Further, in his conversation with the news outlet, the actor shared, “I’m very grateful. I’ve had a very blessed career, but it’s still challenging to find work such as this. You can have a triumph in your life again. It is healing and rewarding, and what it speaks to is my family struggles and the hardships that they faced that have given me firm footing as an American actor.”
In the movie, Brody portrays a Jewish refugee who enters the U.S. organization as an architect named The Brutalist. The film was heavily lauded by the audience and the critics and also went on to win three titles at the ceremony.
Adding to his statements, Brody talked about his connection to his character while being Jewish himself. He said, “Unfortunately, there is a tremendous amount of antisemitism. It’s something that this character is fleeing and that persecution, not just for being Jewish, but for his artistic beliefs and his values and to be oppressed and judged and othered.”
The Brutalist is available to watch in selected theaters.
