Guardian Film Critic tries to rehabilitate Roman Polanski. -

[Trig.Point]

One of the Guardian Film critics wrote a review of Roman Polanski's latest film, 'an officer and a spy'. It's based on a book by Robert Harris who's been a long term collaborator of Polanksi.

An Officer and a Spy review – Polanski's iron-heeled inquest into 189…

At one point it was going to be a major production, but now it's just a typical state funded French movie. Largely because #MeToo happened, and people started to figure drugging and raping a 13 year old girl, wasn't okay even in the 70's and you were an artiste.

The Article seems to have gone below the radar, as the writer uses the term 'statutory rape', which for starters isn't a term that's used by most UK journalists to refer to cases with a massive age imbalance, and secondly was the result of a generous plea bargain which didn't really cover what Polanski actually did to the girl. Also the article implies that Polanski is comparing himself to Dreyfus as being the victim of an Anti Semitic motivated charge, something the writer doesn't seem to disagree with.

I think it's going to go below the radar, the guardian haven't opened the article for comments, probably worried about anti antisemitism.

A bullet to the head will fix all of his problems.

There's only one way to win for Polanski, he's got to come out as a troon and all his sins will be forgiven.

drugging and raping a 13 year old girl,

It's also always worth pointing out that he used her not just vaginally but anally and orally too.
What 13 year old girl doesn't want to get fucked in the ass by an old ugly man?

Don’t knock it till you’ve been paid to try it.

Alfred Dreyfus was a Jewish captain in the French general staff, a man of spotless reputation and character accused of selling military secrets to the Germans. Convicted on duff evidence, he was exiled to flyblown Devil’s Island off the South American coast, railroaded and martyred, like Jesus, or Peter, or possibly Roman Polanski,

Ah yes, who could forget that after Jesus walked on water he brutally sodomized a young girl?

So Dreyfus was born in Alsace before it was ceded to the Germans. While he left a lot of his family stayed behind and became German Citizens, which put him at odds with a lot of the Alsatian expats in France. Robert Harris's book actually explains that there were reasons to suspect him other than antisemitism.

Dreyfus's family actually repaid Piquard the man most responsible for the release of Dreyfrus, by having a newspaper declare him to be an Anti Semite (after one of the Dreyfus brothers got in an argument with him). Which even the most progressive Frenchman saw as a dick move.

I still liked his recent film, Carnage.

 

[Recoil]

Always charming to see more pedo normalization in the media

 

[Idiotron]

The only way in which I could defend Polanski is by saying the obvious:
Anybody would start doing weird shit after their spouse and kids were raped and murdered right in front of their eyes.

Except Polanksi wasn’t a witness to the murder. And he’s been an unrepentant dick ever since fleeing.

 

[Lemmingwise]

A jewish film critic defending a pedo? I'm absolutely shocked.

Also interesting twitter photo for a pedo defender.

I guess he wasn't...
Still, that can fuck a person up and plenty of people are dicks.

Yeah and a very well connected dick. This is a video of a news feature defending him when the US made an attempt to extradite him. Robert Harris the writer of an Officer and a spy is featured.

Friends Defend Polanski

Friends are coming to the aid of director Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland and may be extradited to the U.S. Hattie Kauffman reports.

And if Polanksi ever cited that as a contributing factor for his behavior, that would be one thing. And I’m not saying he’s a dick in general. He’s a dick about his behavior, raping a teenager and trying to make it sound like he’s the victim because he doesn’t want to face the consequences of his actions. And his autobiographies have him telling other stories about sleeping with teenagers. He’s completely indefensible. And one of the reasons why he’s so bold about it is that he works in an industry that protects people like him.

Yeah it protects people partly due to nepotism or talent, and it only throws people to the dogs if they've outlived their usefulness or in the cases of people like Weinstein, his enemies and people he'd fucked over finally outnumbered the number of people who would back him and cover up his bullshit.

Roman was a creeping pedo long before he ever met Sharon, while he was married to her and after her death.

And like a lot of Hollyweird elites he bragged about it in his movies. Chinatown is a perfect example. A movie about a wealthy dude fucking and impregnating his daughter, played by Angelica Huston whose dad, John Huston, was good friends and fuckbuddies with George Hodel, who was tried for fucking and impregnating his own daughter Tamar.


All in the Family.....that's Showbiz folks!!


Roman is scum.

He even bragged about it after the event, implying that the judge was jealous because 'every man' wants to have sex with underage girls.

He initially had a very generous deal with the prosecutor and courts, probably too generous because it caused t enough WTF comments (even in the 70's) that people started to ask questions, which in turn apparently caused the judge to have second thoughts.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

polanski is the best proof of the complete moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy that rule hollywood
//edit: not just hollywood, but the entire western movie industry. he got as much support from continental euro film people as he got from americans

reminder that the same people who now make a huge fuss about weinstein getting sex for favors have consistently defended and supported polanski for several decades, even though polanskis crime is on an entire different level of seriousness than the stuff weinstein is accused of

Yeah, I guess Polanski also use the excuse of being a Holocaust survivor. http://archive.fo/XXSE5

And the name of the movie?
