Now I'm not an expert but like isn't it kind of antisemitic to get a Jewish actress to play the character of a big nosed witch trying to kill a Christian girl. Why did they cast Gal Gadot.

Rachel Sofaer, Jewish actress in Kolkata, in the Bollywood classic 'Punarianma: A Life Divine' in 1932.

Her family of Baghdadi Jews had migrated from Iraq first to Burma and then India. When Rachel's father fell on hard times financially, he permitted his daughter to act under the name Arati Devi. She was accompanied to the set by her mother and married a Baghdadi Jewish man in 1933 at age 21, never again acting in a film. Her cousin Abraham Sofaer became a Hollywood character actor. x

no but im so frustrated by that stupid ass post where the guy blabs about "ethnic europeans" and "africans" in saw (like that wording alone is so bad) but like......... theres definitely racial subtext in the saw franchise, hes just ignoring what it actually is in favor of the stupidest interpretation known to man.
