Music Social More…

so i saw chinatown for the first time the other night

flickmyturtletoo [Edit] [Delete] 10:46, 17 January '13

i watched it knowing it was a one of polanski's better films, and also aware that polanski is a child rapist.

anyway, i really enjoyed the film but felt guilty for this once it was over because...you know...a massive paedo made it. and it got me thinking about art and artists...i suppose it's that old song and dance about being able to separate one from the other. and if, by admiring bad people's artistic endeavours, you're somehow encouraging them in their extra-curricular pursuits...i'm not phrasing any of this very well...does anyone catch my drift as it were?
