All the usual suspects, I see. I'm surprised Amy Schumer and Spielberg are missing.

nothing Glazer said was remotely hyperbolic and this predictable response proves his point. Because of what the Jews suffered under Nazi Germany, nothing the present-day state of Israel does can be criticized or condemned, up to and including the slaughter of children, decimation of civilian infrastructure, opening fire on people in food lines, etc. All permissible in the name of self-defense and survival and any calls for peace are anti-Semitic and a threat to Israel's existence.
The Holocaust has been hijacked constantly to justify violence in Gaza for decades, it's just especially grotesque now given how Netanyahu has killed 30K Palestinian civilians in a matter of weeks on the world stage. And those comments about misinformation are total bullshit. Obviously Hamas benefits from misinformation and anecdotal evidence has to be vetted, but the official death toll and the photos of the utter devastation in Gaza is just us seeing what's in front of our eyes. You can't make up what's been done to the people of Gaza.

Spielberg called it the best film about the Holocaust since Schindler's List (hahaha, in your face, Nemes!!).
Anyway, this is so insane. Hollywood is truly a distorted reality.

Imagine being so full of yourself to proclaim your movie better than a masterpiece by Polanski.

Imagine being so full of yourself to proclaim your movie better than a masterpiece by Polanski. I don't think that's what Spielberg said though. It wasn't "Schindler's List was the best Holocaust movie and then The Zone of Interest came along", it was "There were other Holocaust movies since Schindler's List came out and The Zone of Interest was the best among them". Which I can't agree with because The Pianist is indeed a masterpiece. But I don't think he's including his own film in the equation. He'd never say something so arrogant and self-confident, he ain't QT.

I genuinely believe that also he doesn't feel comfortable in praising Polanski's film in this extremely hot sociopolitical climate.

I've just realised that the guy who was on stage with Glazer and Wilson is multibillionaire Sir Len Blavatnik, who's a major donor to Israel and reportedly close to Netanyahu. The post-speech interaction backstage must've been quite something.

love how Glazer's been silent about the whole thing. The speech needs no clarification. But earlier this week he also donated signed Zone of Interest and Under the Skin posters to the Cinema for Gaza auction which is raising $$$ for medical aid in Gaza, so he hasn't budged. I've been wondering how this would affect his directing career, but he probably isn't directing another movie for 10 years so he'll probably be fine
