I accept that Polanski did what he did. I don't accept that those actions should deter me from appreciating his work, or that those actions were severe enough to suggest that everyone should refuse to involve themselves with him in any way. Did he serve substantial time in a federal prison(which, he had reason to be against; he was imprisoned in a Nazi work camp during World War II, which I'm sure you can imagine was a less than fun experience)? No. However, his actions did not go completely unpunished.
So every POW has a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card? WOW! What punishment banished to a mansion...phew...poor guy...
