Sean Penn Urges Political Incorrectness at Festival

At the Marrakech International Film Festival, Sean Penn delivered a passionate speech advocating for political incorrectness and true diversity in thought as he received a career honor. The Oscar-winning actor emphasized the importance of embracing diverse voices and opinions, challenging the notion that today's liberalism promotes only certain types of diversity. Drawing upon a past debate involving Stephen Fry, Penn criticized the current cultural climate for failing to allow diversity of behavior and language. He urged creators to express themselves freely and boldly, stating, "I would just encourage everybody to be as politically incorrect as their heart desires." The gala was attended by numerous film industry luminaries, and Penn's contributions to cinema were celebrated with a showcase of his films. The award was presented by longtime friend Valeria Golino, marking a significant moment in Penn's ongoing advocacy for freedom of expression.
