk is that it’s a movie about high crimes and corruption at the top of our social structure, and yes, all the bad guys get it in the end.  However, the movie has only three actors, and the drama takes place on a little prop plane flying across Alaska over endless mountains. Most of what drives the narrative are people talking on a cell phone or airplane radio.  There are a few other people at the beginning and end of the movie, but it’s a very Hitchcock-like experiment in minimalism.  Mel Gibson is showing off his narrative ability with a camera by doing what few other people would ever dare to do in professional entertainment.  The special effects aren’t excellent.  There is no booming soundtrack.  There are no technical awards for outstanding achievements in film.  It’s just three people in an airplane flying over mountains for most of an hour and a half, and it is very compelling.  Mark Walberg stars in the movie, but otherwise, these people do not inspire people to go to the movies.  Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace are the real stars of the film.  Otherwise, it’s just those three actors for the entire film.  During a weak part of the year, the film has been number one for Lionsgate and has made a profit as the budget was set extremely low, made for about as little money as you can make a movie like this these days.  It hit around 40 million worldwide and has been a slow burner.  But it sets up Mel Gibson to knock the ball out of the park with The Resurrection because, in an economy of scale consideration, the margin on the film shows Mel knows how to hit it, so Flight Risk is successful on many frontiers. 

I think years from now, when people look at the miracle of something like The Resurrection being made, people will wonder how it came to be, and this little film Flight Risk will have to be the door that was opened for Hollywood to become Great Again, as a direct representation of the Trump White House.  To tell a compelling story with no money and just three actors on an airplane running out of gas is a great filmmaker showing off to set up much bigger things, and ultimately, that’s where all this is going.  My wife and I had an excellent date going to see it.  We were out shopping for some ties for some of my suits, and we had an extra couple of hours free, which was unusual, so we went to the movie next to the stores we were shopping at and saw Fight Risk.  I wanted to support Mel Gibson’s new film.  But I was also curious about what he could do with a movie like that.  And I was thrilled to see that he did quite a lot.  I have been cheering Mel Gibson on for twenty years to make the sequel to The Passion finally.  I don’t think anybody in the world could do what Mel Gibson can do with a project like that, to essentially bring the Ephesians and Book of Revelation alive from the Bible and put it on screen very dramatically.  Mel Gibson is a very flawed person; he was a womanizer, a heavy abuser of drugs and alcohol, and essentially a hard-wired lunatic.  But over time, he has grown into a man of God and is essentially the finger of justice as Heaven wishes to implement it on earth, and it has come out through the characters Mel Gibson has played and the movies he has directed.  And it all leads to one place, The Resurrection.  To put on film for the first time the wrath and chaos of the Book of Revelation in all its artistic necessity is going to be spectacular and timely. And the movie Flight Risk shows how it is possible.

The Gnashing of Teeth is Coming: It is time for the righteous to have revenge over evil

I don’t think we see a prophecy fulfilled from the Book of Revelation in our present time.  But I do think a lot of very evil, and vile people are trying to make it look that way to hide their various crimes against humanity, such as the election fraud of 2020, the unleashing of COVID by a lab in Wuhan, and the depopulation plan that looks to have been attached to the vaccine mandates.  You could add the destruction of the global economy in there for good measure, the many evils started by the World Economic Forum to establish their Great Reset into international, China-style communism, and you could say things have not been fun.  There are lots of good reasons for people to feel anxious.  But I do think that the biblical references to the gnashing of teeth, especially in Matthew 13:42, are pretty appropriate for the times that are coming, and those people deserve all the pain and misery that come their way for all the vile acts they have done.  The gnashing of teeth is mentioned in a few other places in the bible, and it refers to the response of punishment on the path to justice where the bad guys get their day after a long wait to come.  Specifically, Matthew 13:42 says, “And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”  That sounds like getting off easy, but we can go with it for the context of this article.  It continues in 43 by saying, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”  Not everyone has such ears to hear, and we see that on the nightly news.  Yet righteousness is about to have its day, and I’ll say to all the bad guys out there.  You had your time; we nicely gave you a chance, and now it’s time to pay, and pay you must. 

My thoughts about this came from a comment on this site from someone responding to me on my position on Issue 1, which is a vile constitutional attack on Ohio in new ways to introduce the most radical abortion policy in America that might as well be a modern version of sacrificing children to Baal and Moloch from the ancient land of Canaan, the very reason that God, Yahweh deemed that the Israelites should seize that land and destroy those people for their horrendous villainy.  Upon reading that comment, I thought it was quite suitable for the context needed to describe our present condition.  And it is not for the righteous to suffer as they have now for far too long.  It is up to the perpetrators of evil to gnash their teeth into a fine paste as they suffer punishment for all they have done.  Because what they did, they did on purpose.  They did it with maliciousness.  They had murder on their mind to hold power and manipulate the freedom of others in an occurrence of evil that is far worse than any other previous point in history, on such a vast scale that the human victims don’t even have a point of reference to draw from, except the Bible.  Only such events and thoughts have been captured over a vast span of human history, only to be reflected now when the world’s evil has so pompously displayed itself for all to see.  The gnashing of teeth indicates that it’s their turn to endure the pain they caused and for justice to find them swiftly and ruthlessly. 

There are other parts of the Bible where the gnashing of teeth is mentioned, and the point of reference is always where the wicked must pay for their actions under the hand of the righteous.  All this terror was unleashed with the assumption that the people would behave like sheep and go willingly to the slaughterhouse, and that part of that cover story was to use Biblical reference from the Revelation prophecy as a mass acceptance of fate itself.  Bad guys will be bad guys; we should all accept it and move on.  Jesus would come again to judge the living and the dead; we could go back to our business of appeasing our betters and leave the world alone to its crime and syndicates of ominous power and the abuses that spawn from it.  The bad guys in the world are blowing on the fires set by evil to perpetuate an agenda they profit from.  No question that is the case with Hamas attacking Israel, then all these Marxist-based Palestinian supporters rallying to the cause of victimizing themselves in the aftermath, as if the punishment coming to them, the needed gnashing of the teeth, was somehow Israel’s fault for just existing.  It all goes back to the establishment of Israel in the first place by Yahweh, who looked at the evils of Canaan, which would become Palestine, and deemed it unfit for occupation by a people who worshipped vile, despicable gods from the ancient past with bloodthirsty sacrifice.  Honestly, the issue was never appropriately settled, and now that same evil has been distributed upon the world stage in ways nobody has ever seen before, and now there is a judgment day upon us.  The righteous have the opportunity to gnash the teeth of the enemy. 

All these prosecutors who are trying to eradicate President Trump, to keep him from running in 2024, have it coming, and we don’t want to hear a lot of crying from them when gnashing their teeth will be the only acceptable response.  They did it to themselves.  Along with the punishments that must come from the Covid crowd and all the depopulation murderers who have been using many means of human destruction to propel their deathly agenda, such as abortion in Ohio, the killing of people with dangerous medicine which is very much a present problem and the complete degradation of our health system to accelerate pain and suffering so that big pharma can profit off the misery.  Yes, there are many things to pay for, and the righteous have the right and obligation to unleash their fury.  It wasn’t us who did all these evil things.  We didn’t conduct our lives in such a way.  And those who did have justice coming at them to grind them into dust, where there will be lots of gnashing of teeth.  It’s not like this is the first kind of righteous response that was called for.  But it is for the scale we are dealing with here, global in nature, essentially impacting every person in the world at the same time.  This has indeed been a global menace that has unleashed itself behind the spread of Marxism, and liberal politics masked behind secular fairness for the perpetuation of death and destruction at every opportunity.  And judgment day, in many ways, is the natural response.  And as evil is judged, they should expect things to go badly for them, and they will pray for the day when the gnashing of teeth is the worst.  Because they willingly participated in all this evil with the intent to destroy everything in their path.  And now they have been caught and will have to pay in ways like never before.  And as they gnash their teeth in the fires of Hell and eternal damnation, screaming from the top of their lungs at the pain of it all they need to remember the most important thing.  They did it to themselves.
