HOLY SHIT I thought I'd just preview a bit of the film before I bought it and I got so sucked in after 5 seconds I nearly ruined it for myself! This is gonna be gooood
Polanski had nothing to do with the idea of the scene, that was written by Bob Townsend and it's considered by many film historians to be the greatest original screenplay ever written for any movie. All Polanski did was translate the scene to the screen and he did a fine job of it, because I felt the drama and tension in that scene alone, better than any shit film that comes out in Hollywood today. I can't hold account on what he did years later, but he is one of the best filmmakers ever.
Okay, then Bob Townsend is the woman-hating sicko who probably jacked off to this scene along with Polanski. To my knowledge, no woman has ever written a story or script where a female character physically abuses a man with such passion. I guess men fantasize about this sort of thing.
@MILFHaunter Polanski wanted the tragic ending....Robert Townes wanted the happy ending....The tragic ending stayed because Polanski had more power at the time.

Fucking Roman Polanski probably came up with this scene in his sick, perverted, misogynistic, pedophilic brain while raping that young girl. I'm sure it got him off to see Jack smacking Faye around, the son of a bitch. Who else could think up a scene like this where a woman gets smacked around repeatedly but a woman-hating sicko? May Polanski's soul burn in hell.
"Roman Polanski is not a pedophile....that girl wanted to have sex with him."
@LickMyCuntMoFo What? First of all, the girl was not willing. He drugged her. Secondly, even if she were a willing participant, it doesn't change if someone is a pedophile or not. The definition of a pedophile is an adult who is attracted to and has sex with children. The girl was 13, still clearly a child. In short, any adult who has sex with a child, whether the child objects or not, is a pedo.
first time i heard this i shat bricks

This movie came out 3 years before the rape so he couldn't have been thinking of this scene while raping the girl.
