Well of course everyone doesn't. Some of the most sickening stuff I've ever heard in regards to children has emanated on this very forum alone but in the main, most folk aren't off the planet and at least relatively normal. I've supplied links for criticism and frankly, up to you if you take heed or not.
He's a fine actor, there's no two ways about that. Just a shame that he's also an utter wingnut.
You know in a vacuum ... this could apply to so many actors.
Quite possibly but few would be so publicly acquainted with absolute loony tune stuff like Qanon.
But that's all part of the act. They all act like they're above it all but basically none of them are. And we shouldn't expect any of them to be geniuses in anything other than acting anyway. If they weren't actors they'd be working stiffs like anybody else, and all working stiffs are just as dumb as the next guy, hey, I should know, being one of them.
I see nothing out of order about what he said.It doesn't unless they bring that aspect of themselves into the film. Apparently, however, Caviezel is moved to say the following about the film:
Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America
Jim Caviezel stars as a hero trying to stop child traffickers in a paranoid new movie turning into a surprise box-office hitwww.theguardian.com
Those hoping for a few detached laughs at the deep-dish delusion sneaking onto the mainstream radar will be bored by the straight face donned for the duration of the run time – until, that is, a small counter in the corner of the credit roll warns of a “Special Message” in two minutes. Having dropped his character, Caviezel himself appears to say that though we might be feeling frightened or saddened, he’d like everyone to leave with a message of hope for the future. Directly after establishing that he’s not the center of attention here, he betrays an evident messianic complex by announcing that his movie could very well be the most important ever made, going so far as to compare it to Uncle Tom’s Cabin in its campaign to shine a light on 21st-century slavery.
Both Caviezel and Ballard have ties with the loony Qanon so that's when an actor and a character kinda merge...
What does he do that makes you refer to him as a wingnut?????
Yes, I always go to a movie about child sex trafficking hoping to have a "few detached laughs"
What delusion? The UN's own statistics state that this is a global phenomenon. See:
I suppose this might make sense if you went into this movie thinking it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or were totally retarded.
Seems appropriate considering how heavy the subject matter is.
Right, he explicitly says that the heroes of this movie are the two principal children featured
That's retarded
That is a bald-faced lie
In fact what he said was "I believe we can make Sound of Freedom the Uncle Tom's Cabin of 21st century slavery"

Worth reading the whole thing. I may excerpt more later, but this is telling:
5 Shocking Reasons Media Savaged ‘Sound of Freedom’
……....….......
They Hate Caviezel More
Liberal film critic Roger Moore didn’t just skewer “Sound of Freedom,” which is perfectly fine since art is always subjective. He directed his ire at Caviezel.
Caviezel made it his business to cynically pander to this conservative religious “QAnon” friendly audience, long before he starred in TV’s “Person of Interest,” which was canceled because he’s just not an interesting, expressive actor person.
Roger Moore is an idiot. Person of Interest ran for five seasons with 103 episodes and consistently had a strong viewership, ranking # 5 in season 2.
Further, if you accept Moore's premise that the film was intended to pander to a conservative religious audience, the implication is that liberal non-religious audiences don't care about child sex trafficking. Which is, actually, an implication that I agree with.
5 Shocking Reasons Media Savaged ‘Sound of Freedom’ - Hollywood in Toto
The Netflix movie "Cuties" showcased young girls, dressed in provocative attire, gyrating toward the camera. Even free speech devotees wondered if that visual approach was necessary to tell the story in play. The media, en masse, rallied to the movie's side, suggesting "Cuties" critics had it...
If you're familiar with nuance then you'll understand how one can be completely against child trafficking and a movie saturated with propaganda. If you're not familiar with nuance then okay, you're not gonna connect the dots so easily...
He's an advocate for Qanon. Nuff said.
Except it's not an act. He promotes asinine conspiracy rubbish.But that's all part of the act. They all act like they're above it all but basically none of them are. And we shouldn't expect any of them to be geniuses in anything other than acting anyway. If they weren't actors they'd be working stiffs like anybody else, and all working stiffs are just as dumb as the next guy, hey, I should know, being one of them.
