I'll watch it in support of the key grip, or the hundreds of other people that work on a movie.

Good answer.

I thought it took a shitload of people to make a movie, not just 1?

Yeah Noah Cross is his self insert, even though he actually played the nosecutter

It is quite strange watching the movie knowing that Polanski would go on to commit a crime similar to Noah Cross' and reinforce his film's point about evil men, being powerful, can get away with their sins. He's right in the film, but it's strange that he could/would make that point in a movie and either not see it in his own life or not care. He directed this film knowing Noah Cross was a villain and a monster, why become one himself?

Ah, forget it... you know the rest.

He’s literally not a pedophile

reply

He had not committed the crime when he made this movie. Chinatown is one of the greatest films of the modern era, regardless of how sick the director eventually became; and, not to excuse his crime, but if your pregnant wife had been stabbed to death by a group of wasted, mindless, stupid, smelly hippies, you'd probably end up a little sick as well.

I watched it for Jack Nicholson.

He's only in it for like 3 minutes when it's almost over IIRC

Can't we separate the art from the artist? The movie was great...The Pianist too.
