I'd rather act in stage plays and British literary films than move to Los Angeles and play soy sauce in American blockbusters.
Sense and Sensibility Soundtrack
On October 5 this year, "Meat Silk" Kate Winslet celebrated her fortieth birthday. Forty years of age is an important node for any woman, because from this time on, the word "youth" seems to have no longer associated with herself, and the traces of time will gradually reveal its power physically and psychologically.
But the best way to face the years is not to escape, but to embrace the traces of time engraved on himself–that's what Winslet did. She is an advocate of natural beauty and refuses to let dryness, thinness, plastic surgery, etc. interfere with her natural curves. So we often see Winslet's fat red carpet photos, and we also walk the red carpet generously during pregnancy, never caring about other people's evaluations of their body shape.
The word bone has never been associated with Winslet, but no one would say she was not beautiful.
Winslet's beauty comes from her self-confidence and her insistence on the original intention of acting. Although the appearance of "Titanic" has made Winslet popular around the world for nearly two decades, she never considers herself a big star, only a British actor. As an actress, she always reminds herself that she must not forget the original intention of choosing to perform this career, and she has run into her nearly perfect acting skills and is completely immune to the glitz of Hollywood. Probably because of this, we have always liked "warm fat" so much.
A few years ago, Time Magazine named ten of the best performances by Winslet. On the occasion of Wen Fei's fortieth birthday, we may wish to review the wonderful screen show of this British drama bone.

The angel of sin
1994
Director : Peter Jackson
Type : Crime | Same-sex | fantasy
Winslet shined in her first audition and was given the opportunity to star in this breakthrough work directed by Peter Jackson. In this film, Winslet plays a girl who indulges in her own fantasy world, and her friendship with another problem girl eventually leads them to murder. (The story is based on the early years of Anne Perry, a murderer who later transitioned to become a suspense writer.) Although Winslet hadn't finished school at the time of filming, she had already begun to show interest in exploring the dark side of her character. In reviewing the film, Time Magazine's Richard Corliss called Winslet "a flawless and fearless portrayal of adolescent hysteria."

Reason and emotion
1995
Director : Ang Lee
Genre : Drama | Love | adapt
For some time in the 1990s, new Austen adaptations seemed to come out every year, and Sense and Sensibility was one of the best-rated and most popular of them all. The protagonist of the story is a pair of sisters who are eager to find Ruyi Langjun, which gives Winslet access to director Ang Lee (Ang Lee thinks she is a "very bold actress"), screenwriter and heroine Emma Thompson, and two male protagonists, Ellen Rickman and Hugh Grant. In a 1995 interview with The New York Times, twenty-year-old Winslet insisted that he "didn't have the charm of that era at all." Audiences weren't too convinced, after all, the film earned Winslet her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

Titanic
1997
Director : James Cameron
Genre : Drama | Love | disaster
Twelve years after the film's release, it still topped the global box office with a whopping $1.8 billion. When the whole world is crazy about Leo, it is Winslet, who plays Leo's aristocratic, stubborn object of affection in the film, who received an Oscar nomination. After that, she quickly escaped from Hollywood and made several small-budget films that she liked very much, while finding the feeling of solid acting while avoiding the evil consequences of excessive publicity.

Holy smoke
1999
Director : Jane Campion
Genre : Drama | comedy
Not many people have seen this somewhat puzzling and at the same time eccentric film about an Australian woman's journey of self-discovery. If you're interested in Winslet's work in the "post-Titanic" period, you might as well check out North African Lover, because North African Lover is somewhat similar to the theme of Holy Smoke. Winslet says the collaboration with choreographer Campion has benefited him. "Jane taught me a great lesson — you don't have to seek approval from your audience. It really benefited me a lot, because the desire to be liked and recognized was not the original intention of the performance."

The long way will come
2001
Director : Richard Al
Genre : Drama | Love | biography
In this film, Winslet plays the novelist Alice Murdoch in her youth. With several highly expressive flashback scenes from the film, Winslet won her third Oscar nomination (Winslet played the character of Murdoch with Judy Dench, and Dench played the elderly Murdoch who was tormented by Alzheimer's disease). Winslet's resolute performance in the film drew her to an important admirer, Sam Mendes, who met at that year's BAFTA Awards and married two years later. Mendes said, "When I watched 'The Long Way Is Over,' I felt like she contributed a watershed performance, and her performances will come back to their true nature more and more in the future."

Warmth contains light
2004
Director : Michelle Gunrie
Genre : Drama | Love | fantasy
In collaboration with Kim Carey, who is willing to push her limits, on the film, Winslet also stepped out of her comfort zone to play a woman who is a little crazy and at the same time a little charming. She shares the same secrets as Carey's characters, but they don't seem to know it themselves. If you want to have a more logical interpretation of the film, the best way is to fully immerse yourself in the fictional and realistic script created by Charlie Kaufman, and enjoy the sparks of Winslet and Carey, a seemingly unrelated screen couple.

Extras
Season 1 2005
Director : Ricky Gervais et al
Winslet played a rough and ambitious version of himself in the hilarious comedy choreographed by Jervais, for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award. In the play, Winslet told Jervis that she is currently playing a nun in a film about the Holocaust because "I found that as long as you act in a Holocaust-themed movie, you can win an Oscar." I've mentioned it four times, and not once. The world is asking, why didn't Winslet win the award? ...Schindler's Fucking List, The Pianist... Oscars were all made by their farts." And after Winslet won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Reader," Revys quipped, "What am I telling you?"

Being a mother
2006
Director : Todd Field
Genre : Drama | Love | Family
The restlessness of the suburbs. Marriages that do not match commitments. Infidelity caused by tension rather than desire. A woman on the verge of collapse due to isolation and captivity. Field's adaptation of Tom Perrotta's novel of the same name resembles a precursor to The Revolutionary Road, but the two stories are still fundamentally different. Winslet plays a determined, cautious young woman who acts like an anthropologist in her bedroom and never imagined she would get lost in the jungle.

Readers
2008
Director : Steven Dudley
Genre : Drama | Love
In March 2007, Winslet refused to play the role of Hannah, a former camp watchman, because she and Mendes were about to start filming their long-desired Revolutionary Road, and Winslet was worried that he would not be able to finish a project in time and then immediately start the next one. But Winslet said, "It's strange, although I verbally refused, I always felt that this matter was not over." Director Dadley later chose Nicole Kidman as the lead role. The time cuts to New Year 2008. My phone rang, and it showed the phone of my agent, and I said to Sam, look, it must be the Reader, it chases me endlessly! The agent left a message saying: Nicole is pregnant. You're on."
10/10
The Road to Revolution
Director : Sam Mendes
"I want other actors to know that they can talk to me about anything, even spit on Sam, and I'm not going to make a small report." Winslet said this in her review of the film, based on Richard Yates's novel of the same name and directed by her then-husband, Sam Mendes. "I'd love to know how to make other people feel comfortable, how to let everyone know that Sam and I are not secretly saying bad things about others behind our backs." None of this happened - I didn't let it happen." The result: Leo and Kate, reunited ten years after the Titanic sank, re-enacting two people struggling not to be overwhelmed.
