    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 happenned in 1978- LOng before the situation in Gaza. At least she didn't say- I disavow my Judiasm. Well, she wasn't Jewish. Interestingly, that most of the Pro-Pals and ARabs until recently denied the Holocaust ever happenned and claimed the Zionists aka The Jews made it up. Now most of the Pro-pals (Although the ?Syurian President recently made a speech in which he cast doubt on the Validity of the Holocaust) amit it happen, but say the Zionists- aka the Jews are the New Nazis.

    • @lesleyvivien2876
      @lesleyvivien2876 6 месяцев назад

      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? 😒

    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. Look up that interview on RUclips.

She had the guts to use the highlight of her career not to brag but to stand up and tell the people the truth about what a terrible cancer Israel and the mangy Zion are. She did so calmly, with grace, with her head held high, as she told a scandalized audience the truth about USA's beloved pet Israel.

    1- Vanessa Redgrave totally deserved this one.
    2- Vanessa Redgrave was 100% right in her speech and Paddy Chayefsky was a total moron afterwards, esp. considering his comments regarding the "Network" casting a year prior. Great screenwriter, though.
    3- Nice that they introduced Travolta to the tune of "You Should Be Dancing" instead of more obvious "Saturday Night Fever" hits.

      Paddy Chayefsky was such a bitch he didn’t have the balls to say ‘I disagree with her politics’ which was blatantly and had to rephrase it as ‘she should be quiet’. Dude claimed to be against McCarthyism and then worked to blacklist Redgrave.

    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.

    • @SAYYAMTAMIM
      @SAYYAMTAMIM 10 месяцев назад +1

      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 🇵🇸.

    Vanessa Redgrave is one of the greatest actresses in the world. Her record of magnificent performances both on the stage and screen still remains unequalled. I well remember her acceptance speech as she delivered it that day, but I never understood the furor it generated. Her words are those of a person who is personally committed to the fight against opression, prejudice and fascist ideologies in our time. I respect her for being so brilliant in her work and so brave in her personal attitude towards bigotry and injustice.

      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.

    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."
