Both Russo and Gibson are Christian. Why would the director make one, or both, Jewish in this movie?


It is kinda strange. The only time i have ever seen non-Jewish actors be cast in movies where they are Jewish is in movies like Schlinder's List, or other movies about Judaism.

You think there’s some rule that says Christians can’t include Jews in their scripts? That’s absurd.

reply

Not really. It would not make sense to cast them as Jewish, if they are not Jewish in real life. It does nothing for their respective characters. It would not change the storyline in any way.

This is such an inappropriate response. The OP is not the one who cares what religion they are. The OP only noticed that someone else cared what religion they are, and cared enough to shoehorn it into precious screen time in a multimillion dollar movie. Are you one of those people who deny Jews are overrepresented in Hollywood?

You have nothing to apologize for. That was one of the most unstable, whack job replies I've seen in a while.

Are you some kind of nut? All the poster did was correct the OP's incorrect assumption that they were being portrayed as Jewish in the movie. They weren't. Your reply is so off the charts abnormal that you seriously need to seek professional help.
