Cate Blanchett says #MeToo was ‘killed quickly’ in Hollywood | Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett lamented that the #MeToo movement was “quickly killed” in Hollywood, speaking publicly. Cannes Film Festival.

In a series of interviews on Sunday, Blanchett lamented that the #MeToo movement has changed Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality.

“It was executed very quickly, which I think is fantastic,” Blanchett said.

“There are a lot of people who have platforms that can safely speak and say that this has happened to me.” And those who are called common women on the street, people on the street, they call me too. Why is this closed?”

In 2018, when she was president of the jury at Cannes, Blanchett took part in the red protest. She and 81 other women appeared on the steps of the Palais des Celebrationsrepresenting the number of female directors nominated for Cannes competition, compared to 1,866 male directors nominated during the same period.

“I’m still on film sets and I count every day. There are 10 women and there are 75 men every morning,” Blanchett said.

“I like men, but what happens in comedy is the same,” he said. “You have to be a little braver, and I’m used to that, but it’s just boring for everyone when you go into the same workplace. I think it affects the work.”

The year Blanchett was president of the jury, Cannes was criticized for including only three films directed by women in its shortlist of 21 films. Blanchett later defended the festival, saying change was not a “sudden event”.

Julianne Moore too he spoke at Cannes over the weekend about the gender gap in television, saying he believes the numbers have increased over the past decade.

Speaking at the Kering Women in Motion event on Saturday, Moore recalled that she was one of two women around in 2016. “I remember being on set not too long ago where the only women were me and the third AC (assistant camera),” she said. “It was when Hillary Clinton lost the election, and we were all upset. And I said ‘Look in the room. We’re the only ones here.’ I’ve seen a lot of gender representation in groups. It was unusual, when I was coming, to see women in the working class.”

On Sunday, Blanchett revealed will be in The Brutalist director Brady Corbet’s next filman “X-rated” episode set in the 1970s, along with Selena Gomez and Michael Fassbender.
