I am NOT a Polanski-agonist on either side

However, for the record, I don't really like any of his movies. That is all.

1. I adore every one of his movies , they are all masterpieces

And that is no Hyperbole , he is like the Mozart of the Art of Film. no , I think he is closest to Richard Strauss actually , well Strauss has a strong Mozartian element (I use the Musical Arts Analogy because that is what I am most familiar with)

That does not change the fact that he committed a crime and needs to face the consequences. But man , aren't his films just breathtakingly amazing , they will be remembered hundreds of years from now long after all of us are forgotten.

2. aren't his films just breathtakingly amazing ...

uh,.... no ... at least I don't really think so ... but that's just my opinion ... and I always try to have an open mind, so my opinion is not set in stone .... just very semi-permanently cured thinset

:rofl:

3. even the pirate one?

(Which admittedly, I haven't seen - just going by consensus here) And I thought "The Fearless Vampire Killers" was pretty weak (though the classic Jewish vampire gag almost redeems it.) Oh, and Frantic was ok, but not great.

Other than that, all of his movies that I've seen are great, Repulsion in particular.

4. I don't understand the emotion on the old news, he needs to face up, and I'm mixed on his movies

I think he is skilled but I don't always gravitate to his work.
