Avisei a todos o anievsário de uma das atrizes que mais respeito: foi surpreendente saber que ela tem apenas 31 anos, bom indício de uma carreira futura (ainda) melhor. Vi, recentemente, seu desempenho em "Brilho Eterno de Uma Mente Sem Lembranças" e, novamente, ela me surpreendeu: a melhor atuação de 2004 (jardas à frente de Hilary Swank - que já estava disparada).

 

Se "A Grande Ilusão" não vier para o Brasil (ao menos, foi o que entedi) será de dar dó; até porque quarta-feira vi o trailer no cinema...

Kate Winslet e Hugh Jackman na premiere de Flushed Away !

Kate Winslet e Hugh Jackman escorregaram por um vaso sanitário inflável, de 9 metros de altura, para comemorar a pré-estréia do filme de animação da Dreamworks, Flushed Away (Por Água Abaixo), que conta a estória de um rato de alta sociedade, Roddy (dublado por Hugh Jackman), que acaba descendo pela descarga do vaso sanitário do apartamento onde mora, no luxuoso bairro de Kensington, em Londres, e nos esgotos. Ele se encontra com a batalhadora ratazana Rita (Kate Winslet).

O filme, dos criadores de Shrek e Madagascar também conta com personagens dublados por Ian McKellen, Jean Reno e Andy Serkis e é feito com a técnica claymotion (animação de massinhas) como A Fuga das Galinhas e Wallace & Gromit.

A pré-estréia ocorreu no dia 29 de outubro, na Lincoln Square em Nova Iorque.


P.S.: Nesse por incrível que pareça a Kate não fica pelada !!

A blast of fresh air

With

three films out in the space of six weeks, Kate Winslet is back, big

time. Christopher Goodwin finds her happy, feisty and bracingly direct

trans.gif

KATE

WINSLET arrives a few minutes late for our interview, breathlessly

apologetic. Taking off her coat and the big, round sunglasses that help

to render her anonymous on the streets of New York, she explains that

Joe, her two-year-old son by the director Sam Mendes, has recently

started showing signs of separation anxiety whenever she leaves him. A

couple of hours later, as I step out of the faux-French bistro where we

have met, in the Meatpacking District, I can empathise with Joe.

There’s something all-consuming about Winslet. Swearing like a

fishwife, slipping into mimicry as she tells stories, shrieking with

laughter, she’s a tempest of heartily expressed passions, all the while

holding the attention with those huge, pale-blue eyes.

*

As

she settles into a corner table and orders a latte, she tells me she’s

getting ready to go to London for the screening of her latest film,

Little Children, at the London Film Festival. She’s excited, and not

just about being in England for a few days: although she and Mendes

have a home in the Cotswolds, they have been spending more time in the

States over the past couple of years.

“I really do love this film, and I am so proud to be in it,” she

insists. “It takes my breath away a little bit. It’s quite new for me

to say, yes, I really love it. My English humble muscle usually kicks

in, and I tend not to express what I really feel, but it was the

hardest thing I have ever done and the thing I am proudest of.”

She’s not alone in her enjoyment. The film has had remarkably good

reviews in the United States, and Winslet’s performance — The New York

Times called her “as fine an actress as any working in movies today” —

is widely predicted to win her another Oscar nomination. It would be

her fifth. Winslet, who has just turned 31, was the first actress to

get four Oscar nominations before the age of 30. She’s been shortlisted

twice for best actress: Titanic, in 1998, and Eternal Sunshine of the

Spotless Mind, in 2005; and twice for best supporting actress: Sense

and Sensibility, in 1996, and Iris, in 2002.

In Little Children, she plays Sarah, an American housewife with a

young daughter, living in an apparently idyllic New England town that

is thrown into turmoil when a sex offender comes to live there.

Unhappily married to a successful, older man, Sarah doesn’t easily fit

in with the other suburban housewives, even though they all take their

children to the park most days. Sarah embarks on a relationship at the

town swimming pool with a sexy father, played by Patrick Wilson, who

looks after his son during the day. His wife is played by Jennifer

Connelly, whose cool beauty is held up in contrast with Winslet’s

frumpier looks. In this avowedly literary film, it’s not surprising

that the book club Sarah is invited to join is studying Madame Bovary;

nor that Sarah, who has a degree in literature, finds herself

expressing her sympathies for Flaubert’s tragic adulteress.

Little Children is directed by Todd Field, whose last, debut, film,

In the Bedroom, received five Oscar nominations in 2002. It is

reminiscent of other recent ruminations on the suburban American

dystopia, such as The Ice Storm, directed by Ang Lee (who directed

Winslet in her third film, Sense and Sensibility), and American Beauty,

directed by Mendes, Winslet’s second husband. They married in 2003.

Winslet’s first marriage, to the assistant director Jim Threapleton —

with whom she has a daughter, Mia, 6 — ended, in a tabloid frenzy, in

2001.

I don’t quite understand why Winslet found it so hard to play Sarah.

“This was the first time I’ve played a character I didn’t instantly

adore,” she says, leaning towards me, her blonde hair pulled back off

her face in a ponytail. Of course, as a man, I can be fooled about

these things, but she doesn’t seem to be wearing a lick of make-up.

What didn’t she like about her? “Well, she’s a shit mother, and yet the

trick for me was understanding why she was like that and finding my own

way of sympathising with her lack of maternal instinct. She’s also such

a sad person: she doesn’t quite know how she ended up living in this

place; she’s married to a man she certainly doesn’t love any more and

probably can’t figure out why the hell she married him in the first

place; and she has this small child. I don’t think, when she was

younger, this was the life she had planned for herself, but suddenly

she finds herself there and realises she has to escape. And I think the

balls it takes to take the first step is just incredible and says a lot

about who she really is — a daring and impulsive person she hasn’t been

for a very, very long time.”

As Winslet describes the surprising sympathy she ended up feeling

for Sarah, I can’t help wondering how much of her own life and

relationships — especially the feelings she must have had during her

first marriage — she brought to the role. “I did, subconsciously, draw

upon things in my own life,” she acknowledges, “but not just a specific

chunk of time or a couple of years in my life, or a particular

relationship. With Sarah, I’d consistently find things from way back,

from when I was very young, things I wasn’t even necessarily digging

for, which just kind of happened into the character.

“But it is a very tragic situation when you enter into something

thinking it’s right for you and very, very quickly realise it is

possibly the most wrong thing you could ever do. The sense of impending

doom: ‘F***! Is this it? Is this it? What about the plans I had?’ But

Sarah doesn’t do what I’m sure many women do in a situation like that

and say, ‘Oh, well, it’s not really me, but I suppose circumstances

dictate that I should fit in a little bit more.’ I admire that. And I

also relate to that. I suppose that is one of the specific similarities

between Sarah and me, because I’ve never liked to fit in or conform.

People say, ‘Do this because it would make life easier.’ F*** that!

I’ve never done it, and I’m certainly not about to start now.”

I am intrigued by the allusions to Madame Bovary in Little Children,

and the sense of Sarah as someone who knows her actions are taking her

beyond the pale of narrow-minded suburban morality. Winslet found out

what it was like to be treated as a social pariah by the British

tabloids after her split from Threapleton. Now that she’s able to look

back with equanimity, I wonder whether she knew at the time that ending

her marriage was going to be seen by the hellhounds of the red-top

press as crossing some kind of moral boundary.

“Until that point, they held me up as this down-to-earth English

rose who could do no wrong,” Winslet says. “What a disaster that was!

How dare I be so squeaky-clean? How dare I not put a needle in my arm

and fall over in a gutter in the middle of Soho? God, it’s good you can

laugh about it!” And it does feel good to be laughing with Winslet

about the worst time in her life. “Even when they tried to be really

mean to me — calling me fat — I was still unwaveringly determined to

say, ‘So what? Who cares? Get a life.’ So I stuck to my guns and held

on to myself by the seat of my pants — but the break-up of my marriage

was just horrific, obviously . . .” She trails off, clearly not sure

how much she really wants to reveal. But, of course, she does want

people to understand.

“Jim and I have never publicly talked about exactly what happened

and why,” she continues. “Nobody will ever know those things, but, of

course, to the press, it was my fault. It was all down to me, because I

was seen as the more powerful of the couple. I was the famous person,

and he was perceived as the poor little normal underdog I was treating

badly. Whatever. People just make their own judgments and assume what

they want to assume. It’s just the way it is. I kind of knew that was

going to happen, really.

“But it was very, very hard when they started to be specifically

mean about how I wasn’t a good mother.” Now she’s bristling. “There was

one article that suggested I wasn’t even with my child; that she was

with her dad. And at that stage, it was pretty f***ing tough, because I

was also facing a future of basically being a single mother; I hadn’t

met Sam. So that was really, really hard. Apart from the fact that I

was breast-feeding — I breast-fed Mia until she was about nine months

old — so she was at my side every minute of every day.”

She takes a sip of coffee. “People can throw anything at me they

want, and be as mean as they like,” she says, “but don’t mess with me

as a mother, because I will get out a knife and come after you!” (She

laughs now, by the way.) “Because that’s just not fair. Don’t make

stuff up about people, and don’t lie, and don’t be mean. It’s really

not fair. It’s a very vulnerable time when you’re a new parent. I was

young — I was 25. Having a kid is the single most incredible thing a

person can ever experience, but when you’re as young as that and going

through something as hard as a divorce, all you want to do is clutch

your child literally to your bosom and hope you’re doing everything

right. So it’s really not helpful to have the press doing you down. It

was really, really hard.”

It’s easy to see that Winslet is now prepared to talk about how

deeply the tabloid opprobrium affected her at the time because she has

settled so happily into her life with Mendes, with whom she has the one

son, Joe. But life with the Mendeses is not, as some might imagine,

luvvie heaven, with Sam and Kate poring over obscure Shakespeare folios

of a night. Still, I am surprised when she tells me that she and her

husband, the most famous British theatre director of his generation and

now an accomplished film director, seldom talk to each other about

their work.

“I think it’s a lot to do with the fact that we respect and admire

each other’s individual qualities,” she says. “I think as soon as you

start to pass judgment, it muddies that. The most I might very

occasionally do, and it’s very occasional, is get him to test me on my

lines if I have a particularly big scene. But I have to say to him,

‘Look, this is not how I’m actually going to do it,’ and he says,

‘Yeah, yeah, whatever — just shut up and get on with it.’ ”

They have never worked together. They met when Mendes asked her to

come to see him about starring in his farewell stagings of Twelfth

Night and Uncle Vanya at the Donmar Warehouse, in London.

“I didn’t do the plays — it was too much of a commitment with a very young baby — but I did marry him!”

One of the things Winslet decides for herself is whether to do

nudity. A generation of boys may have turned the unexpected glimpse of

her bountiful breast in Titanic into a lifelong fetish. But Winslet is

in her thirties now, has had two children and has often talked about

her struggles with her weight — although, when we meet, she looks in

remarkably fine fettle, notched into skinny jeans; more normal-shaped

than in her glamorous photo shoots, and definitely a full-figured

woman. There are nude scenes in both her new films: All the King’s Men,

a period drama set in the rough-and-tumble world of politics in the

American South in the 1950s, in which she stars with Sean Penn and Jude

Law; and Little Children. In the latter, Winslet spends much of the

first half in a tight and revealing red swimsuit, discarding it for

some ravenous sex scenes, including one in which she’s completely naked

on top of a washing machine in a basement, holding on to pipes above

her head as Patrick Wilson goes at her with shameless abandon.

“With All the King’s Men, in which there was a little bit of nudity,

I thought, ‘Well, that’s it; my nudity days are over,’ ” she says.

“I’ve got two kids; I can’t get away with it any more. It’s a very

uncomfortable thing to do. Then I read the script of Little Children

and thought, ‘This is really good, but there’s lots of nudity in it.’ I

knew the film wouldn’t work if those scenes weren’t there, though.

“I don’t want to say we had a laugh doing it, but you do have to

make light of something like that, because it’s so weird,” she adds.

“We’d do seven takes on top of the washing machine, with me holding

that f***ing pipe above my head, and he’d suddenly turn round to me and

go, ‘Hey, I’m Patrick; good to meet you. And you are?’ ”

You can

laugh about it, I say, but doesn’t it make you feel exposed,

vulnerable? “It is bizarre,” she admits. “To say you almost forget

you’re naked would be a lie, but you do get to a point where you get

over the embarrassment, because you are genuinely thinking about the

scene. We were much  more focused on getting the performances right,

not on, ‘Do my boobs look good?’ ”

She takes a deep breath, preparing to say something she obviously

feels passionate about. “Having had two children, it is very important

to me that women on film are portrayed as real women,” she says. “Women

that women in the audience can relate to and think, ‘I’m like that;

that looks real; that looks like me and all my friends.’ Sarah’s a

woman who’s had a child, so her body’s not going to be perfect. She’s

not going to have a six-pack; she’s not going to be free of

stretchmarks; she’s not going to have perfectly pert breasts. Nobody’s

perfect — I’m certainly not — so you do have to throw your hands up and

say, ‘This is me; therefore this is who she has to be, and I hope that

seems real.’ I hope people believe the film all the more because of how

real she seems in those moments. Oh, God, here I am still waving my

‘Hips for women’ banner. So f***ing tragic.”

What really is tragic, Winslet believes, and what gets her more

worked up than anything else in our conversation, is the effect that

unrealistic portrayals of women’s bodies in the media — skinny models

and the like — are having on girls and young women. “Well done,

everyone! Well done! Really clever of you to breed a whole new

generation of anorexics. Excellent! You’re not educating these young

women about the world, about poverty, about the environment or about

anything that’s interesting. You’re educating them about what lip gloss

to use, which clothes to wear . . . Brilliant!

“The majority of the clothes in these runway shows are being worn by

people who don’t have any flesh on their bones at all,” she fumes.

“What the hell is going on? It’s so frightening. It makes me so mad.

And these pro-anorexia websites? I can’t believe that stuff is allowed.

It’s just disgusting.”

However she may rail about the things that trouble her, Winslet

seems easy in her own skin these days. She comes from a large,

boisterous and close theatre family, who still live in Reading, and

she’s obviously finding great comfort in building a family of her own.

She has chosen not to work since she finished shooting the comedy The

Holiday, which also stars Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black, in

April, and she doesn’t have any plans to work again until next summer.

She’s worked constantly since her first screen outing, in Heavenly

Creatures, at 17. Now, apart from wanting to spend time at home with

her children and her husband, she says she needs “to refill my acting

toolbox, which feels a bit empty”. I hope she fills it soon.

fter we say goodbye, I watch Winslet walk off, just another figure

in the late-morning Manhattan crowds. And I realise I feel

disconcertingly becalmed. It’s as if I’ve just pitched through a

bracing but exhilarating nor’wester and have now entered the doldrums,

unsure which way the winds will blow me. Separation anxiety?

Duas coisas que achei no minimo estranho, quanto aos filmes  a sreme lancados da Kate:

 

1º - Porque só ela aparece no cartaz de Little Children? Cade a Jennifer Connely?

 

2º Nesse filme com a Cameron Diaz, que já plagia outro filme Tara Road, porque a Cameron pega o Jude Law e a Kate pega o Jack Black? Esse Jack Black, apesar de eu gostar delel, eh muito feio!

kate winslet e são patrick wilson interpretam os personagens principais da história. poderiam ter feito um cartaz diferente, incluindo jennifer connely. mas ela é coadjuvante, e eles resolveram colocar só os protagonistas.

 

2º Nesse filme com a Cameron Diaz' date=' que já plagia outro filme Tara Road, porque a Cameron pega o Jude Law e a Kate pega o Jack Black? Esse Jack Black, apesar de eu gostar delel, eh muito feio!

acho q é pelo efeito cômico criado por um casal improvável.

Fora que a personagem da Connely deve ter pouco destaque, pois nem estão colocando ela como coadjuvante nos For Your Consideration. Tão colocando outras duas atrizes no lugar. Ela deve ser esquecida totalmente.

 

2º Nesse filme com a Cameron Diaz' date=' que já plagia outro filme Tara Road, porque a Cameron pega o Jude Law e a Kate pega o Jack Black? Esse Jack Black, apesar de eu gostar delel, eh muito feio!

Acho que é em parte pelo fato dos americanos não acharem a Kate tão bonita assim. Fora que se colocassem o Black com a Diaz ia ficar muito forçado, e a própria diretora/roteirista disse ter escrito os 4 protagonistas com seus respectivos intérpretes (Diaz, Winslet, Black, Law) na cabeça. E sabe-se lá o que passa na cabeça dos outros seres humanos.

Também acho que a Kate não combina com o Black, o cara parece um sapo. O phoda é que ele só ta pega beldades, (Paltrow em O Amor é Cego e agora a Kate).

 

E outra, a Kate já fez par romantico com Jude Law em A Grande Ilusão, e ele estava sendo cotado pra ser par da Kate em Little Children, dai acho que pra não repetir o casal três vezes, ficou assim.
