Classical Music At The Movies

Classical music in films has long been a staple of the cinema experience and for good reason: music is integral to our emotional experience of film. We’ll look at a few examples where classical music that has made great films even greater and perhaps used in ways that give us a different perspective of the story being told Raging Bull (1980)Pietro Mascagni (1863-1945)Intermezzo from Cavelleria…

so um….looks like Bradley Cooper (goy) has been cast to play Leonard Bernstein, a Jewish man, in his upcoming film Maestro (a biopic about a real Jewish composer). rather than hiring a Jewish actor to tell a story about a Jewish man, they cast a goy…who will be wearing a prosthetic nose.

and if that weren’t enough - they cast Carrie Mulligan, an Irish woman, to play Leonard’s wife…who was a Latina. and Maya Hawke, a white woman who is neither Latina nor Jewish, has been cast to play their daughter.

AND don’t forget that Bradley Cooper grabbed the rights to Bernstein’s music before Jake Gyllenhaal, A JEWISH MAN WHO WAS GOING TO MAKE A BIOPIC ABOUT BERNSTEIN, was able to. we could have had a respectful biopic about a Jewish man, told by Jews. instead we get this.

i…don’t have words to explain how insidious this is. the absolute goydacity to keep a Jewish man from telling this story, whitewash the other people in a true story, and to cast a goy instead of a Jewish person to tell a true story about a Jewish man, and have that goy wear a prosthetic nose. they would rather Jew-ify a goy than cast an actual Jew. i’m disgusted.

Left: Composer Leonard Bernstein. Right: Bradley Cooper and the world's worst fake nose playing Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming movie Maestro.

like holy fuck this is actual anti-semitism literally all you had to do was hire a Jewish actor. ONE JEWISH ACTOR, HOLLYWOOD, IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

Bradley Cooper is the Ron DeSantis of desperate to win an Oscar. the harder he tries, the more I hate him.

Many people do not understand why Bradley Cooper wearing a prosthetic nose as Leonard Bernstein is so upsetting to many of his Jewish fans.

Point one: the prosthetic is horribly disproportionate and doesn't look like his nose at all.

Point two goes far deeper. Imagine growing up with caricatures, cartoons and endless jokes about part of your ethnicity. Also knowing that it was used as a reason to "other" you during WW2.

Imagine this imagery traumatising your Holocaust surviving grandmother to the point that when I was about six years old she took me in her arms and almost pleaded that I would end up with a smaller nose than the rest of my family (I didn't.)

This has been a reality for many Jews who are already hurting from the continuing rise of antisemitism around the world.

Now imagine seeing a huge ridiculous fake joke of a nose on the face of the actor who stars as the lead in a story of a legendary Jewish artist; Leonard Bernstein who's Jewishness was a source of pride.

Perhaps now you can understand it sits wrong with Jews who still feel the pain of their ethnic features being mocked for centuries on end.

In recent years it has been made clear that using the characteristics of ethnic minorities on stage or on screen was not allowed anymore. Why is this different for Jews?
