I'm proud of France because of the gold Palm

Sean Penn, is not someone who laughs easily, I have seen a lot of shows or a stupid french journalist tried to talk to Sean, but without success.
I feel we can appreciate Sean with his movies, or acts.
There is an article of Canadian Journalism about Sean Peen in Cannes.

Cannes: Sean Penn wants to make "the opposite" of Oscars

There is 1 day

PARIS - Sean Penn, who chairs the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, seeks to "emancipate the effects of mode" to "be honest" and "the opposite of the Academy of Oscars" in drawing up the charts, waited sunday.

"We must do everything the opposite of the Academy Awards, whose winners are a consummate art of manipulation, a very good marketing," he explained in an interview with the newspaper Le Monde dated Sunday-Monday.

If a general emphasis is placed on the cinematic experience "in the broadest sense," political questions are raised by each member of the jury from films or elements that film, on the surface, are not, "said the actor.

He confesses in this regard be "happy not having to serve" the jury to 2004, which was chaired by Quentin Tarantino, was awarded the Palme d'Or to Michael Moore for his anti-Bush film "Fahrenheit 9 / 11. "

"If I had been in his place, this case would have tortured."

Whether the Palme served the cause of Michael Moore, Sean Penn wants to be realistic: "He lost his battle, like all those who fought against the war in Iraq, including me."

Still surprised that we entrust the responsibility of the Cannes jury "to an American, whatsoever," he confides be "embarrassed by the idea of competition" and do not always "see as many films on the same day. "

"I'm not a cinephile. I'm not going to so many times in film," continued the actor, prices of interpretation at Cannes in 1997 for his role in "She's so lovely" and Oscar winner in 2004 for his performance in "Mystic River".

Citing a "very good harvest of films" at this 61st edition, the chairman of the jury "just regret that no more comedies in the competition." He attributed the under-representation of such a "mistrust of distributors who fear that exposure Cannes adversely affect their film" but also "snobbery who wants a comedy can not be a great movie."

Satisfied with his experience to head the jury, he asserts, however, that his best memory of Cannes dates back to 1984, "the first time I've come." It was his first trip to Europe: "Nobody knew me. I drank a lot, I saw one movie: 'Once upon a time in America'. I am amused as a fool, I walked everywhere. ""
