True Herod, true. But those self-exploitive scripts are approved by Hollywood higher-ups. And as n7 says "Is Hollywood Jewish?" shouldn't be a question, but a statement. And I think your story about the two Jewish people on a park bench would make a rather interesting movie, if only to explore, honestly, the concept of Jewish discrimination in America and what factors cause it to exist.
Also, VerbalP, I'm not really talking about movies that make fun of any one culture. I'm talking about an honest portrayal of the Jewish American culture taken directly from the history books (warts and all). These types of movies are abundant when it comes to African Americans, Asians and etc. The uneducated African American slave for instance, or the subservient frugal Chinaman. Of course films like Rudy portray the discrimination of Jews, but they never address why they are discriminated against, and how the stereotype was formed.
This is typical of the bigoted propaganda against Jewish people that seems to crop up on every movie forum first in the guise of an honest question (see first post in thread), posed out of innocent intellectual curiosity about "things I've heard," with the exhortation not to think any less of the poster for asking a question solely to learn more...and which is invariably followed by a full pasting of a quotation chock full of stereotypes targeting Jews, and then later followed by the true opinion of the original poster (see quote above), showing that the original poster already had a very well-formed opinion about the question he claimed at the beginning he didn't know the answer to.
First, the OP claimed there weren't movies showing prejudice against Jews, unlike movies showing prejudice against other minorities. Then it was claimed the movies never show unflattering portrayals of Jews. These assumptions are, as any sincere attempt at research shows, completely false. For the record, Marlon Brando's assumptions about the movies and their portrayal of Jews were simply false.
It never occurs to the OP, apparently, that to single out Jews as particularly insensitive to the prejudice in society against black Americans, and other minorities, is ridiculous. There is no evidence that Jewish people were any more or less sensitive to the accurate and full portrayal of the lives of other minorities than people of any other religion - but there is only criticism of Jews as a group in their alleged "control" of Hollywood. It is noteworthy that the people who promote this kind of stereotype never mention that Jewish people have been at the forefront of the civil rights movement since the beginning, and also were the first landlords in many communities across the United States to rent to black tenants turned away by other white landlords at the time.
[Side note: why did Jewish people found several movie companies in the early 20th century? One big reason was that they were systematically excluded from the schools and clubs and neighborhoods that provided business opportunities to the majority of Americans. The movie business was an opportunity in a growing industry that was not prestigious and respected enough to exclude Jewish people entirely, and movie audiences couldn't see and didn't care who made the product when they watched the movies in theaters - they only cared if they liked the movie. Second, movie production allowed Jewish immigrants to create fantasy worlds that were much better than the worlds they had come from and the world in which they lived - real worlds in which they were persecuted to the point of being relegated to poverty and often murdered.]
99.9% of all industries and professions in the world are mainly populated by and owned by non-Jews - but you never hear anyone blame Christians as a group for the prejudice and injustices in any of those industries. The bigots would have us believe that there is something particularly Jewish about the bias in movies. In reality, where it did exist, it was a reflection of the bias in the larger society - a society in which Jews were not the major influence regarding prejudice and bigotry. But the Jews are always held to a higher moral standard than the rest of our hypocritical societies.
And Jews are, ultimately, blamed for the prejudice directed even at them. Why else would they be criticized (even in this one thread) for being in supposed total control of every aspect of all Hollywood movies and 1) not showing Jews being discriminated against; and 2) showing Jews being discriminated against too much. So we can see the message here: Jewish people are wrong no matter what they do. As the original poster seems to suggest in his final statements, above, the ultimate message is this: Jewish people are doing something to provoke and deserve the stereotyping of Jews and the hate directed at them, but they are engaged in a conspiracy to prevent the real nature of Jewish people and their lives ("warts and all") from being shown in films.
All of this is complete nonsense (see, e.g. Mo Better Blues, or The Great Gatsby, or School Ties, or Ship of Fools, or Defamation, or many others, for negative stereotypes of Jews), but it is very popular nonsense that people seem determined to keep promoting online in forums like this one - with no evidence to back it up. I'm very disappointed in the administrators of this forum for allowing this thread to remain for quite a while.
