How on earth did Mr Lee Ang get hold of this material. It is antisemitic and sick gay stuff, is Mr Schamus his partner gay? I am a frum Jewish woman, and this scares me.

in regarding to -- QUOTE ABOVE

''Imelda Staunton as Martin's selfish and oppressively domineering Jewish mother is a shrill one trick pony that becomes increasingly frustrating as the picture moves on. Perhaps this is how Tiber's mother really was in real life, but all audiences need reprieve from obnoxious characters.''

I found the book that the movie was made from to be full of antisemitic caricatures, penned by Mr Tiber himself, who used to be a Jew I guess, and his portrait of his mother in the book is sad and tragic and antisemitic, he seems to really hate his mother and to hate her because she was Jewish. It's a sad day when that happens. I hope the movie is better than the book, which sucked. Also, all the sick perverted gay sex stuff in the book, I hope that does not get in either. The young Mr Tiber aged 8 or so goes to Times Square movie theaters to get fondled and etc by middle aged perverts and he writes about it like that is normal? Normal? I love gays but this kind of SM stuff as a young teen is sick. No wonder his life turned out that way it did. I hope this stuff also does not make it into the movie. How on earth did Mr Lee Ang get hold of this material. It is antisemitic and sick gay stuff, is Mr Schamus his partner gay? I am a frum Jewish woman, and this scares me. I think the Jewish mama in the movie is also a stereotype, and shame on Ang Lee for doing that to the Jews. He doesn't even know who we are, he is from Japan!

Sounds as bad a Ride With the Devil.
