Meryl Streep says financial corruption detailed in 'Laundromat' is a 'black-hearted joke' VeniceFilmFestival
The actress also spoke of grief being"a great motivator" in discussing how parents of school shooting victims will never stop"trying to change the world."Meryl Streep plays a retiree, Ellen Martin, on holiday with her husband to celebrate their 40th anniversary. An unexpected tragedy hits and Martin is widowed.
Streep reminded audiences that although the film was a comedy, the issues at hand are indeed life-threatening issues. "This is a funny way of telling a very, very dark, black-hearted joke, a joke that’s being played on all of us. It’s a crime, not without victims. And many of them are journalists.
Soderbergh very aptly draws a connection from the Panama Papers to Trump’s tax plan, as both a reminder that the U.S. can also serve as a tax haven and a statement that the system today is built to protect the very rich. "In the year 2000 the top 1 percent controlled a third of the world’s wealth. They now control half. So you’re essentially looking at maybe 50 people who control more wealth than the bottom 3.5 billion people on the planet," he continued. "That doesn’t seem to me to be a sustainable paradigm, and yet here we are."
