I say let's boycott it, start a letter-writing campaign to the distributors
complaining about its wishy-washy soundtrack (how dare they have the theme
song sung by Celine Dion!) and historical inaccuracies and biased portrayal
of 18th -c. Jews.

There is a new film in the works called"Esther Kahn".
"Esther" tells the story of a Hasidic girl in 18th century London who has
dreams of becoming a stage actress. (An Orthodox-Feminist version of "The
Jazz
Singer"???)

 I suppose there will be "Jewish Music inspired" soundtrack. What I would
like
to ask the list is; should we stsart to pick the music apart now-to save
time-
or whould we listen to it first, then pick it apart??
