The left wing of US politics can always be discussed on European parameters. Sometimes it looks more centre-right. this is not the case Susan Sarandonpresents today in Barcelona to receive the BCN Film Fest’s honorary award. He will be interviewing the attendees of the screening of the movie ‘This Monday (Verdi cinemas, 19:30).Thelma and Louise’ is a 1991 film that has become one of the cinematographic flags of new feminism. Sarandon truly represents Hollywood leftism.
His rhetoric about the current America is strong. Supporting Barak Obama at the time, he is very critical of Joe Biden’s current presidency and Warning about Donald Trump’s “resurrection”: “Re-election is really a very big possibility,” he said in a small meeting with some media outlets. “After the train crash in Ohio last February, Trump went to where the tragedy took place. Biden did not do this, and he is losing the support of the working middle class, which once again feels very insecure. It does not seem good. People are very angry and wonder why the government is spending so much money on weapons for the war in Ukraine when healthcare is so bad in the US.
Stronger, impossible. But also, thanks to titles like “The Rocky horror movie show” and “El ansia,” Sarandon has finally become an icon for LGTBIQ+ groups. He likes the idea that songs like “Creature of the night scene” from the soundtrack of “The Rocky horror picture show” become symbols of gay and trans groups. ‘Thelma and Louise’ will become “symbols of feminism”It was a great take on what the movie meant on an ideological level, working with another actress, driving on the highway, through the Grand Canyon.” Sarandon realizes that you have to be mindful of what you shoot, the way you represent certain stereotypes, violence, homophobia on screen. Cinema, worse still, amplifies the most reactionary commonplace.
The beginning of #MeToo
It answers the question of whether it can be considered “historically, without a doubt”.Thelma and Louise’ pioneer of the #MeToo movementdespite remembering what happened with trans people in places like , Texas and making us worse off than before. Sarandon advocates emancipation films that fight the shame certain groups feel for expressing their decisions and behavior.
In this sense, it is not surprising that “mother, activist and actress” is defined in this order.. Activist before actress? “I maintain that order of precedence, always a mother and an activist taller than an actress.” His daughter, Eva, is married to a ‘football player’ and he checks it out, making his point: “In the United States, women’s soccer has more audiences than men’s soccer.”
From Billy Wilder to the Wachowski brothers
He has worked with notable directors: Billy Wilder – in one of his first appearances, ‘Primera flata’ (1974) –, Ridley and Tony Scott, Louis Malle, Paul Mazursky, Georges Miller, the Wachowski brothers, Tim Robbins – his partner since 1988 to 2009 until–, Robert Benton, Oliver Stone, Peter Jackson or Robert Redford. Although he took part as a producer in some TV series and films, such as ‘Feud’, where he played Bette Davis. He doesn’t like the idea of directing.: “I don’t feel the urge to do it for now. I couldn’t have a good time. It requires a lot of patience. I’ve been ‘managing’ my family for years”.
‘Thelma and Louise’ is one of his most iconic works, but ‘Thelma and Louise’He won an award for Tim Robbins’ movie The Death Penalty. Oscar What was his fifth nomination in 1996?. The selection of such films is associated with Sarandon’s idea of conveying important messages with cinema. Remember the great freedom of “The Rocky horror movie” and the bond formed with the character of the nun who empathizes with a condemned criminal in “The Death Penalty.”
His films such as ‘Pasión sin barreras’ (1990) and the little-known ‘3 generations’ (2015), which describe the relationship between two characters separated by age and cultural differences, stand out. The mother of a single mother (Naomi Watts) whose transgender daughter (Elle Fanning) wants to transgender is “an important movie for people who are confused about sexual transition.” Always consistent.
