Talk:Roman Polanski

I've rewritten the awful paragraph found below:

In 2009, while visiting Switzerland, he was seized by Swiss authorities, who, unlike the French, were unwilling to protect a pedophile just to stick it to the United States. He will soon be returned to the US to pay for his despicable actions.

I believe the reasons should be self-evident, but if anyone wants explanation, I'll be glad to discuss. EMorrissey 16:22, 25 November 2009 (EST)

Is it really so bad that there's sex in a movie as long as there aren't shown specific genitals? --Elessar (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

I have never watched any of his movies, but here's a question (a serious one): in real life, if one sees a couple having sex, is it OK for that person to watch that couple? Most people would say "No" -- it's an invasion of their privacy. Why, then, is it OK to have sex in a movie and expect people to watch it? Christians and Jews (and Muslims, but I don't know of any who edit CP) believe that the only people who can and should watch those acts are the people doing them. Does this help? --1990'sguy (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

If you watch a couple having sex you decide it by yourself. You also don't have to watch movies with sex scenes. But I've seen Rosemary's Baby and it isn't like a porn where genitals would be shown. Maybe you've seen Terminator: there are similar harmless sex scenes. --Elessar (talk) 14:25, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

Movies that show sex, even if they don't show specific body parts, bring something into public which should only remain in the bedroom. Also, movie makers do have a lot of influence. Promoting intercourse (and these movies, at least effectively, promote premarital sex) should not be encouraged. It's effectively pornography on film, even if certain parts are not shown. What we see going on now started in the Sexual Revolution. These movies are not harmless (and I might be a boring person, but I have never seen Terminator). --1990'sguy (talk) 14:31, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

And maybe Titanic? There's also a harmless sex scene. Watch the movies, it's really harmless and absolutely not like pornography. And why shouldn't one promote intercourse as long as it's without contraception which means promoting life / promoting conception of children? --Elessar (talk) 14:40, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
