Cate Blanchett: From Oscar-winning acting to refugee advocacy | Talk to Al Jazeera

[@vokkm9bile548]

Cate Blanchett is my favorite actress, she is sublime!

[@Marc-13]

She was mine too. Now I can't watch her and lost my respect for her. She looks so incredible bad due to all the stuff she does with her face. There is nothing real on her.

[@allisonbergamini6299]

It is easy to marginalize world stage issues that are removed from our daily perspective. It is wonderful to see that this actor has lent her voice to putting as she put it a face to a large scale issue for such a large group of people. I am also so impressed how eloquent Ms. Blanchett is in regard to her perspective. It reinforces the ideal that doing good is a good thing.

[@every___second]

a woman whose heart is as wonderful as her appearance. we'll always root for you, cate blanchett! 🩷

[@MirandaPave]

Hmm…

[@Marc-13]

I don't think that's the case. She does everything to make people believe she is like that. The only things that matters for her are: money, publicity, plastic surgeries, botox, fame and likability.

[@MirandaPave]

@@Marc-13 botox, fame and likability. p much.

[@Marc-13]

@@MirandaPave everything fake about her

[@MirandaPave]

@@Marc-13 yeah I wish it weren’t true. And most of the time it’s just easier to believe what you want to. Just makes it hard to have any kind of faith or respect for humanity idk.

[@hulahop5655]

Listening to Cate is always a great pleasure and an intellectual feast

[@rics1883]

Greatest living actress!

[@Marc-13]

Yes, couldn't agree more, but also can't look at her nowadays. Her transformation due to plastic surgery and botox is awful.

[@LiberalismcelebratesDeath]

Aljazeera why do you want to change the west demographically? Where are your people advocating for refugees to be allowed into Qatar?

Мне Кейт Бланшетт австралийская актриса вроли Галадриэль эльфийской королевы из властелин колец понравилась я ее обжаю очень сильно вроли Галадриэль эльфийской королевы

[@mastercheif1989]

Yeah she should open her home to them.

[@anibrown5374]

Cate, in displaying a purely domestic and emotional view around human migration and the needs, not rights, of individual humans completely ignores basic realities. Concentration of wealth in developed, politically stable parts of the world can cannot be expected to provide the land, water, energy, homes, education, health, and useful life-affirming work for populations of displaced people escaping miserable lives. Individual stories around community and resilience lift us all, however, if greatly enriched humans were prepared to downsize their own lives the practicalities would not change. Humans finding their lives depleted over years if not generations pushing back are not in-humane, selfish, or xenophobic, where ever in the world they happen to reside.

[@aftarsun]

She is talking about rights though. She's referring to international convention and how it should be a collective effort to support refugees. And it's not about rich individuals or families being expected to downsize their lives and open up homes - she's talking about support at the government level. Though yes, as an ambassador (not a policymaker) I think she's just saying her role is really more on helping to shed light and keep these issues in the national conversation in part through conveying stories and experiences. That doesn't mean the solution itself is such a granular one. And of course these things are complicated and require carefully calibrated policies - that's for the governments to work on.

[@SuzannaKiraly]

Yeah, there is only so much that Europe can do to help. There is really not enough room for all the people that would want to come to Europe. And why should Europe have to take in a lot of refugees from various countries, like in the Middle East? Is the Middle East taking in a lot of refugees from Ukraine? I doubt it. The various areas of the world need to solve their own problems as they develop. Europe has had to solve it's own problems too, like when it had wars.

[@anibrown5374]

@@aftarsun'carefully calibrated policies' from the eyrie view. Conveying stories and experiences will not expand land mass or divert resources (water, energy, food, shelter) from developed countries to accommodate the desires, not rights, of vast numbers of migrating humans to have the same. Making people lives better through collective action, now that is an entirely different conversation and we are not having it, here. Ask yourself why in the 21st century people still live without water, sanitation and shelter?

[@aftarsun]

@@anibrown5374 I'm not disagreeing with you. Those things work hand in hand. These UN Ambassadors typically go out to the field and then they meet with policymakers (which is exactly what Cate did recently with her trip to Jordan then DC). They also continue to advocate for these issues, again to keep them top of mind and to push for action from governments (which is what she's doing in this interview by mentioning the need for collective effort from the international community). But yes what's ultimately needed is for governments to actually do their part. That's the reality though, the UN can only push so far lol

Cate Blanchett, What about Palestinians refugees living in the camps over 70 years? Didn’t you meet them? 🤔😢🙁😠😡

She can't endanger her jude dominated hollywood career

[@billwalton4571]

those poor and pathetic little refugees are so much lesser than Cate Blanchett

[@Marc-13]

Botox and the nose surgery doesn't make her look better, just worse. Her uniqueness is gone, she looks completely different in the last couple of years.

[@allisonbergamini6299]

I'm not sure how your statement has anything to do with this complex issue. I continue to be so saddened by the look that an individual always outshines the work, deeds, etc.

[@marianauribe2634]

It's all you took from this video? She's entitled to do whatever she wants to do with her body. Who cares?!

[@Marc-13]

@@allisonbergamini6299 My comment has nothing to do with the issue, but I didn't watched the video, because it's with Cate Blanchett.

[@Marc-13]

@@marianauribe2634 I didn't watched the video, because I can't look at her due to the things she had done to her face. If she appears in a video, I don't watch it, no matter how important the topic seems to be. Most of the time, celebrities like her only uses it for their own fame and publicity.

[@marianauribe2634]

@@Marc-13 Why do you know and care she had done things to her face? You don't like her, but search and comment videos about her? Usually when people don't like someone, they don't try to find any information about that person. Focus your energy to important and positive things in life. 😉
