What do you mean by reconcile the two? What is it exactly, that you want him to do? He could have paid for his crime and continued his career & life. It's not a case of because his life sucked, he gets away with a crime. That doesn't even make sense as a reason to pity someone.
I don't feel sorry for Roman Polanski because "he got away with a crime". I feel sorry for RP because of the Holocaust and Sharon Tate. The fact that he escaped further persecution actually makes me feel good inside. It's about time terrible things stopped happening to him. And I chalk it up to karmic justice.  |

Marv I have since edited my post as Carnage slipped my mind which is worth mentioning. I thought "Carnage" was great! Many of the classic Polanski elements are here. So nice to see a great director not slipping while he moves into his later years. |

Which goes back to what I said in the first place and which you seem to fail at. I can pity his life experiences without connecting to the fact he's a on the lam for rape and my lack of desire in making a criminal richer. He is not be persecuted just because he faces the same charges that every other rapist does that doesn't have his money or connections. |

Child rapist and pedophile and rotten human being. The fact that he made a few good movies doesn't grant him any kind of immunity for his loathsome crimes (the current number of accusations against him is about 11 at this point). Many people have lived through the horrors of war and did not become perverts as a result. The fact that this is used as an excuse to condone Polanski's filthy behavior is an insult to other survivors. As for poor Sharon Tate, he treated her like dirt, controlling the way she dressed and wore her makeup, and forcing her into threesomes with other women to fulfill his sick fantasies, despite her protests. He refused to sleep in the same bed with her after she got pregnant and demanded that she have an abortion. When she refused, he flew to Europe and had an affair with Michelle Phillips. If she hadn't been murdered, she just may have ended up miserable, drug- or alcohol-dependent, or possibly mentally ill as a result of Polanski's cruel treatment of her. Besides the forcible rapes, he also had several "consensual" affairs with underage girls. Anyone who defends this creep as some poor tormented artist should be ashamed of themselves. How is Polanski a pedophile? Are you just throwing that term around to get some credibility to justify your own hatred of Polanski? That is an interesting point you have brought up about other holocaust survivors; but people also deal with their own traumas in their own way. Yes, Polanski is arrogant and self-entitled and in spite of whatever went on behind closed doors with his relationship with Tate, she didn't have an abortion and Polanski's 8month yr old child was brutally and disgustingly butchered along with Sharon. I think that pretty much overrules and negates any other domestic issues they may have had. Hollywood marriages rarely last. Most are born out of personal agendas and narcissism. Tate was still a grown woman and it is typical of other women— like yourself—to blame on men for their own insecurities and naivety about men and how they think they should be treated, just for being "special" female. How is that empowering. That is being needy and anemic. I don't think Polanski even understood or knew what the fuss was about regarding his arrest for having sex with a minor. It wasn't an issue where he came from. People think that his "mature for her age", sexually experienced 13yr old victim who had an adult for a boyfriend, who lied about her age, was a doe eyed innocent child. She frickin' wasn't and she was a schemer just like her mother. Why was her tramp mother, whoring out her 13yr old child for a nude photo shoot with Polanski? She too, is a disgusting, perverted rotten human being. Or do you give her a free pass, just because she is female, huh! Yes! Shame on you! Yes, Sharon Tate was a grown woman, but she was still a product of her time--a wife who had to obey her husband, no matter how bullying and depraved he was. That's what wives did half a century ago. And of course the 13-year-old girl was likely set up by her conniving mothe.a But a child of that age still bears little responsibility for this, and your accusing her of being a "schemer just like her mother" shows that you have little understanding of children (or for some reason are trying to justify pedophilia). Polanski was (and probably still is) a sexual predator and decided to take advantage of a child just because the opportunity was there, and probably reasoned, like you have, that it was okay to drug and rape her because she'd already been "broken in." Just like he went after another girl, a 15-year-old, because she'd been raped by her father, and he probably decided it was okay because she was "damaged goods" or one of those other sick phrases that these deviants use to prey on minors. No, I don't give the mother a free pass just because she is female. And I don't give scumbags such as Polanski a free pass just because he is male and, as Polanski himself claimed, in his own words, "Everybody wants to f*** young girls!" Maybe he's too depraved to "understand...what the fuss was about," but in fact, most men don't have these sick cravings for children. Polanski and his defenders shouldn't try to give decent men a bad name. Shame on you and everyone who tries to rationalize what he's done. |

Used to be a time when it was just the movies from the 70's.
And its terrible what he's endured in life. Victim of Nazi persecution. Sharon Tate/Charles Manson.
But the molestation charges... Bottom line? He never paid for that crime. He's not exempt because of previous suffering.
But I have to ask... exile? From where? From Europe because of the Nazis, or from the US because of the molestation charges? If its the former I have no sympathy. He spent the last few decades evading US law while living with all his money, making movies and having Hollywood actors flock to his locations. That's not exile. That's freedom outside of countries with extradition.
My point of view says that yes, he gets a free pass. I feel sorry for him. I think he's had a haunted existence. And the girl wasn't, apparently, all that traumatized. She says so all the time. If she can forgive him so easily, it shouldn't be so hard for others to do the same. You're right about my incorrect use of the word exile.. I should have said "self-imposed exile", or "fleeing the country". Good for him. He has self-preservation instincts. So basically you don't have a problem with an older man raping a 13 year old girl. Ok, got it. |

Errrrr! How hasn't he paid?  ?
Uhhh.... How HAS he paid? Was he in jail for the crime? When he does time for what he did then he'll have paid. Until then he's evading the law. What's hard to understand about that?

Yes, Polanski was in jail for a crime he pleaded guilty too. THEY LET HIM OUT. Are you only hearing what you want to, because of your own hate and displaced feelings of anger and aggression, for something that you refuse to look deeper into? Actually, if I remember correctly,it wasn't jail bit 90 days in a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. They did indeed let him out at 42 days. That's on them, he can not be judged on what the hospital decided. |

He's a talented director that happens to be an absolute piece of shit.
And Hollywood is FULL of HUGE hypocrites that are all for this #METOO movement yet stood by pedo Polanski . Its truly sickening & baffling.

Yes, I wait and hope every day to be forgiven by the likes of a good, good man such as Polanski. There's nothing like the twisted logic of pathetic rape apologists. Where Polanski's going, he'll be able to get together with Manson.

Oh, we know who envies whom, right? That's part of what rape, particularly child rape, is about. Have you tried Lavalife? It may help.

Are you only hearing what you want to, because of your own hate and displaced feelings of anger and aggression, for something that you refuse to look deeper into? A) He only admitted to having sex with a minor, he did not plead guilty to a crime. There is a difference. One is punishable by the law and the other just makes you a dick. And B) Spending 42 days in prison is not a fully carried out sentence.

Pedophilia is not okay even if the mother of the child says that it is okay. I think it is horrible that he didn't go to prison.

You are being obtuse lenlen? He admitted to having sex with a minor under a legal plea deal. That is the same as pleading "guilty" under the law. So no, he is no a d!ck, and you are the one that is coming across as one. If he only spent about 45days locked up under psychiatric evaluation, then that onus IS ON THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. THEY LET HIM OUT.
Yes, I know you are only hearing what you want too. If Polanski had spent 10yrs in prison and had broomsticks shoved up his ass everyday by Big Bluto, you would still be calling out for his blood. What does that say about you hmmmm?
If Polanski had spent 10yrs in prison and had broomsticks shoved up his ass everyday by Big Bluto THEN he would have paid for his crime.
I'm coming across as a dick while you're defending a child molester? OK. You win. Ladies and gentlemen, we've just entered crazy world. And this is where I check out. Au revoir!
