was “a fantastic addition to the royal family,” and she “applauds” Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to step back from royal duties, she tellsMirren, who is the subject of an homage at the Berlin Film Festival this week and will receive the festival’s Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement on Thursday, says of the couple’s decision to withdraw from the royal family: “I think their instincts are absolutely right, and I applaud them for it. Hugely actually. Of course, it is complicated.
“But I always said when I was asked that question, and I still believe it, don’t worry about women’s profiles in drama, although you should, but worry about women’s profiles in life – in politics, in particular, and in the professions – and fight for that, and to a certain extent I was right because that world changed, and as night follows day drama and culture – us looking at ourselves through drama, through art – has changed, because they are looking at a different world.
Mirren has been to the Berlin Film Festival a few times, most recently in 2015 with “Woman in Gold,” and she regards it with a certain reverence, so her Honory Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement, and to be the subject of an homage for her work, means a great deal to her. “The Berlin film audiences are highly educated and very critical. They are not impressed by Hollywood. They are very discerning,” she says. “So you take a film to Berlin with a certain amount of trepidation.
“I’m a member of the European Film Awards group and get incredible pleasure from seeing extraordinary European films every year, many of which never get to be seen outside their own country, that are incredible pieces of filmmaking. Mirren regards drama – theater, television and cinema – as more than just a form of entertainment, but as a serious art-form, through which we can explore how we as humans think and behave. She says most Hollywood movies she saw as a young person didn’t impress her, but when she discovered European films that changed her perspective on what could be achieved through cinema.
How much was Helen Mirren paid to say this? Is Helen happy to pay for Meghans security invoice? Megxit MeghanAndHarry HelenMirren
Maybe she might have been if she had stayed. We’ll probably never know now.
I wouldn’t know Helen I offered Meg a brewski and she totally shot me down, but...and I’m just spitballing a guess here, Miss Markle would have made a “Fantastic addition” to my family as well.
Women uplifting women and acknowledging a couple standing up to bullying and smears. Thank you Helen Mirren for this public support for Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry.👍🙏Sussexstrong
Who cares!!
Yeah right. Like a sabre.
The family that she had him leave, that is!
Sarcasm
Was she attached to a lie detector when she said that? It would have exploded if so.
Nobody cares about Hollywood opinions. Meghan Markle is an awful woman.
