Yes, I was born in 1964 and I remember what a shock it was one day when I realized WWII had happened only 20 years before. It had seemed like such an alien period because all the pictures and films of it were in black and white, whereas our TV was in color. But it was * so * close in time, really, to my own life. And now, good Lord, I'm much further away in time from my birth than WWII is.

I'm a survivor of extreme childhood abuse and let me tell you, trauma affects your view of the world and shapes your personality. It gets filed into the subconscious and one day when your all grown up you realize the damage that was done and you clearly see all the toxic patterns that have played out in your life. The trauma can manifest in all kinds of ways and even be passed down generations. All without you even being aware.

Dali knows his English would make anybody laugh. But he tries.

For me personally, “The Pianist” always felt more impactful as a movie than “Schindler’s List”. One of the differences being that Polanski actually lived through the Holocaust and survived it. Spielberg told the story of those who did, but he himself did not have that direct, harrowing and horrible experience. Now, that isn’t meant as a competition in suffering, but I think that it is important because those different life experiences really influence the cinematic language of the two movies.

That is the problem with American idea of cult of therapy when every thing (big or little) from childhood supposedly influences person for the rest of his life. It is not true. Every child can have more or less awful experience or witness some awful incident but I guarantee you majority of them don't remember any of it or remember it vaguely on occasion and there is no point on dwelling on it like many today's cult of therapy supporters suggest. You move on with your life, everyone has some bad experience in their childhood but if you gonna dwell on it and blow it out of proportion then it will prevent your ability to develop further. Today we see extremes of cult of therapy when everyone on Twitter blows every little incident happened to them in very distant past (some even just inventing it) out of proportion and makes it as formative of their personality. Person is not defined by one incident or one bad experience. That is why bad experience often is easily forgotten by child.

Roman Polanski lost a child and his wife due to Manson, and felt pretty sorry for him, but later on he was exposed for having sex with a 13 year old girl, and ran rather than give up for what he did. He is now a wanted man for a crime against a child. He is a wonderful Director of movies and that is what is so tragic why do those with true talent do such awful things.

As much as I despise Roman Polanski for what he’s done, I can’t deny the fact he went through the Holocaust as a kid, all the friends and relatives of his he lost and how much of that has badly scarred him for life. “The Pianist” is among my all-time personal fav Holocaust/WW2-based films that I continue to watch alongside Edward Zwick’s “Defiance”, Bryan Singer’s “Valkyrie”, Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”, Oliver Hirschbiegel’s “Downfall”, David Ayer’s “Fury”, Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds”, Chris Nolan’s “Dunkirk” and “Oppenheimer”, Jack Gold’s “Escape from Sobibor”, Robert Young’s “Eichmann”, Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge”, Michael Bay’s “Pearl Harbour”, Yves Simoneau’s “Nuremberg” and the list goes on.

Powerful. And what an interviewer to draw out the guest.

I could listen to this guy all day.

I am Polish. Surprising I enjoy listening to Polanski in English on those early interviews much more then in Polish nowadays. Great Storyteller.

Dick Cavett was such a smart interviewer. There's a couple of times he usurped Polanski and he didn't notice (most of you probably missed it also).

He's blessed by the gods in that he's a survivor of people in the past trying to kill him a number of times. He always regretted that he was away when the Manson nutballs killed his wife, unborn child, and friends. Maybe if he were there, it could've somehow been different. A fascinating man.

Or, to boil it down, opposites attract. She wanted to be more assertive, self-confident, and she felt like Polanski was helping her become that way. He definitely had male chauvinist, egotistical behavior, but one must recall that this was the Sixties and Feminism was still new on the horizon!

He had just lost his wife, child and friends 2 years earlier. During those two years he produced Macbeth. His version of Macbeth was traditional, violent, and bloody. His portrayal of the witches was outcast, marginalized women living alone on the outskirts of society. Sound familiar? It was thus production of Macbeth that has the sky full of bombers droning overhead. As stated a memory of hope for Roman. I personally (used to) think his dalliance(s) with underage women was a struggle to regain a lost childhood or lost innocence. After this interview, and Roman Polanski’s firm and restated denial of that whole spin... well, let’s just say ‘I stand corrected!’

@Ben Rosen. The Democrat party will pardon him. They are the party of the criminal and pedophile.

When Roman Polanski was finally captured after evading justice for 30 years or more, he snaked out of accountability once again with the help of a judge who didn't care what he did to a young child. The most disgusting part of Polanski's sickening actions are his female defenders: Debra Winger, the head of his film appreciation club (no, I kid you not), called his arrest "the most painful thing that ever happened to me in my life". Really, Debra? As painful as being raped and sodomized as a 13 year-old girl? Whoopee Goldberg, that paragon of morality and empathy, questioned whether what Polanski did was "rape-rape". As opposed to your average, every day rape. Well gee, Whoopee, he gave a 13 year-old champagne, then half a Quaalude (not a good mix with alcohol), then raped and sodomized her. If it had been Her child, would she have questioned whether it was a real rape? Meryl Streep defended him with no sense of empathy or even awareness of his 13 year-old victim, and, most creepily, his biggest defenders were Harvey Weinstein, who called it "an alleged rape" (this was a few years before his own sexual attacks on actresses came to light), and Woody Allen; yes, Woody Allen, who questioned society's morals in viewing what Polanski did as wrong. Look it up. It's far weirder than you can imagine. If a child predator like Woody Allen who took nude pictures of his children and then married his almost-adopted foster care daughter isn't a moral authority, who Is? Who knows what rock Polanski slithered off to now? I imagine he and Bill Cosby would share some good laughs together. But the most disappointing thing to me are the attitudes of the very same women who purport to stand up for women's rights; only not, when it's a pig whose films they like.....

Not true. The Swiss authorities took Roman's crime seriously; that's why they arrested him in 2009. The reason they released him, after months of house arrest, was because Marina Zenovich's documentary revealed corruption on the late Judge Rittenband's part, which indicated that the original case was a sham and that the investigation needed to be re-opened. When the Los Angeles district attorney's office refused to admit fault on the part of Judge Rittenband, the Swiss authorities recognized how corrupt the case was in the U.S., and Roman was released.

There is a simple explanation, perhaps, to what they're talking about around minute 11. It is accepted that one misses what he loses more than what one never got. People who are 18+ remembered the time from before the war, so they may miss it. People who never really got to know it, cannot miss it. And, as Romański said, accepted the war as default situation on the start.

Can't even imagine living through the sort of horror he did and at such a young age, yet coming out the other side, creative and brilliant and so successful...

If anyone deserves to be loved as a human being, and not just an artist, it is Roman Polanski, there was never a more important time to do so than now to heal the world, love is the biggest therapy and rehabilitation for our scarred souls to bring them back to our lost innocence. Our sins are often given to us by the world helping us to create cycles throughout generations, to stop those cycles we have to transcend who we've been, we're not our bodies, our minds, our actions of the past, we're bigger than that, and start from there, inner and outer, how I see myself I see the world, to see the man of the past is to be lost in who I've been, to see the man of an unknown potential, is to be myself a man on a new self created path that changed the course.
