The film is a real masterpiece . Watching this film is as much an aesthetic pleasure as the immortal works of Shakespeare. A professor and a madman. Scottish and American. Together they create a colossal work-the Oxford English Dictionary. Sean Penn brilliantly played the role of the repentant, mentally ill Dr. Chester Minor. And when you see this will, this working enthusiasm, which is embodied on the screen by Mel Gibson as James Murray, then you yourself begin to get infected with this passion, this love for the great English language. English is the Latin of the modern world. The language of logic, beautiful and noble. The language of progress, the language of the future. Love English, read more classics, improve, speak beautifully. Language is everything.

I think it's a bit sad how many people are like "it's about a dictionary?" - a) it's more than that, because it has a lot to do with crime and the history of mental health institutions (though I have to admit the trailer doesn't do those parts much justice) and b) our written language should not be taken for granted. A standard version of written languages has only been around for 100 to 200 years. And these people did a mad job of compiling tens of thousands of entries way before the internet or even telephones were a common thing. This real story is a tribute to the love of knowledge and wisdom, and I think we could use some more of this nowadays.

Probably the best movie i've watched for the past 10 years.Brilliant play by Sean Penn. Very refreshing to see Intelectual movie that stimulates reading and thinking abilities. Reminds me a bit of 'Beautiful Mind'.

This is a masterpiece. A story about love, forgiveness and human redemption. If you don’t appreciate this you are a fool. This is about how love can trascend pain, hate, intellect, madness, reason (excuse my english). Making dictionaries is badass. The impossible task of documenting human existence through words. The ones you use every day to comunícate, don’t take that shit for granted. If you think that is boring you are wrong. The work those people put into that is hard. The incredible performances in this film are amazing, and the story is compelling, we need more of this in theaters. Real life stories about hope for humanity. Other wise we are wasting our time. Not everything has to have visual effects to be attractive, just two good beards and good story telling. From begining to end this is great. It’s not about entertaining, it’s about real art, and that takes thinking and empathy to understand some one alses point of view. Amazing film.

Mel Gibson is always involved with some of the best stories. He is a fantastic writer and director. He does a great acting job every time as well.

Really good movie. Literate, moving and with superb performances by Mel Gibson, Sean Penn and Natalie Dormer. Was initially hesitant to see it because of negative reviews by the professional critics, but the overwhelming positive reviews by ordinary moviegoers inspired me to give it a try. Hollywood is never going to forgive Gibson for his drunken outburst, but a work of art should be judged by its own merits. 4/5.

I have seen this movie and i must say that Sean Pen's has given outstanding performance

We love you Mel Gibson, we need more from you .

This looks like an amazing film. Every so often we begin to think that good movies are a thing of the past, and then someone like Mel Gibson comes along to remind us that they don't have to be.

Two legends together, wouldn't miss it for the world.

Mel: "I want to make a movie" Sean: "Yeah me too, but I don't wanna shave" Mel: "Say no more fam"

I remember reading this book years ago! I can’t wait!

This movie has exceeded all my expectations. The storyline and the directing are very captivating in every aspect. Very inspiring too. The trailer is not doing it justice. Also, Sean Penn's performance is incredible to say the least.

If you are a teenager looking for an action movie don't go to this one and then criticize it. This is a MASTER PIECE for those who appreciate history. Great movie to watch and loved the act.

Yes!!! Mel Gibson, my favourite actor, just brilliant, keep making AND acting in movies Mel!

this trailer between all superheroes movie in this year.. just like an oasis..

I ain't here for the dictionary drama, I'm here for those awesome BEARDS!

"Watch then, and be amazed" ... prelude to a box office film

The book is excellent 👌 I read it in 2000 and have waited for a movie about it ever since 😀

I read the book years ago. Only realised this movie had been made a week ago. What a fabulous movie! I watch aot of movies and I would say this has been the most beautifully filmed but heart breaking movie I have seen this past year. I wish I had the Oxford dictionary beside me so I could explain in words how Wonderful this movie is. I dont understand why it didn't get the recognition it deserves

This might be the first preview I've seen in a year that looks interesting enough to want to see.

Words are incredible, and dictionaries are very important.

“Watch then, and be AMAZED.”

Perfect pair in this story: Sean Penn and Mr remarkable Gibson

Just finished watching it. Amazing movie. Amazing acting.

Mel Gibson and Sean Penn 👏👏👏 Two great actors in my book 💪💪💪

Superb acting. I see Oscars their way.

Mel Gibson reminds me of my dad. I loved my dad and always will. My dad was catholic. He worked outdoors. His son died at age 14 from Hodgkin a form of cancer. My dads heart was shredded that day 2-20-62. My dad nickname was Cadillac Jack...after he retired he drove cars for dealerships. He loved to travel. So when I see Mel Gibson face Im flooded with heartwarming memories of my dad. I will watch every Mel Gibson movie. ❤

Hollywood is running out of ideas fast but to see Gibson and Penn in these roles might just be amazing..

I went to the Theater to watch this. I don't know why I felt compelled to watch it, but I don';t regret it. It is a wonderful movie. One I will gladly add to my collection.

I can't wait to see it! I'm 56 and I remember seeing Sean Penn as Spicoli in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". Never in a million years would I have thought he would be such a great and prolific actor. Boy he showed me! Mel Gibson is also magnificent. Two of the best. Gotta see this one!

i welcome anything that Mel Gibson does,especially in this day of comic heroe movies

I've been waiting for another mel film!! like of you agree!

After a long time truly enjoyed an epic movie...Mel, Sean, and Natalie are amazing actors, I was lost in their world.

Best movie I have seen in a while. Both Gibson and Penn are still the best actors we have ever had. I highly recommend it. This is definitely a refreshment, and finnaly a GOOD movie

Five Stars. An absolutely stunning performance (drama) by Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, Jennifer Ehle, and Natalie Dormer. Cinamaphotography is gorgeous. The producer was Iranian Farhad Safinia. Best film my wife and I have seen in years. The film became entangled in strange legal battles, thus blunting its release. We highly recommend the film.

Got to see this movie. Two of the best actors over the last 40 years.

I saw this movie but knew nothing about it. Amazing performances by Mel Gibson and Sean Penn

Damn. I didn't even know this move came out.. what an awesome cast. Will definitely watch it now.

Pure talent...2 legends in one movie....🎆

Two legends together... Can't wait

Sean Penn has always been a good actor. Best roll of he’s lifetime . The Snitch

Two of my very favorite and great actors , Mel and Sean... I'M very excited.

POWERFULL acting from Sean Penn.. he must be taken in consideration for an Oscar with this performance.. one of (if not) the best from him ever. WAUW!!!

Please Mel gibson, do more movies again! I love your acting. I think you're a great guy personally too! Hope you're well!

Good to see these two badass back.

One of my most favorite books in the whole world. I tell everyone I know that it's a true incredible tale of the Oxford English Dictionary. I cannot wait to see this film!!!!

Whoa! I bought this book at a used-book store about a couple of years ago. Found it on one of the shelves where people don't bother to go because all of the other books there are like crap. It was even on sale and I got it for less than a dollar! Best sale I ever did! I will be watching this for sure!

One piece of art, I never thought it would be so incredible

Here's the trailer for #TheProfessorAndTheMadman! Enjoy and leave a like!

I watched the movie. It was magnificant. Especially Sean Penn had acted just perfect and Mel gibson as well. Congratulations from Turkey.

In loved this movie. Based on Simon Winchester's best seller, The Surgeon of Crowthorne, it speaks of the astonishing commitment and vision of Scot, Dr James Murray, and his relationship with American, Dr William Minor, who spent the better part of his life incarcerated in a19th century lunatic asylum. The performances of Sean Penn and Mel Gibson are wonderful. Sean demonstrates why so many consider him among the greatest living actors. His ability to get inside of these exceedingly challenging roles never s ceased to amaze. And it's a great story. Don't miss it.

I am so glad Sean Penn is back making films! And with Mel Gibson!😎

The professor and the mad max That's one that i would watch

Brilliant, heartfelt film

Beautiful movie. A must watch. In it, there are Love to God, love to the family, love to the country, love to the work, love to the friend, love to a woman and forgiveness.

Mel Gibson is outstanding man in be actor or director or producer. Your legend never seen before

"WATCH THEN AND BE AMAZED." MEL GIBSON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TALENTS TO GRACE HOLLYWOOD.

Drifted, deppressed, hated, rejoiced, cried, amazed, LOVED it. Best of the season so far. Inaridactable drama.

when the title is a masterpiece as the movie, and mel gibson in it, you dont have to finish the trailer to jump and watch the movie. it's my top 3 of the year

Mel's eyes have always been so intense. He looks like a wolf. Wolverine's Alpha.

I"m WAAAAAY more excited about this than any superhero movie...

This movie feels so refreshing, the aesthetic, the storytelling and the title itself, I am watching this.

highly recommend it...what a great movie....just finished watching it...

I've just realize that i needed this in my life to bring joy to my entire existence. Thank you Mel & Sean.

This looks amazing. Good to see Mel Gibson and Sean Penn acting. So much talent!

The Masterpiece has arrived!

I will take your word for it Professor, I will watch and be amazed!

Can’t wait to see it!!...Mel & Sean in a film together, hell yes!

yeah tell that rude interviewer he can stick it. Mel Gibson is back.

Finally a performance driven plot for Gibson and Penn. Two powerhouses can’t wait

Gotta say, one of theeee best movies I've seen in a long time! 5 stars!

02:10...... i remember that look....when he massacre the whole british army with tomahawk to save his 'son'... welcome back sir!

The Professor and The MAD MAX !

Two Fantastic Actor's Must watch this film when it comes out..

Sean Penn deserves an academy award for this performance.

Mel Gibson is an excellent actor. He puts his heart into all, even while fighting all tore him down. And before comp, creating the dictionary was awesome and not easy. WWG1WGA

Good to see Mel Gibson in movies ! This one seems new.

Two Great Actors together! Very much I like!

Wow. I read the book, because Simon Winchester is a great author. I didn't think it would be made into a movie, but it deserves to be. Simon's other works include The Day the World Exploded. About Krakatau, worthy of a movie. Also, A Crack at the Edge of the World, about the San Francisco earthquake.

I can't wait for Mel to be cast in another Mad Max.

I like Mel Gibson, happy to see him back!

One of my fav movies ❤

Welcome back, Mel! We missed you.

Mel is a legend ,looks great

Mel Gibson: Magnificent Actor, progressive Director, to this day I believe has he not fall from grace for that tiny little second when Apocalipto came, it would have taken everything.

Thank you Rapid for this special one

It's a pleasure to have to have this kind of Film

I am very sure it can win academy awards ...

Amo esses dois atores!!!

Let me say that this movie is a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mel Gibson should produce the movie of Nicolas Tesla

Well looks like Hollywood is making art once again, it’s about time. P. S. Thank you Mr. Gibson.

والله أحسن أفلام في العالم الأفلام الأمريكيه.. عظماء الفن بكل صراحه ، أحسن فنانين .. أشكر السينما الأمريكيه على كل ماتقدمه من إنتاج راقي مميز تحياتي: عاشق السينما الأمريكيه فهد من السعوديه

In the movie " Trumbo" Otto Preminger says : "Epic movie can not contain only epic scenes !!" Even that, it was a great trip with these two artists !! 9/10

Awww snap! Crazy Mel making a comeback! 🤛

Good to see Mel playing another famous Scotsman after Braveheart. His accent isn't bad either, and that's coming from a real Scottish person.

This movie is AMAZING! is beautifully done and its more than a simple movie, I recommend it highly!

Two legends of acting.

Do I have to read the book to understand the movie?
