She didn't "shut down" anybody, liars. She spoke intelligently and straight-forwardly and without rancor or sarcasm or trying to correct any reporter. Your headline is a clickbait lie. It worked, yes. But you're hacks.
It appears the clip didn't actually capture the moment; apparently, the reporter asked the male panelists (specifically) why cinema still matters; blanchett, as head of the panel, responded with:'so actresses, don't answer that question; you wouldn't know how to answer that question.' I can't find any evidence, however; other than metro's own article which posits that the event -allegedly' occurred. I think if it happened, then she was absolutely right to humiliate the reporter, but why that footage isn't shown is beyond me.
Nolan Olivier the full panel is here th-cam.com/video/ydf6_6ldqdw/w-d-xo.html At 20:40 a reporter asks “the panel, but more specifically the filmmakers...” not directly asking men only, but as 3/4 directors on the panel were male and of the acting talent 3/4 were female it is subtly weighted towards asking the male half of the panel. (The 9th panel member was a female singer-songwriter)
well, you must see the news because apparently, we can only see cate and 2 men of her sides. here is the news metro.co.uk/2018/05/08/cate-blanchett-shuts-sexist-reporter-cannes-film-festival-7531062/
Unfortunately there is uncontroversially a trend, as you approach either very intelligent or very stupid attractive people become more and more scarce. Very few attractive people are very intelligent, that goes for men and women, sorry but that's the truth of it.
@@killingece most that knows already can just ignore the comment then. i for one am still new in getting to know her so clarifying that it's an inside joke and that they wasn't being rude was thoughtful in my opinion.
God, I hate click bait TH-cam titles. But I guess you wouldn't get as many views if you called it: "Cate Blanchett gives intelligent answers to intelligent questions."
I hate social justice warriors, they're unbearable. Even more so when they hold press conferences obsessing about diversity, as if diversity in itself would presumably improve the quality of the art.
She's not doing it for the art. She's doing it for fair business practices in her industry. We don't know if it would improve the art but it wouldn't hurt to bring new and different people into the traditional mix. Maybe then Hollywood would stop shoving reboots and sequels down our throats. Social justice warriors are the reason we no longer have things like slavery. And they usually aren't seeking approval or validation, so they'll be fine without yours.
"Social justice warriors are the reason we no longer have things like slavery"... do you actually believe your third wave feminism, anti-white racism, and twitter hysteria does these things? Jesus Christ. And can you tell those Africans and Islamists still openly operating the slave trade that slavery no longer exists, can you tell the millions of men, women and children of all races still trafficked all over the globe, because I'm sure they'll give you a medal for your work.
Joelle Cohen “Anti-white racism”?Where was that anywhere evident? Social justice warriors ARE the people who end horrors like slavery, not people who barely cloak their bigotry in catchphrases like “third wave feminism” and supposed empathy for “all races.”
Cate you are a gift to this world and thank you for including the transgender community with this interview its such a big deal for us to be included. Thank you
Can we stop ass kissing, and paying lip service to actresses, as if they are goddesses. Keep them in their place for goodness sake. I like Cate, but truly do you really think she is such a Big Deal. I prefer to worship the Earth Goddess frankly.
madelena1234 its not ass kissing theyre public figures and for them to say something positive about the minorities in the world is such a big deal. I wasnt even worshipping her. Its about thanking the person who can make a difference for us transgenders. Who has a voice to make an impact. Gosh youre narrow-minded
Fuck off you idiot. She's a fucking hypocrite who was more than happy to work for Weinstein and named one of her kids, Roman, after a certain (great) director who drugged and raped a 13 Yr old girl. And a European film festival should NOT be run on the sensibilities of some black or Arab or anyone else of third world immigrant backgrounds, but rather by native French and European people.....in a European film festival, in case you missed the place where Cannes is located.
Hyoyeons Blondehair so that’s 42 people plus yourself that base having a perfect life on the fact that some actress is doing something you like....seems to me that’s an awful lot of people who don’t have a life!!!
Cate Blanchett should have called for fairness not equality in Cannes. ''...The art in which women excel best is theater, and in each actor there is always something feminine'' [Julius Evola Metaphysics Of Sex, Part IV, Chapter Male (Man) and Female (Woman) Psychology].
She makes some very good points. Only one complaint from me, and I blame too many psychology/sociology/etc. type classes over the years.... people keep saying 'Gender' at times when 'Sex' would be the more appropriate/accurate term. I'm not saying that Gender isn't an issue, but if she is saying there aren't enough Women/Females who are identified as Female due to what it says on their driver's licence, you should use the term 'sex' not 'gender'. Sex = Physical characterteristics of a person and, Gender = The non-physical (i.e. Male/Female pronouns, wearing dresses or slacks, wearing short/long hair, make up/not, body language)... I will probably get screamed at for this comment. Still thought I would put the idea/vocab lesson out there for people to mull over. Thought I have to agree with what she says about how there does need to be a greater number of people who aren't 40+ year old white males. Females, women of color, men of color, Asian, deaf, Native Americans, transgender, women over 45, lesbians, biracial, etc. etc. etc.
Transgender population in the US is about 1.4 million out of about 325 million. Without confirming the math thats about .3 percent, and Uk is about .1 percent. That would mean that once every 300 movies a transgender director would be represented, if they occur at the same interval as other members of the population. Even expecting that creative work would attract a group, still it would be rare for a film directed/starred by a transgender to appear every year. That is not even considering the likelihood of commercial success. Audiences often want stories about themselves or people they can identify with. It seems far more impactful if transgender stories were in mediums that didn't rely on commercial success. Just a small amount of money could make several youtube, twitch productions, or a small full size movie can be done for 1-4 million and appear on netflix or streaming. Saying that the Canne Festival's mission is diversity, and an offhand remark that it already failed because of lack of a transgender director was silly. Women make up at least 50% of the population. It is far more reasonable to expect equal treatment with such a high representation. However there are reasons that make equity harder for women to achieve in an industry. Pure Equity may never be achieved with out an artificial control.... but is that what anybody wants?
How is it mutually exclusive?Are you saying that if I have two sons, raise them the exact same way under the same household, they both should want the same thing? So if one wants to be a street mime and the other a CEO, then something is wrong with that? why the fuck cant people just like what they like,and prefer the prefer? It freezes my blood that we have people telling us what we should want in life, and that kind of drivel is being passed around by major celebrities. Good fucking god people, wake up! Men are not the blueprint of how women should want to live their lives,
It's mutually exclusive because equality is a social construct. It doesn't exist outside of the law. No group is equal to another, nor is any individual, or even the same person to themselves in different times of their life. As for your hypothetical, I'm not sure what you're getting at.
She is saying we need a policy of overt sexual discrimination to get more women into movies because it is very important to always have a 50/50 split of genders in any industry..... ..... except construction, trucking, mining, fishing, garbage collection, meat processing, security, warehouse work, oil rig catering, engineering, manufacturing etc etc etc. Just the glamourous industries basically, where you can wear a nice dress and have nice hair all the time. Feminism.
@@theawecabinet She didnt said that, she basically said that there should be equality but that this equality will not happen only with famous people talking about it, it has to happen through policies and objective actions in all industries. She literally said "all the industries" and you keep saying the opposite to try to prove your point.
Yeah pure class: buddies and with Woody and Weinstein. What wonderful woman. I forgive Australians alot, because they are so awesome, but I don't forgive that bs.
Cate needs to be an Ambassador with the EU, UN and the US. She’s profoundly one of the most interesting, intelligent, well spoken actor in the world. ❤Cate Blanchett❤️
This woman is a consummate brilliant egalitarian Genius. Erudite. Of inimitable hilarious ribald humor and able to pull it together at the best moment with impeccable timing. Have I got her, spot on ??
Remember everyone, this is an entertainment industry. Do not feel pressured by others to consume their beliefs. Aliens is a fun & inspirational film with a diverse mix of relatable characters & a strong female lead. There is nothing new about this sudden crusade. Cate would appreciate the spotlight & all of your attention.
I'm all for diversity, but you have feminists and SJW's that think women should be given a leg up for no reason other than their gender. If you look at some of the newer films, they are creating terrible female characters just for the sake of having them. Take Rey from star wars. She's nothing but a "Mary Sue" character, who can do anything and everything with no training. I like strong women roles, like Ripley in the Alien movies, who develope over time through hardship. The way it should be. Many of the women roles today are ridiculous and totally unbelievable.
#1. Men have been getting a leg up for no reason other than their gender for centuries. And now you, presumably a man, are upset because a small minority of feminists think they deserve to be given a leg up after an entire lifetime of being put in second place? Just take a moment to think about that. #2. The vast majority of women aren't looking for a leg up just because they are women. They are looking to be EQUAL. You can concentrate on and complain about the small % of people in any social movement who take things one step too far, but that is an easy excuse. Those people do not represent the large majority of people (in this case women) who are fighting for equality.
You're never going to have all things equal in the film industry. More men make films than women do. It has nothing to do with prejudice. There are some great female filmmakers but nowhere near as many as there are great male filmmakers. Of all the films I love and the directors I follow there are barely any that are women. The reason can't just be a leg up for men and women are treated unfairly. There are other forces at play here.
The reporter is not sexist. Just because you don't like a question, doesn't make the person who asked it, a bad person. And you can disagree with the statement or agree. And equating beauty with stupidity applies in Western culture to both men and women. Jocks and bimbos mean the same thing.
What if women don’t won’t to be involved? Women don’t have to be in every occupation to be equall!!! If you really are serious about judging work on its merits, then you can’t have equal numbers of gender or race, just so you feel better.
So? it also means that if you are beautiful you mostly be stupid? You can be the most beautiful woman and the most intelligent. What a stupid sentence.
They should have asked her about working with child molester Woody Allen and then we would have gotten to see exactly how classy and intelligent Cate Blanchett really is.
This race diversity and gender equality theory is lacking so much sense. People choose different careers. Women often choose this, and in contrast men choose that. Stop focusing SO MUCH on race and gender. Its not worth it.
It's not that simple. If a young girl looks at her DVD collection and sees very few female directors, she will form a picture of an industry that is exclusive and hostile to females. You can't underestimate the power of role models.
What? There's no "forcing" involved. Blanchett is talking about giving a greater platform to pre-existing female directors who have produced great work but on small budgets. My point about the importance of role models is that if an industry appears homosocial and like it's only accepting of a certain type of person, that can influence people who don't conform to that type to hesitate and look for opportunities elsewhere. I can't count the times have I heard of teenage boys who have wanted to apply for degrees in nursing or to become a midwife but are ashamed of the social stigma surrounding male nurses. It works both ways.
Cate cannot re-write history. Time killed Chaos and created beauty. Kronos killed Uranus and from it's blood Aphrodite appeared. The fierce Big Bang energy cooled and ordered by Time created Beauty and everything else emerged after. Beauty precludes intelligence. Eons after Uranus (heaven, chaos) faded into unknown, Kronos (time) fathered Zeus(power) which fathered Athena (wisdom). But Cate likes pretty little slogans which sound good and virtuous, taken probably from a book of good manners or something of the sort.

This race diversity and gender equality theory is lacking so much sense. People choose different careers. Women often choose this, and in contrast men choose that. Stop focusing SO MUCH on race and gender. Its not worth it.
It's not that simple. If a young girl looks at her DVD collection and sees very few female directors, she will form a picture of an industry that is exclusive and hostile to females. You can't underestimate the power of role models.
They CHOSE to not be directors!... You cant just force someone to do a job just for the sake of "equality" oh my god...
What? There's no "forcing" involved. Blanchett is talking about giving a greater platform to pre-existing female directors who have produced great work but on small budgets. My point about the importance of role models is that if an industry appears homosocial and like it's only accepting of a certain type of person, that can influence people who don't conform to that type to hesitate and look for opportunities elsewhere. I can't count the times have I heard of teenage boys who have wanted to apply for degrees in nursing or to become a midwife but are ashamed of the social stigma surrounding male nurses. It works both ways.
Juliana Bezáková "force"? Stop reaching
a brilliant and talented lady
BULL$HIT CLICKBAIT
Have done some construction work for cate , a very different woman off camera!
How is she at home ? :)
God she's a Queen!
Cate cannot re-write history. Time killed Chaos and created beauty. Kronos killed Uranus and from it's blood Aphrodite appeared. The fierce Big Bang energy cooled and ordered by Time created Beauty and everything else emerged after. Beauty precludes intelligence.
Eons after Uranus (heaven, chaos) faded into unknown, Kronos (time) fathered Zeus(power) which fathered Athena (wisdom). But Cate likes pretty little slogans which sound good and virtuous, taken probably from a book of good manners or something of the sort.
