Hollywood star Cate Blanchett said that society "needs" to have "tough conversations," even if people are scared to share their views.

바카라Culturally, we are terrified of tough conversations. Boss to employee. Employee to boss. Friend to friend. But we need them,바카라 said Blanchett.

바카라We talk about radical candour, but when there바카라s a trigger warning in front of something, you are implying that there is a lack of mutual respect or that the subject hasn바카라t been properly interrogated,바카라 she told Sunday Times Culture magazine.

The actress found it "thrilling" when her movie 'Tar' was tagged offensive in some quarters because she isn't interested in "happy agreement" and only positive feedback about her work.

She said: 바카라That was the most thrilling thing. You don바카라t want a film about which everybody is going to say, 바카라Well done.바카라 When people debate it, it바카라s absolutely thrilling. 바카라Tar' was challenging, but travelled on the wave of the audience and not all the conversations were positive.바카라

바카라They don바카라t need to be, just respectful. I don바카라t want happy agreement.바카라

Despite seeing the highs of highs in her career, Blanchett feels that she is always at risk of "failure" with every new project, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"(Films like 'The Good German' were seen by) about two and a half people 바카라 Clooney and me, speaking German? And that opening the Berlin Film Festival? Mistake."

"There are films millions see, but then simply move on to the next thing. Some films are a slower burn, but you always have to risk failure 바카라 that바카라s the case with every project.바카라
