The actress posted a long plea for climate and animal causes on her Instagram account. A shocking video with a particularly provocative tone.
A sharp request. Sophie Marceau, who is known for her faithful positions, spoke again this Friday, October 21, in a video published on her Instagram page. Faced with inaction against global warming, the actress angrily decries the injustices and abuses of the greedy ruling class in Mathieu Colin’s text.
Subtly captioned “A Little Reminder Shot,” the 5-minute clip is a lengthy prayer for environmental and animal causes. The intention here is to blame the selfish behavior of humanity that has become destructive.
And the tone is rough to say the least. The first few seconds of the video seem very consensual at first, as they extol the pristine beauty of the snow-capped mountains, virgin to any human presence, as a symbol of the purity of an increasingly endangered world. Next, we see World Apnea Champion Arthur Guerin Boyer braving the frigid temperatures of a frozen lake. This intro, similar to many nature documentaries, is actually quite ironic as rather raw images of a much less photogenic planet follow one after the other. “Well, it’s nice, but we’re a little bored,” Sophie Marceau’s soft voice cuts in, showing some anger.
A little girl, who here embodies the future of our humanity, begins to label the terrestrial globe as a metaphor for the resulting pollution. “Blah blah blah,” he says nonchalantly, in front of an archive of President Jacques Chirac’s famous speech at the United Nations, declaring “Our house is burning and we are looking elsewhere.” “Oh, to look elsewhere, we looked elsewhere, and always with our heads down above everything else,” our voice squeaks before adding: “But what do you think, do I have time to take care of the climate?”
Bitter ironies follow one another. “Better to use as if we had three planets, it seems we’re finding a lot of extra spares so we can take full advantage of them.” On the topic of animals. “We had some pretty intrusive roommates and these ungrateful people started complaining, so we decided to make room,” amid images of animals in agony, such as a polar bear, a sea. a turtle caught in a net or executions in slaughterhouses. The same little girl picks up the ax and each time it hits, blood spurts out, seemingly finishing off the creature.
Then this regular thread character sets the world on fire after being doused in gasoline; “We decided to turn up the heat a bit and did it goddamn well,” Marceau comments. Archives of war and natural disasters are on parade, while the little girl now plays the conductors of a destructive civilization;
In the video, Sophie Marceau’s unforgettable performance at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999.
The earth finally explodes. “Blue is boring,” we hear. In front of images of astronauts, Sophie Marceau asks: “And you, do you have the means to go to Mars?” Sarcasm referring to Elon Musk’s Space X project, which aims to colonize the red planet.
Titled “The Blue Planet Sees Red”, this video, shot by the production company Konio, has the slogan “Support the climate soldiers”. It is indeed intended to promote the actions of France’s firefighters, who of course claim to be fire soldiers, but also climate soldiers.
