Why not cast a Jewish Leonard Bernstein ?


I love B Cooper and I respect him as a director and actor. However , I found Maestro to be below expectations. I would love a Jewish Bernstein. I also wished that Cooper would open up and share the stage a bit. Stay on as director but hand the part over to pure Jews and great actors like Andy Samberg & Josh Gad. Actors we all love and respect. Actors we relate to.

Cause no one gives a flying fuck whether or not an actor or director is Jewish or fucking black as long as the movie is good that's all that should really matter, Steven Spielberg produced some phenomenal movies from the mid 70's through the mid 90's including Jaws, E.T, and Jurassic Park to name a few, but unfortunately it didn't last but just be happy with what you got and move. You keep on saying why not cast a Jew, why not cast a Jew isn't going to magically produce movies with an all Jewish cast it just makes you fucking annoying so piss off!

Conscientious Americans care very deeply about our cultural hygiene, especially after witnessing it's pollution by George Soros, and trivialization by the likes of Mel Brooks and Larry David. Giving these people more airtime just deprives folks of solid Norse stock of the opportunities which are their birth right

Two hours of non-stop irrelevant gibberish dialogue, and all you learn was that Leonard Bernstein was gay & Jewish- I could've sworn he was a conductor and the composer of West Side Story, but they skipped all that. Apart from a couple of Mahler pieces the music is even dull too. Bradley Cooper looked and sounded like an android for the first hour, and Carey Mulligan sounds even weirder, along with a pitiful demeanor. Cooper supposedly wrote the screenplay - I'm sure he asked AI to do it - most of it's like listening to half a conversation and trying to work out what's even being talked about. Shocking waste of a life story and music - this could've been about any closeted old Jewish man.

Instead of being about Bernstein's life in music we're given the story of his almost non-existent relationship with his wife, and even that's not fleshed out. I don't actually know where the 129 mins went, other than all that continually pointless dialogue, which isn't insightful, it's invariably small talk.
