More on the Roman Polanski Case
Recently I wrote an article regarding the arrest of Roam Polanski in Europe as he tried to cross into the Swiss border on his way to a film festival where he was scheduled to recieve a reward. Since that time, a lot has transpired, which appears to have exposed a sort of rift or fault line that was previously hidden or at least obscured. To put it mildly, the Los Angeles community is rather lit up at this time since Hollywood has taken such an extreme stand in it’s backing of embattles film director Roman Polanski. Is this going to probate or what? I do not know. He already has one of the leading Washington lawyer but the power elite in question of Los Angeles in general and Hollywood more specifically have really rallied behind him. Their appears to be a perception in the mainstream that these elites are essentially ignoring the crimes completely or downgrading them to the status of jaywalking while only focusing on Polanski’s speedy exoneration or release. Speaking of jay walking, Los Angeles based Jay Leno and the other late night talk show hosts have really had a field day with this one, joking about this case virtually every single night. Leno seems to be one of the few Los Angeles celebrities who does not appear to sympathize with his dilemma, perhaps because he is more of a comic than an actor, I don’t know I am only speculating here on that. Letterman is probably just relieved that the uproar that this story has caused is helping to keep his own scandal on page 2 of the Los Angeles Times. Meanwhile Conan O’Brien is milking it for all it is worth. Meanwhile Mrs. Smith of the Chicago Tribune has pointed out in her excellent Chicago Tribune article that the miscalibrated Hollywood/Los Angeles outpouring of grief and outrage over his incarceration (as if he was Ghandi or somebody like that) might have even had the boomerang effect of ensuring him United States prison time because, let’s face the fact, the American public and media backlash was more or less immediate and in sharp contrast to Hollywood’s views. If you need an excellent Los Angeles probate lawyer please take a look at this resource, a top probate lawyer indeed. As if this were not bad enouph, it even may have fueled many people’s stereotypes about “Hollywood types”, which sort of reminds me aof the 1999
film starring Alec Baldwin (sorry bu the name of the film escapes me) where Hollywood was making a movie in a small town and many folks wanted them out of there because they were a nuisance and a moral disaster, with Baldwin playing the star and a womanizing predator, etc. I think it was more of a parody
about Hollywood than a documentary but it drove the point home nonetheless, if you know what I mean.
