Oh yeah forgot to mention that from the test screening reports.
Though I don't think he was 'cut', pretty sure he had scheduling conflicts with Succession.

Lol of course there was no way they weren’t going to use Mahler 5 in the trailer.

Pretty good trailer (ADORE the visual look of it), but I have 2 concerns:
1. I hope the angle here is not "miserable gay artist but don't worry audience he really loved this one woman."
2. Shouldn't have done the prosthetic nose. Totally unnecessary and just raises an easy target - we're gonna get several thinkpieces about it being an antisemitic trope.

Yeah, if it wasn't already, it's now pretty damn clear that Mulligan is going Lead.

Yeah, the nose just isn’t sitting well with me.

family put out a statement. i doubt the controversy will negatively impact its award chances, esp with the family coming out with a statement supporting the movies choice of using the bigger nose and coopers decisions throughout the movie, but yeah. there wasn’t really any need to use that nose lmao

The “controversy” will be a film Twitter thing only and have zero bearing outside of that tiny bubble.

Well I don't know about this, Cooper's voice sounds like he's doing the 50's sitcom dad on an SNL skit. Nice B&W cinematography though, I'm interested in seeing what Mulligan does, and of course the music was gorgeous.
The nose is a complete nonissue. Bernstein actually did have a nose like that, it's not like they're giving him one just because he was Jewish and it doesn't look cartoonish at all to me like a Watto nose or something.
Edit- Cooper also looks like a little DDL in Phantom Thread when he's made up to look old which made me think of how great DDL would have been as Bernstein 10-15 years ago.

Totally unnecessary and just raises an easy target - we're gonna get several thinkpieces about it being an antisemitic trope. 1. I truly misinterpreted that as being about Bradley Cooper himself 2. The nose is not even remotely big - it looks like an average nose. The prosthetic looks better than his actual, real nose! (For the record, I've never cared for his nose.)

I thought he looked a bit different in the trailer but I didn't know he was wearing a fake nose. Now that I know it does look a bit weird.
That said I have no idea why people have a problem with prosthetics when it comes to portraying Jews. I think it's pretty clear that the vast majority of Jews are simply white, Bernstein included.

See I don't think Bradley Cooper even needed the nose. The shots of him as older, gray Bernstein are more convincing than young Bernstein though.

Because historically, anti-Semitic caricatures have emphasized a large nose as being a characteristic of Jewish people. And Bradley Cooper, who is not Jewish, felt the need to have a larger nose prosthetic put on him, ostensibly to make him look more like the real man, but it still carries unfortunate connotations and it was never not going to get backlash. I also expect that there might be some criticism that Bernstein's wife, who was Costa Rican, is being played by noted non-Costa Rican Carey Mulligan.

The large, hook-nosed stereotype was intended to make Jews look like some grotesque, shady Other in European society who stands out from Gentiles with their abnormal features. Cooper's prosthetics is a non-controversy, but it's not hard to see why it could be taken as (unintentionally) falling into that stereotypical image .

If this goes down well I'd like to see a Duke Ellington biopic in the future from Cooper.
