why is maya hawke out here trying to get flannery o conner canceled like calm down. shes dead. she already got canceled by lupus. also this very sensible profound first comment. the goodness we seek cannot be found in any pure, unadulterated form. not that I think this movie will be good or needs to be made (esp by someone who clearly doesn’t know enough about the subject) anyway but you know. it’s just the performative circus act of it all. how do you not already know a bitch born in 1920s savannah georgia maybe had some opinions/maybe said some things within their entire history of being alive as a human on the planet not in line with modern accepted thought/humanity come on.
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.
