The scene that I wanted to dive deeper into is in the beginning of the film when Greenberg turns to Mr. Rawitch and tells him “what you are, I wouldn’t eat.”  What is interesting in this scene is that it is the first major clue that Mr. Greenberg, besides his name, is a Jewish character and is performing ethnicity throughout the film.  The line is inferring the Mr. Rawitch is a ham, which in the acting industry means that he is very dramatic and thinks he’s the most important character. Although Mr. Greenberg does not mention him being a ham, he gets the reference right away, signalling that the characters know that he is Jewish.  This is one of the three main hints that he is playing a Jewish character in the film and the one that sticks out the most to me. In this scene the camera is centered straight on at the two actors, but instead of Mr. Rawitch looking at Mr. Greenberg he is looking at the camera which reinforces what Mr. Greenberg is saying.  He is always trying to get screen time and or thinks he is better than the other characters and won’t look at them unless they make claims about him. After Mr. Rawitch comes back saying “How dare you call me a ham,” the camera cuts quickly to another part of the stage which doesn’t let the joke or line linger and receive an audience reaction as much as it would otherwise.  I think this technique makes you think about the line more than you would have given there be a pause there and it doesn’t give room for the line to be perceived as a joke but rather characterization that factors into Mr. Greenberg’s final monologue and his performance in general.
