The naked gun makes fun of Liam Neeson’s problematic history

It is a question that has been in many minds in the past few years: Is there a famous “cancellation” way to return? For some public figures, their wrongful actions clearly go beyond that they should not try to return. These are Harvey Winstein, Kevin Spaces, and Bill Cospeus in the world: people whose crimes should not be allowed to be members of society, not to mention fixed functions in entertainment. For everyone, however, things are not cut and dry. It is easy to make mistakes, and the path to hell is often paved with good intentions. However, our lives and culture these days are written in digital ink, not a pencil, and it may be difficult for anyone to move forward when bad words or verbs are still easily available to repeat the trial with a single click of a button.

This is an issue faced by actor Liam Neeson, who truly found himself in hot water after an interview with her Independent In 2019 while promoting his movie, “Cold Pursuit”. In the interview, Nisson was in fact trying to atone for his past “terrible” behavior, which involves a dark time in his life when a friend was raped and heard that she believed that her rapist was a black person. Nisson admitted wandering all over London in search of a fight with any black man he faced. Although the goal of his confession is to apologize even for thinking about the age of blind revenge with a racist topic, his words spread like the Hashim fire and attached to his general reputation.

Since then, Nesson has publicly apologized several times, and while his comments and actions have not been exempted, it appears to have been tolerated. The actor himself appeared in “Atlanta” Season 3 “,” In a veil he boldly plays with Nisson’s character and the concept of his cancellation. New Nissan Restart the “abstract gun” He also recognizes his problematic history, and does this in a way that allows people (special Nisson) to move forward by laughing at him instead of allowing him to vary.

Although Nisson made an official public apology in an episode of “Good Morning America”, it seems that the actor has since realized that laughter could be the best drug, and that adhering to himself in himself is going a long way. Even before his controversial comments occurred at all, as his manifestations in “Life are very short”, “a million ways to die in the West”, and made “The Lego Movie” Neeson realizes The brick screen can be used in a comic context. Therefore, when the Leslie Nielsen dispute is given as a commander connected to the comedy in “The Naked Gun”, the actor is dinkened by head programs.

The “The Naked Gun” was simply wandering in the intensity of the comedy Neeson, but the film turned several steps further, and merged some social comments into the procedures. The villain is a non -conscience billionaire named Richard Kasab (Danny Huston), and he is a gentle and blocked acting for many of the likes we have to deal with in the real world. The mysterious Cane conspiracy is to send the world to such a primitive chaos so that it leaves itself and his elite billionaires from the most efficient people on this planet, and that this new society will allow them to say and do all the things that white men feel that they are forbidden to do so. Kasab initially believed that he can persuade the Fegilian investigator Frank Darbin Junior (Nisson) that such a world will be an improvement, tending to the compound of the persecution that many white men have given themselves recently. Fortunately, although Drebin may be a dowry, it is not so Which – which A lot of clown.

The director/co -writer Akifa Shafir throws another reference to the Nisson past at a later time, when Beth Davbort (Pamela Anderson) praised the implementation of a cane from revenge against her murdered brother. Drebin Beth gives an excited speech on how to seriously regenerate revenge, but it only gets an additional comic development of two trains that shows this because the person will also find him amazing To leave. By making the actor sliced the toxic masculinity and the revenge delusions that he was harboring as a younger man, he helps Shafir and Nison in removing the sting from the past – it is not different from what “Bad Boys Ride or DIE” did.

Despite his mistakes, it is generally true that no one puts Nesson in the same category as Winztein or Kosby. However, there is no doubt that social media can make it seem that any attack is the reasons for the death penalty, given how urgent and stomach people can act online. Ironically, “The Naked Gun” is not the only movie in theaters that deal in a sense of humor with the subject of unrestricted toxicity and return from a distorted reputation.

Another movie is “Superman”, a movie that assumes this kindness can be a radical actual “evil rock music”. If the film was made decades ago, such feelings may seem very vulgar, but in the atmosphere of 2025, it looks almost revolutionary. In “Superman”, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) reveals that he has an army of smart monkeys that are written on social media applications, all in the service Pollution of the general image of Superman (David Cornsu has). Gunn has a lot of personal experience with the hordes of haters on the Internet, whether it is the cultural fans of Zack Snyder or the right -wing Grifters who He almost released him from the “Guardians of Gallos” a day.

“Superman” and “the naked gun” offer their social comment from the perspective of common sense instead of extremist passion. There is a place to protest that is undoubtedly unnecessary, however, films tend to have larger effects as sympathy machines if a horse’s Trojan in their suspension. In the case of “The Naked Gun”, Schaffer is known when the public is followed on the audience as well as when an accuracy approach should be followed. With Nisson, the man who seems clearly competing, the movie enjoys. When it comes to referring to the old character of Rolver, OJ Simpson played in the original “Naked Gun” films, the film simply has its descendants (Musa Jones) offers a look at the camera and shakes his head. He notes that Nordberg Junior will not give up his father like his co -workers, and the film will not try to rehabilitate Simpson’s image.

Therefore, although there is no playing book or accurate bases of a person to fix himself in the eyes of the audience after it became a problem, the way Liam Neeson has publicly addressed and atone for his past, making him a suitable beginner. After all, a good joke has a long way.
