'Seeing “Big Nose” appear in the credits felt like a sick joke, a gut punch that a movie that does so many things well—including showing how growth and tolerance can make the world a better place—except for Jews,' writes Barry Levitt
If you haven’t seen the film, you may not understand what I’m referring to. Even if you have, so much happens that you’d be forgiven for forgetting any small detail. Big Nose is a character in the film played by, who’s introduced on-screen by Evelyn reacting in shock when she sees her. She says of the character, “Wow, what a big nose.” From there, Evelyn tells her husband to give a pile of dry cleaning to “the customer with the big nose.
While I have no interest in taking down the film—I really did enjoy it, for the most part—I can’t just let antisemitism go unchecked. Meanwhile, Slate herself has said that she doesn’t have any problem with her character. “They explained it to me right away, so I never felt it was antisemitic,” she said, in a recent interview with
Evelyn and Joy better understand and accept each other by the film’s end, with Evelyn in particular learning to care for and respect the people around her in new ways. But when it comes to her treatment Slate’s character, Evelyn experiences no such growth. Evelyn’s multiple remarks about “Big Nose” are left to hang like a toxic cloud over the film, with no resolution.
