American actor criticizes U.S. movie tax while winning an award at Cannes.

On May 14, Jin10 reported that on the evening of May 13 local time, American actor, director, and producer Robert De Niro was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Palme d’Or at the opening ceremony of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. In his acceptance speech, he criticized the U.S. government’s imposition of tariffs on foreign-made films. He believes that creativity is an invaluable treasure, yet it is burdened with heavy taxes, which is unacceptable. This is not just an American issue; it is a global crisis. Everyone should not sit idly by like watching a movie, but should take action.
