Julianne Moore ruffled some feathers online after saying she doesn’t like movies with “explosions and guns.”<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with Variety<\/a> at the Kering Women in Motion Talk at the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>, the 65-year-old actress sparked backlash when she shared the kinds of projects she is interested in acting in at this point in her career, saying she is “less and less interested in tragedy.”<\/p>\n

“Particularly now at a time when things are really rough globally, it\u2019s very difficult for me to invest in a story that I think is pretend, where I feel like the depth of the emotion, the measure of it, doesn\u2019t measure up to what\u2019s happening in the world. And I don’t feel like I want to engage in it,” she said.<\/p>\n

She detailed reading scripts or watching other films and noticing “when something is there for stakes,” adding, “I don’t like easy stakes.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t like someone being murdered. I don\u2019t like explosions and guns. I don\u2019t like histrionics. I don\u2019t like things that raise the stakes without real feeling underneath,” she said. “I mean, that actually bothers me because that\u2019s like noise. I don\u2019t know how to play it. I don\u2019t want to watch it.”<\/p>\n

After a clip of the interview was shared on X<\/a>, many fans took issue with Moore’s statement in the comments section, with many pointing out she has starred in multiple movies<\/a> with guns and violence.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve lost count how many movies she\u2019s done with guns,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Funny how artists forget their own catalog until it\u2019s time to virtue signal.”<\/p>\n

Another fan shared, “That\u2019s great! Now playback all the degenerate, violent entertainment Julianne has happily participated in throughout her career.”<\/p>\n

A fourth fan wrote, referencing the sequel to “Silence of the Lambs,” which tells the story of serial killer Hannibal Lecter, writing, “A man had his skull removed in Hannibal, and brain eaten.”<\/p>\n

While many took issue with her comments, others came to her defense, with one writing, “Julianne Moore choosing emotion over chaos is exactly why she\u2019s respected worldwide.”<\/p>\n

“I actually agree with her! We already have enough violence in the world! We need good family values in movies back!! Good family fun!! And the movie theaters will be full again! We want to go to the theaters but there\u2019s not enough quality movies going out! That\u2019s why The Devil Wears Prada<\/a> was great,” another said.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Moore has faced backlash, as Vili Fualaau, who gained national attention for his illicit relationship and marriage with his sixth-grade teacher in the late 1990s, took issue with her film, “May December,” which told a similar story, calling the project a “ripoff” of his life.<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, Moore maintained when speaking to Entertainment Tonight in January 2024, that throughout filming the movie, director Todd Haynes was “always very clear when we were working on this movie that this was an original story \u2026 a story about these characters.”<\/p>\n

“So that’s how we looked at it too,” Moore said. “This was our document. We\u00a0created these characters from the page and together.”<\/p>\n

Moore won an Academy Award<\/a> in 2015 for her leading role in “Still Alice,” in which she played a woman dealing with her early onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She was previously nominated for her roles in “Boogie Nights,” “The End of the Affair,” “The Hours” and “Far From Heaven.”<\/p>\n

The actress was at the Cannes Film Festival as the recipient of the Kering\u2019s Women in Motion Award, an award which is presented to an actress who has helped advance the role of women in society and film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
