Kate Winslet has been praised for her portrayal of a war photographer in her latest release Lee. In an old interview with Deadline, the actress talked about a common factor between her in real life and her character in the film.
The Titanic star claimed that she was the one who would break the rules, and Lee, whom she portrayed in the biopic, would do the same.
While sitting for a chat with a media portal, the actress was asked, “Lee did not accept the rules. Is there anything you’ve personally had to do that has really impacted your life?
Winslet started laughing at the question before answering. After this the actress said, “I don’t know why I am laughing.” I guess I’m laughing because I feel like I’m constantly breaking the rules.”

He further revealed that rules do not specifically refer to the disciplinary aspect but to the area of social norms.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind star added, “I mean, it’s about breaking social norms. It’s about appearing a certain way on screen that feels true and not being airbrushed, watered down, or softened in any way just to make a movie, because maybe that’s what people expect. Can. Life is not necessarily a pretty picture.”
He continued to reveal, “For most people, it’s not, and for me, it definitely wasn’t. And I believe in him, in telling stories, and I certainly believe in him, in making films and making this film about Lee.
For her portrayal of Lee in the film, the actress received a Golden Globes nomination.
