Cate Blanchett: Last News

Cate Blanchett says there is a danger that society will be “destined to repeat” its mistakes if we continue to follow cancel culture.Blanchett, who has recently faced accusations of being ‘anti-woman’ following the release of new movie TÁR, made her thoughts on the boycotting movement clear in a recent interview. The Titanic actor argues that it’s important to continue studying history and art (amongst other things) even if they might be deemed controversial or “problematic” today.She told The Radio Times (as per The Independent): “If you don’t read older books that are slightly offensive because of what they say in a historical context, then you will never grapple with the minds of the time [and] we are destined to repeat that stuff.”She continued her argument by highlighting the example of an artist who would be deemed highly problematic by our standards as a society today.

Angelique Jackson It’s a Sunday evening in London in early February and two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett is freshly changed from an award show when she logs onto a Zoom with Noora Niasari, the writer and director behind “Shayda,” the powerful Sundance award-winning film executive produced by Dirty Films, the production company co-founded by Blanchett. “I’m so happy. It’s fantastic. It’s great for Todd [Field], it’s so great for the film,” Blanchett says as she fields congratulations on accepting the London Critics Circle’s best actress prize. “And I just read that Viola Davis became an EGOT!” The topic of awards is the conversation du jour this time of year because awards are capital in the entertainment business — and Blanchett knows a thing or two about this topic, with eight Oscar nominations to her name. Ultimately, the accolades help a film reach audiences far and wide. In the case of “Shayda,” for example, winning the World Dramatic Competition’s audience elevates the film from an intimate production that might’ve only sparked in Australia to a global platform, especially now that it has a major distributor.
