Million Man March<\/a>. At first, Rick treats the gig as he would any job, but he finds himself quarreling more and more with the passengers as he grapples with the tensions between the civil rights ideals of the marchers and the fact that the march is organized by a notorious anti-Semite: Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Rick eventually tells George he can\u2019t continue.<\/p>\nKey dialogue<\/strong><\/em>: George: Well okay, let\u2019s just get it out in the open. I\u2019ll bet you\u2019d like to call me a nigger or, what do you call it, a schvartze, or whatever the fuck it is. Well, I\u2019m going to allow you to say it, go ahead.
\nRick: I never called anybody that in my life. All I\u2019m saying is that if this bus is going to the Farrakhan march, I can\u2019t be a part of that.
\nGeorge: This is not just Farrakhan\u2019s march.
\nRick: I don\u2019t want to debate this thing. He called Judaism a gutter religion; he said Hitler was a great man. I wouldn\u2019t expect you to drive a bus to a Ku Klux Klan rally, so don\u2019t expect me to do this.
\nGeorge: So now you\u2019re comparing this to a Klan rally.<\/p>\n\u201c25th Hour\u201d (2002)<\/strong><\/p>\nJewish character<\/strong><\/em>: Jacob Elinsky, played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was not Jewish.<\/p>\nJewish quotient<\/strong><\/em>: Monty Brogan, played by Edward Norton, is a drug dealer sentenced to seven years in prison who is spending his last 24 hours of freedom with his closest longtime friends \u2014 Elinsky, a teacher, and Frank Slaughtery, a stockbroker played by Barry Pepper. Each man grapples with how their promising lives have veered off course. Elinksy is an English teacher who gave up the trappings of a Manhattan upbringing with hopes of changing the lives of his students. He\u2019s also now on the verge of an affair with one of them, who is 17 years old.<\/p>\nKey dialogue<\/strong><\/em>: Jacob chastises Frank for \u201cdefraud[ing] foreign governments\u201d at work while ignoring the reality around him.<\/p>\nFrank: Jacob, you\u2019re a rich Jewish kid from the Upper East Side who\u2019s ashamed of his wealth. You walk around unhappy 24\/7, trying to make up for the fact that you were born privileged. Fuck that! You know what? That\u2019s just some knee-jerk liberalism bullshit, man. You call that reality?<\/p>\n
\u201cBlacKkKlansman\u201d (2018)<\/strong><\/p>\nJewish character<\/strong><\/em>: Flip Zimmerman, played by Adam Driver \u2014 who, like Turturro, is not Jewish but often plays Jews.<\/p>\nJewish quotient<\/strong><\/em>: From the trailer, we can see John David Washington is Ron Stallworth, the first black to join the Colorado Springs police force. He initiates an investigation into the local branch of the Ku Klux Klan by calling them up and asking to join their ranks. But he needs a white man to act as him in their presence, and he enlists Driver\u2019s character Zimmerman.<\/p>\nKey dialogue (from the trailer)<\/strong><\/em>: Zimmerman: For you it\u2019s a crusade, for me it\u2019s a job.
\nStallworth: You\u2019re Jewish. That hatred, doesn\u2019t that piss you off? Why you acting like you ain\u2019t got skin in the game?<\/p>\n
