Here after Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech at the Oscar's several days ago...the parallels are absolutely uncanny. Both the films 'Julia' and 'Zone of interest' are about WW2 and the evils of the Nazis. In both speeches, both antisemitism and sionist aggression was denounced. In both cases, it took a great deal of courage. The only difference being, Glazer is jewish himself and was not booed, not on stage at least. And so, almost half a century later, maybe that was an improvement.

This is from 1978, while Gaza was Israel proper. It wasn't till 2005 that Gaza was emptied of Israelis so that Arabs could move in. It was called "land for peace" - that went well, didn't it? 😒 So your comment says nothing for your knowledge of history, and even less for all the halfwits who upvoted it.

Redgrave is easily one of the finest actresses ever to grace the screen. Most critics thought so, most actors think so. Listen to the things Meryl Streep has to say about her, and yes, I'm a BIG fan of Streep, but Vanessa is better and should have several Oscars, particularly for The Bostonians and Wheatherby. Two great subtle performances.

@@michelrodrigues5686 And you deserve to have your opinion as well. We'd better let Streep in on this one because apparently she disagrees with us. I guess it comes down to how we come to our decisions. Most people gage by awards. I guess since McDormand has three best actress Oscars many might now start saying she's better than Streep. They both have three, but Alan Rickman said it best: actors don't win Oscars, roles do, and this is so true, and echoed in a statement by the great Glenda Jackson who is as good as ANY who had e ever lived, and I summarize: Many who should have won didn't win because the role wasn't showy enough, and she ended it with a classic statement: they certainly don't make you act any better.

For a minute can we appreciate how charming and dashing John Travolta was in his 20s such a beautiful tone voice ♥️♥️♥️ On the same year Grease (1978)came and he became the heartthrob of millions girls.

Vanessa Redgrave, a renowned figure, encountered significant backlash around fifty years ago. Her career suffered repercussions when she fearlessly produced a documentary highlighting the injustices inflicted by Israel upon the Palestinian people. Despite facing severe criticism, she stood firm, refusing to retreat from her stance.

For nearly seven decades, Zionist influence stifled the voices of reason and rationality across the Western world. Anyone who dared to speak out was swiftly labeled an anti-Semite, their livelihoods imperiled. Consider Vanessa Redgrave's experience about fifty years ago-a prominent figure whose career faced relentless criticism and decline following her courageous production of a documentary shedding light on Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. Despite the backlash, she remained resolute, refusing to yield to intimidation. It's time to halt the genocide and advocate for the freedom of Palestine 🇵🇸.

From IMDb : "Sidney Lumet claimed that he wanted to cast Vanessa Redgrave in the film, but Paddy Chayefsky didn't want her. Lumet argued that he thought she was the greatest English-speaking actress in the world, while Chayefsky, a proud Jew and supporter of Israel, objected on the basis of her support of the PLO. Lumet, himself a Jew, said "Paddy, that's blacklisting!" to which Chayefsky replied, "Not when a Jew does it to a Gentile."

I would have objected on the grounds that I find watching her makes me queasy. She has a slithery voice, and her mouth wanders over her face in strange directions. But Chayefsky had the last word. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMuGZqqhur-Vcmg.html

He was very wrong! Altered states proved that. Redgrave would go on to bigger and better things. Paddy would be dead. So there's THAT.

"Truth to power"? WTF? DO YOU EVEN GRASP THE MEANING OF THE TERM YOU NIT? Speaking "Truth to power" isn't a matter of standing up in the middle of a bunch of like-minded folk and telling them what they freaking want to hear. Speaking Truth To Power is getting up in front of someone who can kill you at will and telling them the Truth, that they aren't the wonderful person they see themselves as. It's Jesse Owens looking Hitler in the eye as he took his gold medals. It isn't a stupid actress whining about some long-since forgotten event from a podium in downtown LA. Imbecile.

Normally, I detest when stars politicize their moment in the spotlight but not with this. Nowadays, it's the "cool" thing to do with celebrities and they proceed with these cringey, disingenuous rants in front of a room full of cheering supporters. Not Ms. Redgrave. This took serious guts and she did it with authenticity and grace to a room of stunned silence and boos. She's the real deal.
