What did Polanski even accomplish to have such reverence in Hollywood? I've seen two of his movies. The Romeo and Juliet we were forced to watch in High School. Then The Ninth Gate, which I do actually like. But it's very cheesy and nowhere near some kind of Oscar-worthy art film. So what movies did he do that people still stick up for him? The Pianist? Chinatown? I might could understand a Mel Gibson and RDJ situation where he helped one or two actors despite being trash. But to demand such respect for decades after being convicted is nuts.
Chinatown is legitimately one of the greats and it's probably the movie that come closest to depicting how power looks and acts in this world. Might be the best film in the noir genre too.
Carry Fisher and Ford had a relationship while filming Star Wars, he was 35 and she was 19-20. Granted Fisher always maintained it was a healthy consensual relationship, but between the age gap and the fact she was out of her mind on coke at the time I still call it sus at best.
A turning point in his life took place in 1969, when his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and four friends were brutally murdered by members of the Manson Family.
I thought that was common knowledge but yeah, Sharon Tate was pregnant with Polanski's kid. And it was his house. He had a film shoot or something going on so he wasn't there, otherwise he probably would have died that night too.
He hand delivered Polanski's oscar, fuck Harrison Ford. Probably a pedo.
