Mel Gibson Wacky "Beaver" Movie and The Jodie...

Can Jodie Foster save Mel Gibson's movie career with this weird, wacky but interesting movie about a depressed man who communicates with his family through a beaver puppet?Â

"Foster directed the film in which she and Gibson play a couple whose marriage falls apart because of his depression. A toy executive, Gibson's character makes a beaver puppet his alter ego, alienating his wife and kids and business associates even more. But ultimately the furry puppet helps lead him back to the people he loves."

"The Beaver" was made before his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, released audiotapes of Gibson having a meltdown. Jodie Foster and Summit Entertainment have put the movie into production, and Jodie Foster stands behindÂ Gibson.

She doesn't abandon a friend in need. They became friends when they acted together in "Maverick." They have been good friends ever since. Now, with the release of this silly but entertaining movie, "The Beaver," will Mel Gibson's career mayÂ be resurrected with Foster's help.

Not everyone believes the tapes are that of Mel Gibson, and manyÂ believe Grigorieva did a hatchet job on his career. So will this movie about a depressed man save the Gibson from true depression? Jody Foster may be Gibson's real beaver that saves his life and career.

He was sounding drunk and angry on the tapes, it is clear that she was "baiting" him and showed little emotion... She was taping it for specific reasons...and thus was sticking needles in him. It doesn't justify his comments but a lot of people say awful things when they have been drinking. It was a private conversation no one should have been privy too. She set him up and is trying to ruin his career. Everyone knows when Mel Gibson is drunk he says stupid things. I agree she is a gold digger and thought this was the way to get sympathy.

I have no sympathy for a woman who targets a rich married man. And as far as his drinking and potty mouth, she had to know that before she went out with him. The whole world knows he has a drinking problem and a potty mouth.... for the various incidents related to all on the news.

I hope he gets help, I hope she is seen for what she is, and I hope the public will still see him as a great actor.

Also she could have pieced the tape together, and since she made the tape, she is somehow responsible for leaking it. I think in trying to expose him, she exposed herself.
