Nose Criticism: Amber Kids Defend Bradley Cooper
Voices online accuse Bradley Cooper of using a prosthetic nose in his role as Leonard Bernstein to serve Jewish stereotypes. Bernstein’s children join the Hollywood star.
When creating the portrait of her parents, Cooper showed “deep respect” and “love” for this project, wrote Jamie (70), Alexander (68) and Nina Bernstein (61) on the online platform X, formerly known as Twitter . Her father actually had a “nice, big nose”. They fully agree that Cooper helped create that resemblance. That would certainly have been right for her father, it said in the message. They can’t wait for the world to see Cooper’s creation.
Netflix released the first “Maestro” trailer on Tuesday. In addition to Cooper, who made his directorial debut in 2018 with the acclaimed romantic drama “A Star is Born”, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg are on board as producers.
The trailer for the music drama shows the conductor, among other things, as a young man in New York in the late 1940s when he met his future wife – the Chilean actress Felicia Montealegre (1922 – 1978), played in the film by Carey Mulligan (38) . “Maestro” revolves around the couple’s tumultuous relationship, which was also shaped by Bernstein’s relationships with men. Bernstein achieved world fame with the filmed musical “West Side Story” (1957).
“Maestro” will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in early September. After hitting theaters in November, the film is scheduled to hit Netflix on December 20th.
