Did Aronofsky just hire anyone who was Jewish...?


You have the new It Girl ballerina Nina, played by Natalie Portman who is Jewish, superseding the old It Girl ballerina played by Winona Ryder, who is also Jewish. The girl Nina is in competition with is played by Mila Kunis, also Jewish, and Nina's domineering mother is Barbara Hershey, again Jewish. All in a movie directed by a Jewish man. I'm sorry but are we to believe this was all just a coincidence? It seeks like Aronofsky just picked all these people to fill the cast with Jews. Heck, Vincent Cassel is the only non-Jewish person in the main cast!

this thread is stupid.

most of you are blind to your own tribalism. prostestant whites favor prostestant whites all the time in every field and in the majority of hollywood since it began, yet only complain when another group puts forth their own or makes stories about their own. why? because you think anyone who deviates from using WASPs is a threat to you. why should a jewish director only be allowed to use all jewish actors when the story is explicitly about jews? why can't non protestant, non white people just BE in a movie, just exist like their WASP counterparts do, as characters outside their heritage? as just regular people? relax and enjoy the art people put on this earth, instead of trying to make it about you all the time.
