Kate Winslet on Ammonite, Saoirse Ronan love scenes and the LGBTQ roles debate

- Academy Award winner Kate Winslet sits down with Attitude's Will Stroude to discuss her role as 19th-century fossil-hunter Mary Anning in Francis Lee's powerful romantic drama 'Ammonite', outlining her hope that the film will help normalise same-sex relationships in mainstream and period cinema and in turn increase the number of queer roles on offer for LGBTQ actors in the industry.
Kate also reveals how filming love scenes with co-star Saoirse Ronan made her question whether she's truly "stood [her] ground" when shooting similar scenes with male actors during her 25 years in Hollywood, and explains how the industry is changing in its treatment of women on set.
"I hope that we are able to normalise same-sex connection on film without hesitation, secrecy or fear."

Ammonite is available for premium home rental on all digital platforms in the UK from Friday 26th March.

This LADY SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE WITH RACHEL WEISZ AND BREAK ALL THE RECORDS . THANK YOU.
Girl the way you talk 😏🤤
you should be the ruler of the whole world with this darn comment
@@tyhieshajohnson8740 hahahha Amazing . I would give money to these ladies to make A TRILOGY 😂😂 . THEY SAY EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS THERE IS A DEEP CONNECTION
may the gods head you
Omg right they would be perfect together
Kate has spoken in one minute of this interview more than the words she spoke in the whole movie 😂
the movie put focus on non verbal acting to explore the deeper emotions better, you are supposed to pay attention to their body language and facial expressions, it's a style of storytelling which is quite difficult to be done delicately and successfully. Sad to see you make fun of an artform like that
I was drawn to this film primarily because there was no element of shame introduced . They didn’t really get caught or criticized for loving each other, other than how we and they already knew how society would have reacted. We didn’t have to really worry about any of that happening which felt really liberating, to be honest. I love this film so much. It holds a very special place in my heart. 🥰
Yes I agree with you...
Why do people think they are being cool using the word 'queer' as it is still an insult to many LGBs; in addition, it has become meaningless b/c now hetero men pretending to be women ('trans' AGPs) use it as do other straight people trying to be edgy. As for the movie, it was great, both actresses are so very talented.
"women know what women want, men don't..and sometimes you have to TELL them"....
That's it!! Lady Winslet. All day 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This was a "fact" so ture!
Now just exchange the word instead of women.n put men.i think it will be same,its not always about women,we men,we also have our needs we can't just say straight away.its not always about women.
@@JUSTBADANG457 whataboutism
+1，☘️✅✅✅💖💖💖💖💖💖
I have to disagree with her on that.
Kate Winslet is so talented ,every role she plays is truly amazing. Ammonite was fantastic.
I felt the ending of Ammonite was rushed and almost... stupid, disrespectful, maybe? Why on Earth did Charlotte think it was a good idea to be like "yay, from now on you live here" without asking Mary if Mary was up for such a massive change? Did you guys understand the ending of the movie? Why did Charlotte go to such extreme lengths? Was that love?
@@imsparkly7968 i guess she was too excited to live with her
Kate Winslet is a gay icon and needs to be protected at all costs
She is no gay icon!!!
@@jamessibson7453 she literally is
@@joannmannn7006 Stop it. She simply played a role.
She is
She is a very strong ally who isn't afraid of speaking up... Much much like Cate Blanchett. She is most definitely a well respected ally and icon in the lgbtq community.
EVERYTHING she said in this interview is so important and true...Gosh I love her. Ammonite is a masterpiece and her performance as Mary Anning really outstanding. Thank you Kate 🙏🏻 Great questions as well
On top of being a masterful actor, Kate is such a compassionate soul. And a passionate one. I wish more actors would follow suite. I’m glad she’s such good friends with Saoirse 🥰
@@Anadorado88Saoirse adores Kate, you can tell by the so easy chemistry they have with each other during their intimate scenes, and their kissing scenes.
Does not matter what movie Kate is in. We know it'll be good when shes in it. haha Shes so talented.
Agreed!
How beautifully she speaks!!! In Ammonite, she is brilliant.
This movie totally spellbound me as a gay man, completely captivated by lesbian love. That is how good the acting and directing was in this masterpiece.
There's a reason why Kate Winslet has been promoting Ammonite so relentlessly these last few months and that's because she's so bloody damn good in it. I really enjoyed it and have no regrets having watched Ammonite, it has stayed in my consciousness. Kate is terrific in this. And actors should be able to play any sexual orientation; gay actors don't just want to play gay roles. There are some parts that should be played by gay actors; people will feel differently about this, I'm sure, but I happen to feel the role of Bruce Bechdel in Fun Home should be played by a gay man, when possible. I've never seen that role become fully realised when played by a straight actor. So, it just makes more sense to cast a gay actor. But Kate Winslet has nothing to apologise for or explain here, she is completely justified in taking this role and really brings it to life.
The problem is gay actors don't have as much choice as Kate Winslet, who didn't exactly create new opportunities here, did she now. I am sure her performance is fantastic, but we should also be able to admit she may be a part of the problem. Not to mention her past defense of Polanski and Allen, I think she's past the point of always getting a pass when she keeps profiting from the machine.
@@odorutori Nothing could be more limiting to an actor than saying "you're gay, you can only play gay people." They've just lost a ton of work, right there, not to mention access to the world's greatest plays and film roles. And it's just not been historically true - PLENTY of gay men play straight characters. There is plenty of work for gay actors, and storytelling opportunities, as long as they are not limited to just playing gay characters.
@@odorutori I totally disagree with you! She is an actress and her work is playing characters that may be total different to her. About working with the directors you mentioned, many stars have done the same and have not been judged like her. I find it absurd, anyway she is a legend and will win a second Oscar some day, no matter what haters say...
Just declare Kate an honorary lesbian. BOOM - problem solved 😂
So far the best, intelligent and relaxed interview Kate winslet has given for Ammonite and for the LGBTQ community. I so hope this will 'roll on' and the film industry aaaaaaand the world will take note of what Winslet is saying! 🌷🌷
Thank you Kate Winslet, so brilliant, not only as an actress, but as a person. LGBTQ people have been in everyday society for years, however almost always left out of story lines in both TV and movies for years. Thank you for your voice, it's ever so needed.
Kate Winslet is so well spoken and knowledgeable of the LGBTQ issues we face. Thank you so this interview.
So dear Kate, are you aware that with this film you have become an icon of the LGBTIQ+ community? Or will be? 🏳️🌈 An incredibly great film. So much said without speaking. In interviews you say that it was very difficult for you to communicate so little verbally. You've managed to do it. Simply impressive. Thank you so much. Kisses from Germany 🥰
She’s just a fantastic person. Everything that she said was just so well spoken. I just love her! The film is amazing as well. Saoirse was incredibly also
Such a boost for LGBTQ when great actors do queer roles. My admiration for their bravery is huge. Thanks Kate and Saoirse.
this is about lesbians, not kweer whatever that means. L, not the rest of the alphabet soup.
@@Sciencespipo ??? Are you feeling well ?
@@Sciencespipo are you high or something? First of all it’s queer not kweer and second of all, queer is an umbrella term that gay people use and that lesbians can use too . And this isn’t just for lesbians, as Kate was talking about the whole LGBTQ+ community in this video. You do know that bisexuals and pansexuals exist right? It doesn’t have to be 2 lesbians to make a same sex female relationship. It could be 2 lesbians, a lesbian and a bisexual, 2 bisexual women, a bisexual and a pansexual, 2 pansexual women, a pansexual and a lesbian. A same sex female relationship isn’t just lesbians.
@@Sciencespipo Too bad for you we treat the whole alphabet as FAMILY which you are obviously NOT aware of. Buy a dog. You’re lonely.
Lol
This interview is absolutely amazing, and Kate Winslet is fantastic.
I think it's one of the most precise and wonderful interviews I've ever heard, full of common sense and sensitivity.
What an incredible woman and an incredible movie. It's the first movie I've seen where I've really felt my heart skip and felt connected and invested in a love story. Thank you for the representation.
What a great interview with Kate Winslet. One of the best interviews I have seen from anyone. I doubt that there was anything anyone might disagree with, with her articulate responses to the questions asked.
she knows, she knows, what a women scene is supose to be , exactly that! passion, no top no dominating, just a women knowing what she wants
That interview could've gone on for another hour...
Waiting for Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett in a romantic drama. Kate was MASTERFUL in The Dressmaker and had a fantastic chemistry with Judy Davis.
Loved this movie. Beautiful love story. Thank you Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan. As a gay woman, I appreciate positive lesbian representation in film.
Not Lesb BISEXUALITY!!!!
Kate you are brilliant and such a talented actor.. Your comments are spot on and what a beautiful way to say them. Thank you for Amonite. A true pleasure to watch. We love you!
Thank you that interview and making that film.❤❤
The heart and passion Kate puts in speaking about the LGBTQ community really moves me, and that's exactly why I love her: such an amazing person, down to Earth and honest! I'm so glad there's more and more people in the film industry who speaks about the importance of bringing more queer cinema in the mainstream. Ammonite and The World to Come blessed us: so intense, earnest, pure. I just love the game of glances the protagonists share in both movies, and the exchanges between acts and silences. Stunning
Shes an idealist, and hugely gifted.
Great interview, love Kate Winslet
Kate - You are an exquisite actress - Amazing as always xx
If anyone can be loved and admired in today's crazy world, it's Kate Winslet. Think what you want! It's just like that! If she didn't win more Oscars, it's just that the commission is a completely unjust bunch of incompetent dilettantes! Kate, you are our inspiration, keep working, because he is absolutely brilliant!
Great interview, slightly clumsy cut off .ending ... Kate Winslet just warms your heart, doesn't she -
Yes
This is a great interview. Kate is a consummate professional and incredibly insightful.
I'm so glad I watched this interview. I have a newfound respect for Kate after this👏👏
“WOMEN KNOW WHAT WOMEN WANT.” 👏👏👏
Fabulous woman. On the subject of straight actors playing gay and vice versa. I think any actor should be allowed to play any role they choose. It’s called ‘acting’ for a reason. As long as they commit to the role and give it 100%.
Great interview. Well done!!!!
their acting is really good that the film doesn't need much of a dialogue 😍 my period piece queens kate and saoirse ❤️
Kate Winslet is way to young to already be a legend in acting.
I absolutely love her choice of movies, and series. She.is.Amazing.
We are BLESSED to have her represent and advocate for gender equality, and same-sex relationships in mainstream.
Two of my favourite actresses in the universe AND they're in love in this film?? Be still my heart. Why haven't I seen this yet 😍😍😍
All movie of kate winslet are beautiful and worth it to watch
she's so refreshingly blunt, i love her
I love this so much. Kate Winslet brings up some really great points here.
Exactly! She nails it! Love is love, whether it be between man & woman, woman & woman or man & man. She speaks so eloquently, & I love that she said she wasn't brought up that way. I believe being judgemental or hateful is learned. Compassion, inclusivity & empathy for others is about love, not hate, not being judgemental & being inclusive. I love her strong personality, and her standing up for women, not just in film, but women in every walk of life.
M+M very agly
what a wonderful woman and an excellent interview
The movie is amazing!!
Kate Winslet is the best ❤👏🏼
🥰 love, love....equality for everyone. Love is love! 💕 Well done Kate! You’re the bomb, amazing 🤩 🙏🏻 thank you! I’m a huge fan.
This woman is legendary and !! I'm from Belgium... I hope one day to be this brave and help lgbtq xxx I love you Kate
After watching this interview it just makes me love Kate Winslet even more 🙌🏻🏳️🌈
I could be wrong, but I can’t imagine too many female screenwriters writing “saucily” about any sex scene, never mind one between two women.
Love this interview. I remember portrait of a lady on fire and like Kate said, women are object even though they are the subject the portrait (environment).
Brilliant interview! I particularly loved Winslet’s response to the question that some people considered the film to be rewriting history - we definitely shouldn’t just assume that heterosexuality is the default 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Per me è in assoluto la miglior storia d'amore,gli sguardi che si fanno dicono tutto.Bravissime,uniche.
im in love with this movie and also kate winslet thank you.
So good video❤❤
Wow, this is such a great interview! I could listen to her speak for hours
I dont think I could love a woman more than I adore Kate Winslet
Yes I do the same
Thank you Kate for being such an awesome ally!
Beautifully said, Kate; and it ALL went way over this man's head, as he just sat shaking his head up and down incessantly. So glad I'm not straight.
Love and Respect
the movie was bold,,no second guessing,,their love was showing for each ther,,i did like the movie,,but,,please tell me did they remain together or not ?
I love this video ❤ Kate is speaking so much truth.
She really gets it…
AMAZING!!!!!!!... kate is brilliant!!!!!!! Amo kate
Quando due anime affini si incontrano tutto si annulla, la parola e la classe sociale non esistono più. Il rapporto tra le due donne è vissuto attraverso il sentire, o meglio il sentirsi dopo aver attraversato i giorni insieme ed essersi studiate nel silenzio. Questo film ai miei occhi è un capolavoro. Quando il loro amore si esprime nell'intimità non puoi rimanere indifferente, eccita i sensi e riempie il cuore di passione e di una complicità nata da un profondo senso di appartenenza. Film meraviglioso
#attitudemag Why did you cut off the interview?!
12.40 "Why can't it be graceful and powerful...!" :D
Love me some Kate Winslet 💖

I love u KATE!
I love the actress and I love the woman...I love her mind too... About the movie it's a beautiful and difficult but romantic love story and I hope the two lovely ladies end together...❤
The two actresses are fantastic...❤
It was a good attitude that interviewed..very well..allowing character to speak about..exclusively..than the person sitting opposite to get the stuff...nice...
Just loving this movie deeply.
... And reading some commends below all i can say is.
Yes is an ICON
She doesn't only play ONE role, Heavenly Creatures ring any bell ?
And beside with this movie Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan they did more than many others in films for LGBT world.
'' Woman know what woman want, men don't always know ... And sometimes you have to tell them ''
This as a quote is brilliant
La mejor! La amo ❤️❤️❤️
Great actresses!
(starring kate winslet)
me: purchases asap
Kate Winslet 😘😘😍🥰
Have loved Kate since I saw her in Heavenly Creatures ❤ She definitely helped me feel 'normal' before coming out 24 years ago🌈 then it was about just being represented, agree with her that we need to keep working on normalizing
i think it is a really great film. i watched it some days ago. it was different. actors play characters, so it does not matter if they are not queer. the actor displays presents what what ther eis to feel. in a way actors are neutral.
10:47 OHH SWEET MUSIC TO MY EARS

Kate Winset had so much to speak about I think it'd be high time she just up and starts her own youtube channel.
