[@MortalHuman]

​@@ophelias4172 Men are not valued like women in our culture. Boys are taught from a very young age to suppress their feelings, and the way they feel is not important and that their urges are wrong. The schools treat them like broken girls. Girls are the focus and are taught to express their feelings and are given special programs in schools to progress. Much of the messenging to our boys are to suck it up and provide and that men who can not provide financially are losers. Men's lives are sacrificed in time of war, while women are not eligible for a draft. So even our government value women's lives more. In cases of divorce , our courts are stacked against men and they most often lose their financial wellbeing and their children. Women get custody. Men get visits. Men's homeless shelters do not provide for men with children. Only women's shelters allows a safe space to be homeless with children. So you better not get into trouble as a homeless dad, there is nowhere to go if you want to keep your children. The vast majority of drug overdoses in our country are men and 75% of all suicides are men... You read that right..75%. You can look that statistic up. That is because men's mental health and wellbeing are not the focus of this society and they were tought from a young age to suck it up, push forward, and it is weak let feelings out. Men are supposed to be strong. Men's feelings, and their very lives are not as valuable as women's in our culture regardless of what feminists may yell out. I would label our society a gynocentric patriarchy. Yes it is run by men, but it's focus is our women and their wellbeing. We take care of our women as good men should. Now I'm sure I'll recieve a lot of hate for this post, but you can do your own research and make your own judgments. Some opinions are blurred by social agendas, but this is really the way it is. Men have never had it better, and there is a reason they die younger. Anyway, Brendan's feelings, welbeing and mental health do not matter to the MeToo groups out there and they certainly don't matter to the rest of society. Men are easily sacrificed and are disposable.

Sometimes life just gives the worst end of the stick to some people and brendan couldn't be any less deserving of its wrath. People who surmount Mt everest get the recognition, but if someone is clawing and scratching their way out of an everest-sized pit, we as a society fail to recognize this as the achievement as it is, and I feel like brendan is a perfect example of someone who forced us to recognize it through sheer will.

Brendan was always one of the most genuine and nicest guys in Hollywood. I mean, he admitted he took roles that just seemed like "fun" for him to do even if he knew it was going to tank in the theaters because he just wanted to make people laugh and make them happy. His new renaissance is well deserved....I hope Nicolas Cage's resurrection goes just as well.

It may sounds cheesy but my “dad” left when I was 5 yo so I grew up watching Brendan movies like the mummy etc and I felt like he was “my dad” in some type of way. He was like my hero and I was so sad about the fact that he wasn’t on any movie years ago and I’ve always wondered what happened to this man and here we are again! I’m so f. Proud of him and so happy that he’s back to acting. He seems like a really good hearted man. God bless him.

[@irmaiz133]

Not cheesy at all. Growing up as the middle-child and introvert, Michael Jackdon was and forever remains my friend and mentor and angel. I felt connected to him and his pain of being teased by his family as I was too. Nothing cheesy as long as you are idolizing then as PERFECT UNFLAWED ONE. :))

Brendan Fraser has considerable dramatic range. He's best known for "George of the Jungle" and the Mummy trilogy.

I just got back home after watching the whale and all I can say is I’m quite moved by Brendan’s performance. It was such a touching movie, not only because of the story but also for the come back of an actor I truly loved watching as a child. I probably watched george of the jungle and the mummy a billion times. Then Brendan disappear from acting and watching him after everything he’s struggled with… priceless. I’m quite thankful for having the opportunity to watch him overcome all these challenges and showing the world he truly is a great actor. We all knew he had no troubles to land a joke, but on the whale he proved he’s also capable of touching our souls through a film, which is quite rare these days. It really is a joy watching such a humble and down to earth person receiving the credit he deserves, cheers!
