<\/p>\n
Bradley Cooper<\/strong> is dragged over his portrayal of legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein<\/strong>, and one of the criticisms is at least worth talking about, while the other is utterly ridiculous.<\/p>\n Cooper stars in “Maestro,” chronicling the life of the New York Philharmonic conductor, who happens to be Jewish.<\/p>\n One criticism is that Cooper wore a prosthetic nose for the role, which some folks online are calling a “Jewface” stereotype. Point of fact — Bernstein did have a large nose, so we suppose that’s a fair issue to debate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ridiculous criticism … some folks are slamming Cooper, who is not Jewish, and producers for casting him in a role that could have gone to a Jewish actor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note to critics — Bernstein became famous because he was a great conductor who HAPPENED to be Jewish. So if Neil Armstrong<\/strong> were Mormon, should producers only cast a Mormon actor to play him? Absurd.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BTW … the movie was produced by <\/strong>Steven Spielberg<\/strong> … ’nuff said.<\/p>\n
