  Seriously, “Jewish erasure”? Come the fuck on.

    From Baddiel who wrote the screenplay for The Infidel 2010 which starred Omid Djalili (Iranian British) playing a Jewish character…

    Pot kettle?

  I don’t think anyone has a problem with Jews playing gentiles or gentiles playing Jews. It’s that putting on a nose prosthetic is seen as trying to match a caricature that was used in antisemiric propaganda. The prosthetic appears to be more pronounced than the real nose he had, so it seems an odd choice. However, it seems earnest in seeking to portray him and the family are fine with it. I think it’s a mountain made out of a molehill, but I understand why the question is being asked.

  The Oppenheimer film didn’t have a nose prosthetic.

    Have you seen it? It’s kinda uncanny valley in some parts with what they did to Cillians face.

      Well, that’s because Cillian Murphy basically starved himself to achieve that emaciated look. I haven’t read anything about prosthetics being used. That was all diet and traditional makeup.

        That’s crazy, at the beginning of the movie he looks like he did back when he was first in 28 Days Later. Like he looked VERY young. And then wildly old in other scenes. Or just starved in some others.

        There’s also a scene near the end where he’s seen as a very old man, like 80’s and he’s barely got hair left and you can see his skin has the old people freckles.

        I saw it twice and the second time was on a true IMAX screen so it was very wild to see that much detail. If there are no prosthetics then that guy is a fucking wizard.

      Yes I have, I didn’t notice anything strange about his face? He looks different, but not in an uncanny valley way.
