Actress Jane Fonda surpassed some audio problems on Sunday night (23) to encourage activism at SAG Awards. She was awarded the whole work at the event, and the 87 -year -old actress remembered the audience: “It’s okay to be a Late Bloomer as long as you don’t miss the flower show.” “Late Bloomer” is an English expression for flowers that bloom later, a metaphor for those who achieve success or show their older talents.
“I am a late Bloomer. This is the flower show, ”she said, gesturing to her statuette. “Yes. I love acting. We can open people’s minds to new ideas, take them beyond what they understand from the world and help them laugh when things are difficult, like now. ”
The woman who is both activist and star then reminded the world her political passions, including saying she is “a great defender of the unions.” “And this is really important now, when workers’ power is being attacked and the community is being weakened,” said Fonda.
Fonda then pointed out that SAG, which means Screen Actors Guild, is different from other unions, as the actors do not create something tangible, but “create empathy.” She shared some of her visions about acting, including that “although you can hate your character’s behavior, you need to understand and empathize with the traumatized person who is playing, right?” Oscar Sebastian Stan starring in Donald Trump in the movie “The Appress.”
“Make no mistake, empathy is not weakness or Woke,” noted Jane Fonda. “And by the way, Woke only means that you care about other people.”
The actress, a declared critic of US President Donald Trump, also referred to current events.
“Many people will be really harmed by what is happening, what is coming from us,” she said. “And even if they are of a different political persuasion, we need to appeal to our empathy and not judge, but listen with our hearts and receive them in our tent, because we will need a big tent to successfully resist what is coming in our direction.”
The two Oscar winner made references to striking events in history, such as the movement for civil rights, and added: “we are in our documentary moment.” She ended up offering words of encouragement, saying, “There will still be beauty, and there will be a real ocean to swim on the other side.
