Not only am i seeing justice issues with this crime but i criticized the media always for doing this. Media always gives extra exposure to stories that are not worth it. In a way i feel the media is making the situation worse for Polansky. I may be biased on my arguement, being a Polansky fan myself, but it is true, he is now portayed as a pedafile and all of the art he has created is being under looked. For many who did not know who Polansky was before, the news has hit every medium and reached so many different audiences that he is now known to this people as this horrible sex offender Hollywood director, and not for his work.
Polansky has many Hollywood supporters, those include whom i consider a genius, Woody Allen; but then yet i question... Woody Allen's personal life is not one to commend. Still, it does not take away from their work and from the fact that many people can not seperate a public figure's work from their personal life. The media has made it that what sells is the tragedy and the horrible habits of this public figures, and therefore they enhance every aspect to a higher level. On the other hand, we have our justice systems; who understands United States Judicial Court, that is one question to remain unanswered, however, my input towards it is that is full of crap! Rules are broken, exceptions are made and wrong people are prosecuted. I am sure that there are many other international issues for our Secretary of State Ms. Clinton, to take care of and not waste her time with France's appealed to release Polansky from Swiss authorities; Polansky should have never been arrested in the first place. Hey! U.S. Judicial Court, Media and world citizens (mostly americans) stop sponsoring this barbarous behavior and concentrate on issues that matter, such as supporting the Queen of Jordan in her chase for destroying nuclear weapons. Oh wait a minute, now you know what i am talking about because Obama is now in on it and speaks about it at the General Assembly but guess what? The Queen of Jordan has been after this issue way long before Obama decides to speak of it.
Interesting point here. I think one could also argue that the reason that he was never brought to justice in the first place was because he IS a celebrity. Does being a genius give you special rights? in the media? in the courtroom? Here is a counter, feminist perspective:
