Oscar-winner Helen Mirren tore into the fascist cancel culture and the stupid uproar over her portrayal of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the filmMirren isn’t Jewish, you see, so she’s not supposed to portray a Jew because that’s “Jewface,” which is like “blackface,” but directed at Jews.
Of this, Mirren said, “I think, in a way, that it’s more frightening for a writer to be told they are not allowed to write about subjects with which they don’t have an immediate DNA connection.”When asked if she can understand why people are upset, she said, “I think I can see, but sometimes I can’t see because I can’t see who in this room is Jewish.”
The film’s director, Guy Nattiv, said that Meir’s family asked that Mirren be cast as the former prime minister.and had no “Jewface” issues. “Mirren captured Meir perfectly — her political steel, her abrasive external nature, her internal sweetness and vulnerability,” he told me. “She became Meir onscreen, to the point where it became impossible to imagine anyone else in the role.”
