Polanski ? His childhood was horrible (during WW2), mother murdered at Auschwitz, he himself a survivor of the Krakow Ghetto, and his wife and unborn child were butchered by Charles Manson’s disciples. Up until the 1970s, he enjoyed the sympathy of the public because of that. That’s why I said he turned from victim to victimizer with what he did to that young girl.
Oh. Didn’t know all that about him. I hear the drugged and molested 13-year-old in hot tub, and just stop there. No interest in seeing any of his movies, ever. Although I did see Rosemary’s Baby when I was eight and understood nothing. My father and I had a week of quality time alone, and he took me to see his kind of movies. So long as I had some popcorn, candy and coke I was good.
