Polanski raped and buggered a child, and has somehow managed to portray himself as the victim.
As I saaid earlier I agree totally with Jan on this.
I was reading through this thread and one other to find the posts about The Ninth Gate as we watched it last night.
Not successful, but lots of other incredible stuff in this thread.
Jan said he had viewed this film several times in an attempt to understand the mind of Polanski.
(Something to that effect). His attraction to this dark world is something I would like to have him explain. I have read he was abused terribly in childhood.
Too many connections, none of them good...in this thread, I mean.
I am of the opinion that most serial killers have been created. Pre MK ULTRA such a person was rare. In fact off the top of my head I can only thnk of two, the Tx. Tower shooter and the killers made famous by the book and film In Cold Blood.
Over all I thought the film was interesting but the ending left me cold. She- "green eyes" -Polanski's real life wife was one of "them"- and "turned" the "hero"????
And yes, Dennis Hopper, full circle.
