George Clooney rebukes 'authoritarians' in Venice Golden Lion speech
GEORGE CLOONEY: "The first people that authoritarians try to shut down are not politicians. They're journalists who ask questions, they're the artists who refuse simple answers, the filmmakers, writers, actors and musicians who insist that someone you never met is deserving of your empathy."
George Clooney states that authoritarians first target journalists and artists, not politicians. He explains that these individuals are suppressed because they ask difficult questions and refuse to provide easy answers. Clooney emphasizes that filmmakers, writers, actors, and musicians are silenced for advocating empathy towards strangers.
- Authoritarians initially target journalists and artists.
- These individuals are silenced for questioning and refusing simple answers.
- Filmmakers, writers, actors, and musicians are among those targeted for promoting empathy.
