We love Cate Blanchett so much

It’s that this actress – and producer with a skilful hand – goes through a list of films with stories of such register and such nuances that one, a film buff since too young, abandons himself to this 53-year-old Australian years and one meter seventy-four without conditions.

It is true that cinema challenges the judgment of the spectator, of the spectator with arbitrariness and force: who determines what is good and what is not? jerry lewis, is a convincing example of this with his traditional technique of slapstick: huge teeth, grimaces and a wig for the construction of total fame and a corresponding fortune. One can be considered as an imbecile forced to laugh with this repertoire, or as a great actor if one starts from the review carried out by the magazine “Cahiers du cinema”, where critics, later transformed into very good directors, have found, praised and judged a creator. Well, come on. But with Cate – let me tell you Cate – she jumps over any obstacle and convinces with such grace and intelligence, with such ability that the character played is real and inhabits us for about two hours without breaking the pact sacred: we accept that everything is true, we honor it. Only the best actors get it. So we call them artists

Almost without us noticing, Cate has won two Oscars – “Blue Jasmine”, directed by the canceled and great Woody Allen, for the heinous crime of pedophilia never proven and acquitted but already with the heavy crockery of “Me too”, and for Best Supporting Actress in Scorsese’s “The Aviator” with DiCaprio. The Baftas are added in 2014, 2019 and 2023 and brand new for us “Tár”, which is among the most likely towards the third Oscar. The BAFTAs, awarded by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. And a Coupe Volpi- And a Goya, I don’t know, everything: Cate Blanchett it encompasses everything, so accessible, so close, that a star which cannot be exercised emerges from it. Is she, at the same time, a hot and sexy actress? It could be both what makes and what rings an erotic bell. If there were an election in this regard, I would vote yes backwards and popcorn who invented acrobatics with a ball and the word applied to football fans.

There’s more power in the eyes, something vaguely Asian and light blue, the ominous body and the smile, which isn’t the one made by a ten thousand dollar dentist, than a Playboy picture or a porn with the guys downstairs and the actresses – a specialty – doing the best they can. I’m not saying it, I’m not judging or qualifying, but Cate Blanchett, ripe fruit and superior actress, wins for something you can’t say what it is. Better, maybe.

Her roles are, as for the Milky Way, innumerable and varied: there is no “type” for Cate Blanchett. I’ve seen a lot of them and I prefer “Blue Jasmin” and “Elizabeth”. I add to the spades “Carol”, almost cult, and “Tár” these days. In both roles, Blachett is lesbian, albeit in different ways.

In ‘Carol‘ is a slow step-by-step seduction from a well-dressed, wealthy woman to a department store clerk in 1950s New York, directed by Todd Haynes: Oscar and Best Supporting Actress for each character, blended well with Patricia Highsmith’s novel, The Admirable, The Terrible. The two will become involved in a relationship that will bring gunpowder. And in “Warehouse”, Cate is the prodigious conductor of great classical orchestras, consecrated and famous who arrives in one of the most important theaters – the firm Todd Fields, scriptwriter and producer also – Lydia Tár. This is where the murky, murky waters of how Tár is a lesbian with no major issues, and her power fits the definition of whoever wields it: conducting a symphony to start shaking with Mahler’s fifth . The great Tár, says Todd Fields, “couldn’t have been done without Cate.

Cate’s superhuman ability and verisimilitude were astounding. She is a teacher”. Of course, in “Tár” they preferred to call her “master” and it is revealed – she has a devoted lover, beautiful music and an adopted daughter – that the woman can be -also?- cruel , ruthless and able to change command and legend of sex when it comes to trainees trying to join the orchestra.In this diary, it is worth seeking the analysis from a gender and social point of view, as well as artistic, in a text by Mercedes Funes, and the film already had six mentions when the awards for the big ceremony with the red carpets were announced.

How can we not love Cate Blanchett so much, to whom she does not give us a life of brokenness and tumult, so useful as a facilitator for those who sometimes write these necessities: married for twenty years to producer Andrew Upton, they have four children, a production company called “Dirty films-translate it please-all in order and a good time. Sometimes he says he wants to leave now, the weather is not favorable to the actors.

Let’s hope not. In these circumstances, we could organize a protest operation, if you want.
