Sigourney Weaver supports Kamala Harris at the Film Festival in Venice

Sigourney Weaver, the legendary actress, expressed passionate support for Kamala Harris, the democratic US presidential candidate, at the opening of the 81st International Film Festival in Venice. During a press conference in the Italian city, the 74-year-old Weaver said: "We are all so enthusiastic about Kamala. It has been a difficult time since 2016 and we are all very grateful for them." This praise came at a moment when the US policy and the upcoming election on November 5, 2024 were in the minds of many.

The reference to 2016, when Donald Trump won the presidential elections, suggests a deep concern of the actress in relation to the political challenges that the United States has been standing since then. These comments were initiated by a journalist who asked if Weaver believed that the medium of film had an impact on Harris' chances as president. Weaver was not afraid to stand up for the matter of the politician, which shows how much the influence of celebrities on the voters can also be felt before the elections.

a moving moment for Weaver

Weaver, famous for their role in the cult film "Alien", was celebrated several times during the festival for their pioneering work in the presentation of strong women's characters. These roles are often complex and deviate from the usual clichés that society likes to project onto women. When she was confronted with these compliments, the actress could not hold her emotions back and thanked her visibly. "So many women come to me and thank you ...", she said, before her voice failed and she forgives tears.

With a hint of humor, she asked, "Sorry, I need my vodka" before she took out of a water bottle. The joke not only shows their down -to -earthness, but also how important the support of other women is for them. She added: "I am always asked why I 'strong women' play. My reaction is always: this is such a strange question. Because I just play women. And women are strong and women don't give up. Know why? Because we can't afford it. We have to do it."

The reception of the golden lion for her life's work, which is awarded that evening, represents another highlight in the actress's career. Weaver is not only an icon of cinema, but also a voice that stands for many women. Their commitment in both the film industry and in the support of political leaders such as Harris shows how narrow art and society are linked.

In summary it can be said that Sigourney Weavers in Venice not only represent personal support for Kamala Harris, but also take a look at the responsibility of artists to use their platform in order to address important social issues. Your career and commitment to strong female figures offer inspiration for future generations of actresses and women in all areas of life.
