De Niro also took aim at Trump...
"You can't put a price on creativity, but apparently you can put a tariff on it. Of course, this is unacceptable. All of these attacks are unacceptable," he said.
"And this isn't just an American problem, it's a global one. Unlike a film, we can't just all sit back and watch. We have to act, and we have to act now."
He ended his speech with a call for people to stand up to Trump "without violence, but with great passion and determination."
"It's time for everyone who cares about liberty to organize, to protest and when there are elections, of course, to vote."
"Tonight, and for the next 11 days, we show our strength and commitment by celebrating art in this glorious festival. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité."
