On the arrival of his movie A Real Pain about two Jewish cousins searching for to make sense of their historical past by becoming a member of a Holocaust tour group in Poland, Jesse Eisenberg says he feels he has been the goal of anti-Semitic prejudice his whole profession.
Eisenberg, who directed and co-stars with Kieran Culkin within the mission, advised The Times of London that across the time of his first movie Roger Dodger, aged 18, he noticed a remark made about his look, calling him “short, ugly and Jewish,” whereas one other learn: “I hate Seth Rogen and Jesse Eisenberg. I like their movies, but something about them makes me hate them.”
Eisenberg advised The Times: “I could have told them what they hate about us! So I know people hate me. It is just something you take as a given and, you know, register as a handicap.”
His new movie, he mentioned, was motivated by “a lack of connection to something bigger than my world.”
He mentioned: “There’s also guilt that I live in a materially comfortable world, yet know what’s happening in other places — and that feeling of helplessness and disconnect makes you feel small and meaningless.”
Eisenberg was beforehand Oscar-nominated for his position of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (2010), and has blended theatrical initiatives and writing with extra mainstream fare together with Now You See Me, the third instalment of which is due this yr.
He advised The Times there was just one mission on his display resume he hadn’t needed to do, though he wouldn’t present the title. He mentioned:
“The only thing I’ve done that I didn’t want to was a film most people would think was a passion project. I won’t name it, but it was arthouse. All the studio things that I’ve done have just been dreams.”
