Actor Bradley Cooper has recently found himself at the center of a social media-driven controversy following the release of the trailer for his second directorial feature, Maestro.
In the film, Cooper portrays Leonard Bernstein, a figure whose artistic and cultural contributions to the 20th century were so profound that merely labeling him as a"conductor,""composer," or"educator" seems almost reductive. Recognized as one of the last true Renaissance men, Bernstein is celebrated for legendary works such as"West Side Story," popularizing Gustav Mahler's compositions, and his myriad philanthropic endeavors.
Though our culture is far past the point of Peter Sellers donning dark makeup to portray a bungling Indian actor in The Party , just last spring, a Netflix docudrama cast Cleopatra, historically a Macedonian Greek, as a black woman. In a similar vein, Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White announced a departure from the source material, recasting the Brothers Grimm character as a Hispanic woman.
In a culture where snippets of information and provocative headlines dictate the ebb and flow of public attention, controversy, whether contrived or genuine, can be a boon. A far more probable interpretation of Bradley Cooper’s cartoonish prosthetic is that he is not, in fact, a raging antisemite but a shrewd businessman and adept film promoter.
