A lot of people just felt sorry for him losing his wife and unborn baby so horrifically and gave him a pass. Your past pain doesn’t serve as an excuse to hurt others, thiught

That clip of QT on Stern defending Polanski is a damning piece of audio. His dismissal of the victim as a "13 year old party girl" had extremely disturbing implications.

"Consensual" "Champagne and quallude."

He admitted to one and there are plenty of others who came out with similar stories. It is just gross that people act like he was the victim.

I shudder to think how many children have been abused in this industry - and how many women have been violated, too. The fact this thing still has respect sickens me!

Emma Thompson originally signed the petition but later asked for her name to be removed after a conversation with 19-year-old college student and activist Caitlin Hayward-Tapp.

Amber heard is not a predator. Bet Johnny would be mad if they hit him with that

What horrifies me the most about Polanski is that Samantha Galley wasn't the first underage girl he assaulted, and she wasn't the last. Too many people excuse him because they think it was an isolated incident. As if assaulting one child wasn't horrible enough this creep has left a trail of victims behind him.

I don't understand why we just accept celebrities like Tarantino who straight up said that having sex with a minor isn't wrong, it's just illegal. I'm sorry but just saying "yeah I just wasn't educated back when I said that" after already making it in Hollywood is disingenuous at the very best. No, Quinton. That's not good enough. I need to see you write a 500-word essay on exactly why you think it's now wrong to fuck kids when you didn't think that before. Anyone who says that, I immediately think they probably have an underage 'body count" themselves that they don't ever talk about.

The part with Martin Scorsese and Michael Mann hurt me the most since those were two of my favorite directors. I'm also having second thoughts about supporting Johnny Depp while Amber Heard was ruining his life.

“We won because Roman won” if that doesn’t sound like a cult to u then idk what to tell u

That Johnny Depp defense was pretty dumb.

And this point, your kid would be safer with the mafia than Hollywood

I lived in Paris in 2009 when the Polanski brouhaha was happening, having been sent to work in the French office of my company. A lot of people who were defending Polanski simply had the facts wrong. They would say the girl was 16 or 17 and that Polanski fled the US to avoid an unfair trial. They were surprised when i told them that the girl was 13 and that Polanski had pled guilty.

It’s not ambitious, he admits everything, he needs to be in jail.

Them names on that list are most likely on the Epstein list also.

Would Johnny Depp leave Polanski alone with his 13 year old daughter and be ok with him taking pictures of her topless?

The ending to this essay was truly chilling. The piano playing in the background for Polanski winning the Academy Award for The Pianist, sounding ominous and horrifying. Amazing video brother. I am dumbstruck at the number of artists that supported him. Johnny Depp?! And considering the case that just ended where he was a victim of abuse. Quentin Tarantino?! It's just too sickening what this kind of treatment makes someone infallible, no way that's right and the people who've supported him are being ignorant.

In interview Polanski didn't seem to believe that he had done anything wrong. I wonder what his morals are regarding the age of consent. Quentin Tarantino did try to defend Polanski on the Howard Stern show - Stern pointed out that he has two daughters around that age and that they are not mentally capable of consenting to sex. He further said to Tarantino 'what if it was your daughter - you would want to beat the shit out of him.' Polanski himself had a daughter - if he had discovered that at age 13 she had had sex with a 45 year old, would he have been ok with that? Somehow I doubt it. I believe that he has to live with the shadow of what he did hanging over him. Polanski said that all men want to f**k young girls - that is girls who have not fully developed into adults. For anyone to wish to do this I believe have something amiss in their minds. I did enjoy Tess Of The D'Urbervilles but I generally don't like his movies. They tend to be dark and involve abuse of women. There is a book about Sharon Tate in which it is claimed he was abusive towards her. Everything about him seems to indicate that he doesn't see women as equals and he believes that because he is an acclaimed director that different rules apply to him. I have just been watching an interview with Polanski in which he describes his formative years and he said that he was 'just 12' when he was told that his mother had died in the concentration camp and was not coming back. Clearly he regards 'just 12' as being a child. The girl he drugged and raped was just 13 - almost 14 when he did so. Not much older than 'just 12'. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsd2arqpybvInqc.html

Bret rattner shouldnt be surprising either

A 13-year old minor child doesn't have the legal right to agree to have sex with anyone especially an older adult...Polanski's attempt to justify the act was specious hence his legal troubles.....

Well done video and message. This needs more views.

The woman in white behind rob marshall was disgusted

The idea that Roman Polanski was going to have a photo session with a teenager is a ruse. It was Polanski simply creating an opportunity to have an extended time alone with this teenager. And I am having a very hard time believing that the mother was this naive and gullible. The mother should have been investigated. When Polanski ran to Europe the first thing he did was have a new fifteen-year-old girlfriend Natasha Kinski. He made her very successful as an actress.

You did a great job doing this video! Hope more people see it.

He deserves jail.

This should have more views!! Thank you for this, keep making stuff!

This list is painful.

This was a fantastic, informative video. Perfectly answered my questions about it. I hope you make more videos in the future

Man you deserve much more viewes Great and informational video!

Hey. Thanks for making this video. It was interesting to watch. Such a shame the line between right and wrong is often unstable and gets manipulated. One day things will change I hope!

The way this is set up for the ending is most OUTSTANDING!! it really put chills down my spine.

This is a very well made video. This deserves more views.

Amazing video. I was thinking about making something similar, given how (in my opinion) people don't talk about this topic NEARLY enough. Hopefully this reaches more people who care about film.

I'm commenting because I want this video to be seen by more people and leaving this comment will hopefully further spread this video into KZfaq's algorithms. I did also want to add that actresses Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep both have publicly supported Polanski, and there are photos of Harrison Ford smiling with Polanski when he delivered the Oscar. The whole situation is a very depressing thing but it's important people are aware of it so again, I thank you for making this video.

new subscriber but I admired the way you explained it, I hope you take this channel to the next level

AMERICAN CULTURE??? TRY GLOBAL. At least the US tried to do something. European countries like France kept him safe!

Just found this hidden gem upload again!!

Nicely done

great video

I'm surprisingly impressed with Howard Stern. He really spoke up powerfully against Polanski's act.

you gained a subscriber for that ending

Funny how your professional success is a valid excuse for horrible crimes. Look at Norman Mailer. He stabbed his wife twice at a party and suffered no legal or social consequences.

Johnny you have a young daughter would you let her be alone with hem

Duh. He was the adult in this situation. He made a conscious voluntary decision and choice to abuse a very minor minor. He must face the consequences of that decision. Not her…..double duh 😮

Money is the most dangerous weapon

did a great job on this video

It is shocking to me jowls may people defended him. It wasn't until two years ago that I read the account of what happened and it still makes me mad. I don't support cancel culture in most instances but rape of a 13 tear old even if consensual certainly is a reason to cancel. If the law won't punish then perhaps canceling them as a culture is the only recourse in situations like this.

unrelated, but i love the background music! michael cera should make more folky instrumental music

The key scenes in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood that film are the Steve McQueen speech when he explains that Sharon specifically got him over to Hollywood without having any romantic involvement with him, and the one where Manson turns up to the house to find Terry has moved. You can try and destroy him all you want, but we all know what Hollywood are.

I first heard of the petition precisely 15 minutes ago. I’m in shock.

I think a lot of people think because he could have been killed in the holocaust that he must be good and it all must be lies or explainable. He's not someone like Otto Frank. More people need to see that.

Words fail me to describe this blind cruelty of this Polański's lynch mob. But you can see it at work at its finest everywhere on the internet.

I have hard time believing that Nicholson knew nothing

Watch the film "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired." Polanski's alleged victim from 1977, years later refuted the whole rape matter saying "it was never a big problem for me."

Are you on twitter?

Peer pressure and shaping of a narrative can come a long way. I remember how journalists used to talk about Polanski around 15 years ago. One report said that he 'seduced' a 13-year old girl. They didn't even mentionthe druging and never called it rape. So based on that, I was inclined to think that his arrest in Switserland was an overreaction to an old lawsuit. So imagine you were a career driven film maker in Hollywood in a pre-metoo era, who got told to sign that Polanksi petition. Would you have been enlightened enough to refuse? I think we all like to believe that we would. But it's important to know that we're all vulnerable to fall into this culture of excusing abusers. I can still see it with Michael Jackson fans. And it's easy to view Donald Trump followers as brain washed cult members for supporting a sexual predator. Just remember, you may have made mistakes in the past. Let's at least use these cases to learn from them.

Roman Polanski never dated Angelica Hudson. The crime and R happened at Hudsons and Jack Nicholson's home. Jack and Roman were friends.

Did I miss something regarding John Landis???

What is good about fame with no respectability ??? He has none, nor will he ever🐷

They are all sell outs !

Whoever signed the petition was definitely on the Epstein List as well." 🏌🏾‍♂️

A thoughtful and necessary video. I used to love Tilda Swinton from her very earliest movies so I was gutted when I first learnt that she had signed this. But I actively started to dislike her when I read that, when approached by a Guardian reporter post-Weinstein, her (well, probably her rep's) response was that she "would like to graciously pass on being interviewed." Who the f*** uses "graciously" to describe their own actions? What a detestable, self-important person she clearly is. I don't particularly care for Natalie Portman but at least she did publicly recant.

Chinatown is a masterpiece. ∆

I'm pretty sure Lynch only signed that shit because Monica Belucci signed it

She can not say yes

It's fuck up and wrong

I see your point but no one could do what polanski does in films as well as him, new or old. Polanksi is still a hard one to have an opinion on for me but he is still undoubtedly one of the best

7:30 what a babe nice job

Judge not not to be judge

He paid the price. Enough with this crap. Move on

Get on a pole

He made a mistake and paid for it.The girl herself has spoken out about the importance of forgivness and leting go. But you should examine your own anger and how it looks for it´s own paths in the world. I would watch that video. Your own motivation for keeping this wound open.

He PAID GOOD MONEY FOR PROP A G AN DA . SAVE ME LIST. IM OK LIST U WANNA Q LOOD LIST.
