NO IGNORING WHAT THIS GUY DID, NO SETTING CONTROVERSY ASIDE
NO putting - Controversy aside
If we are to be civilized human beings with a future on this planet for everyone, then we have to cull out bullies, exploiters, criminals and abusers and keep them from getting enough money and power to evade the law in the hundreds or thousands of ways people in power do today. It seems like a no-brainer to me, but here you are making a deal about a serial rapist criminal Roman Polanski.
Believe me, there are thousands or maybe even millions of talented people in this world who given the support and money could make movies much better than Polanski's garbage who do not need to be criminal and rapist.
And that goes for all of them. They all, these criminals, continue to create a world that makes it seem necessary to steal, bully, rape and murder and exploit human beings like they do animals and the environment. Face it, this guy is a negative insult to the human race no matter that he can make movies that you might like.
