Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Hudson Hawk w/ Adam Mansbach
Daniel and Harry are joined by Adam Mansbach, author of Golem of Brooklyn, to talk about the 1991 Bruce Willis film, Hudson Hawk.
They explore themes of moral relativism, as it relates to sin and crime in the film, argue for Hawk’s role as a Jewish stand-in left behind by an ever changing world, and make the case for the film’s irreverent tone, arguing its intention and merit (and possible Jewishness) against the outsized criticism it has received.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
