Tangled comparisons - concept art to the final film.
why the fuck is the concept art so much better
Actually they were going to do crazy cool animation that would make the film a “living oil painting” but it just proved to be too expensive to mass produce

Dear Cannes Film Festival,
Roman Polanski is a child rapist.
I know I’ve written this exact same letter before, although last time it was to the British Film Institute. I’m sure you are bored of hearing this. I’m certainly finding writing this over and over and over again somewhat tedious but people seem to be struggling with this issue. Still.
So, for the record, Roman Polanski is a convicted child rapist who is also a fugitive from justice.
It doesn’t matter how many “good” films he makes, or how many stupid people make excuses for him because he’s an “artiste”, Roman Polanski will always be a convicted child rapist.
Roman Polanski gave a 13 year old a quaalude in champagne and then vaginally, orally and anally raped her.
I know Polanski has trouble understanding the fact that raping children is a despicable crime for which he should still be in prison. After all, there are no end of rape apologists telling him that it was completely okay for him to rape a child [see: the entire audience the night he won the Oscar for the Pianist].
There is a reason he’s blithering on about equality for women being a bad thing and the birth control pill “ruining romance”. Polanski does not want to take responsibility for the child he was convicted of raping nor does he want anyone to question the clearly illegal sexual relationship he had with Natassja Kinski when she was only 15 years old.
Every single person who pays to see Polanski’s films is supporting rape culture.
Every single actor who appears in a Polanski film is supporting rape culture.
Every single organisation that gives Polanski awards for his films is supporting rape culture.
Every single person who uses the word “historical” to refer to Polanski’s rape conviction is supporting rape culture.
Every journalist who does not mention Polanski’s conviction for rape is supporting rape culture.
Roman Polanski is a child rapist who fled from California because he did not want to go to prison.
Roman Polanski gave a 13 year old a quaalude in champagne and then vaginally, orally and anally raped her.
He should be in prison; not receiving awards at your Festival.

Every time I’m reminded of this it takes me a wee minute to calm down. He gets oscars. Everybody knows what he did. It’s unbelievable. Someone should get this repugnant rapist prick and hang the bastard

I find it grim and incomprehensible that people still give this guy airtime. Not only does he get applause and adulation for showing up at Cannes, but he then gives a speech about how the Pill is “ruining romance” and how he’s against the concept gender equality. Why the hell does anyone treat this like a valid opinion to be quoted in newspapers and movie reviews?? How can SO MANY actors, producers, etc still be so happy to work with him??
