Quotables #71: The Collective Cinema of Cate Blanchett
Continuing our Collective Cinema Quotable game, we've decided to pick the movies of Cate Blanchett. Each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are spoken by Blanchett. Your job is to guess which movies they're from.
Blanchett:
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine Rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all.
Movie 1:
Woman:
Why will you not confess your crimes against me?
Blanchett:
Because, your Majesty, I have committed none.
Woman:
You speak with such sincerity. I see you are still a consummate actress. My husband is gone. They have poisoned my child. They say it is a tumor. Ohhh!
Blanchett:
Madam, you are not well.
Woman:
They say this cancer will make you queen, but they are wrong. Look there. That is your death warrant. All I need do is sign it.
Blanchett:
Mary, if you sign that paper, you will be murdering your own sister.
Movie 2:
Man:
Excuse me?
Blanchett:
Well, if you're deaf, you must own up to it. Get a hearing aid, or see my father. He's a urologist, but it's all tied up inside the body, don't you find?
Man:
Mmm.
Blanchett:
Me, I keep healthy. I take seven showers a day to keep clean, also because I'm so vulgarly referred to as "outdoors-y." Well, I'm not "outdoors-y." I'm athletic. I sweat! There it is. Now we both know the sordid truth: I sweat, and you're deaf. Aren't we a fine pair of misfits?
Movie 3:
Blanchett:
You know that Indian name of yours? Wha - what's that, what's that mean?
Man:
Very hard to translate that.
Blanchett:
Try it.
Man:
It means "shit for luck."
Movie 4:
Blanchett #1:
Thanks for all the... fancy swag.
Blanchett #2:
Oh, it's nothing.
Blanchett #1:
It is swag, isn't it? They probably give you all kinds of free stuff: jewelry, clothes - probably give you cars, right?
Blanchett #2:
No! They don’t give me cars, but... well, yeah, I mean, sometimes they give me makeup from time to time, but I just thought... you know, I just wanted... didn't have time to go shopping.
Blanchett #1:
No, really, it's fine. I mean, it's great. I could use it. It's just... funny, don't yah think, that when you can't afford something, it's like really expensive, but then when you can afford it, it's like, free? It's kinda backwards, don't yah think?
Blanchett #2:
Yeah, well... the world is a bit like that, I guess, in a lot of ways.
