Roman Polanski is a french-polish movie director. He’s famous for Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown, The Pianist and other movies, he’s also been involved with a 
lot of disasters in his life, for which he was both responsible for and just a helpless bystander. In 1969 his second wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered along with four other people in their home by the Manson family . What’s even worse was that she was eight and a half months pregnant when she was murdered.
For the next eight years Roman Polanski stayed off the media, and then came the year 1977. On the 10th of march that year his reputation went on a downhill and it never got up to where it used to be. He was charged with multiple charges which stated that he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl.
Now that we know what happened in the past, we can answer the question ,,Is it alright to like Roman Polanski’s movies?”
Well there are of course 2 ways to answer that question. Yes or no. Some people are going to say: ,,Yes, it doesn’t matter who the director is and what he does, the movie should just stand for itself and the people should criticize the movie without considering the facts that have nothing to do with the movie.”, and the people who would answer with a no would probably say that it’s not okay to watch and much less like anything made by such a monster.
I personally think that liking Roman Polanski’s movies is okay because you should like something for itself and not because you just like the person or hate something just because you hate the person who made it. No matter what horrible things Roman Polanski has done, I still like the movie ,,Rosemary’s Baby”, not because I like Roman Polanski, but because I just simply like the movie.
