Andrew Garfield expressed hope that billionaires watching his new film, The Uprising, would be "scared s**tless" by its content. The actor discussed the movie during a Q&A session with director Paul Greengrass ahead of its release. The Uprising portrays the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, inspired by King Richard II's oppressive taxation on the English poor.
Garfield portrays Ploughman, a farmer who leads the rebellion. Despite its historical setting, Garfield emphasized the film's relevance today, aiming to awaken a sense of shared struggle among audiences. He specifically suggested that billionaires watching the movie might feel fear and the need for healing. Garfield's comment potentially refers to tech magnates like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
The movie's tagline is "there will be no peace until we are healed," a sentiment Garfield extended to billionaires, believing they may require the most healing.
