Roman Polanski's "Greed"

[walchseewinkl20]

Nice ad. However, Polanski could have been more imaginative. He knows the subject. There is another video on youtube regarding greed that shows the political impact: Peter Martell "Master of Greed".

[ihugtheworld]

what has 99% of these comments to do with this concrete ad?

[bedlamandbroomsticks]

I came for comments on the perfume ad. Sigh.

[saqibk1]

Polanski masterpieces:

The Tenant

Chinatown

Repulsion

Cul-De-Sac

Rosemary´s Baby

Macbeth

The Ghostwriter

The Pianist

[zigifrojd]

@saqibk1 And you forgot Tess. My 3 favourite in order are 1.Chinatown 2.Pianist 3. Rosemary's baby.

[dessay1]

ROMAN! Leave the little girls alone ........we LOVE you, but move on sweetie!

[Tougue in cheek!]

[ortalliberty]

yes stupid. but in Initially it was hot

[DarthCipient]

Anti-Semite = Bad. Rapist = OK. Right Natalie?

[qpMedley]

I like how people think it's "complicated" when a thirteen-year old child is raped. No, it's not:  she was a minor, and he raped her. o:

[cymrutroll]

Why does she not want him prosecuted then

[qpMedley]

@cymrutroll Does she not? I was under the impression she was very interested in prosecuting him. Still, if she's changed her mind, it's not uncommon for rape victims to do so. See, when you say you're raped (especially by a celebrity), everyone decides that you're a slut, that you were asking for it, that "having sex" with someone as hot/famous/rich as the rapist should be considered a blessing. Maybe she thinks that, by not prosecuting, she'll be able to be normal again.

[reflectedandoriginal]

That was stupid....and disgusting....

[ToraydoBull]

The whole thing was a lil too sexual but well played out,however I thought Williams did a better job compared to Ms Best Actress Oscar Winner...btw Nat dropped Dior cos of Galliano.So this is fine now I guess?

[hellokitty4me]

Well, that was stupid... really stupid actually.

[nlcatter]

did he rape portman, - if so could use it to recreate a birkenau scene?

ala shindlers list

[MAKEITWORK]

this is better than her Dior commercial.

[littlepro22]

wtf

[TheBookfan]

@break101 Natalie Portman a hypocrite? No... (sarcasm here)

[MikeScott21]

Love both Michelle and Natalie.

[itsxjoeellleee]

I'M THE SWAN QUEEN BITCH!!

[unkalifornication]

love this...both of my favorite actresses!!

[nienteperniente]

For those who don't know, Francesco Vezzoli is an ingenious italian artist and this spot draws "Belle Haleine", a ready made by Duchamp. It's amazing!

[ItsJillStrif]

Lol Natalie Portman is the face of Dior perfume.

[Suel14]

@ItsJillStrif so true

[ognirgify]

Both Portman and Williams are nominated for Oscar 2011 Best Actress in a Leading Role...when did they shoot this commercial by the way??

[lanser87]

if you watch Wanted and Desired which is a documentary chronicling the Polanski rape trial, you learn that the judge was known for extending trials with big name Hollywood Stars for publicity. Polanski I think was sentenced to a few months in jail which he served then had to go back and see the judge to either get pardoned or more time added. Then Polanski saw no other way out than fleeing.

It's horrible what Polanski did but his victim has forgiven him.

[londonrules48]

Wow. Totally agree with ShelterDogs. Do you think ANYBODY would support rape? obviously not. people like me who don't jump on the anti-Polanski bandwagon understand that there is more to the story that a mean man who raped a young girl e.g. there were drugs involved, it was a different era. And don't act like you even care about the victim herself; she didn't want this case to go any further. Clearly there is so more to this case than meets the eye. Justice is blind without witnessing the crime.

[angelhands92]

why would NP do this for a pedophile??!! OMG!! who cares if he's JEW, what he did is SOOOO WRONG!! btw.. who is this Roman Polanski?

[icyshells]

Roman Polanski is a rapist. He drugged and anally raped a 13 year old girl. If he was not a famous film maker no one would be defending him. It's that simple.

[ItsJillStrif]

@icyshells So true. And she only dropped the case because it's been how many years. It's probably even more painful to her to try to continue it, when people are defending him. She probably just wants to leave it behind her and move on.

[MobHeataEnt]

This kyke got away with pediphilia just because of his status as a Jew and the west's sympathy towards the Jews because of the "holocuast" that means its ok for any Jew to be a pediphile, serial killer, or rapist.

[joseph19699]

@MobHeataEnt YES YOU'RE RIGHT.....HE SHOULD GO TO JAIL AND GET RAPE BY BIG BLACK MAMBA.....HAHAHA---IF HE WAS MAN ENOUGH HE SHOULD COME TO AMERICA AND FACE THE JUDGE...THEN GO TO JAIL AND GET RAPE---SORRY I MEAN SERVE TIME....I DONT CARE IF THEY THINK ANTI JEW....

[2Touchstone]

Polanski is a great film director, who cares if he's a paedo. Caravaggio was a murderer, it doesn't mean you can't appreciate his paintings.

[icyshells]

@2Touchstone Why in the world would you be interested in the perspective of a pedophile?  I"m guessing you wouldn't say that if he raped you or someone you knew? Maybe you're into charles manson too....

[astrgd27]

Rapists have been using the wrong strategies all along. The real way to get away with rape is to make some artistic films! Thanks to Mr. Polanski for this wonderful lesson!

[zzap999]

His Jew friends in hollywood have this "free Barabus" syndrome. "Free Barabus and crucify the innocent!" they all shout.

[HouseOnSunset]

@zzap999 Heil Hitler, meinen sexy schnitzel!

[zzap999]

@HouseOnSunset You mean, heil Frankenberger. That is Adolf Hitler's real last name which is the name of his jewish paternal grandfather. "Hitler" which is a change from "Heidler" is Adolf Hitler's father's stepfather.

[HouseOnSunset]

@zzap999 Oh, ja, ja! Komm, let uz make hott passionate love to a Marlene Dietrich zong!!!

[3kgtvoodoo]

too bad these girls are too old for him,if they were 9,10 13 or so then that pediophile would be salivating.He is a very talented pediophile with the likes of R.Kelly

[spagandtuna]

They should pull an Eichman style kidnap on this worthless cunt.

[mueygringo]

I hope these girls were of age not drugged and later raped. Polanski will live in infamy as the talented rapist. You gotta love the hollywood group. Let him get away with it. He directs movie and is a celibrity. Disgusting!

[joseph19699]

DIRECTED BY A GREAT 13 YEAROLD RAPIST---

[2Touchstone]

@joseph19699

Polanski isn't thirteen, he's about 70.

[joseph19699]

@2Touchstone I NEVER SAID HE IS THIRTEEN---I SAID HE RAPED A 13 Y/O GIRL...GOT HER DRUNK WHEN HE WAS LIKE 36 AND DEFLOWER HER---HE IS JUST A RAPIST IN MY OPIINION--AND I NEVER WATCHED HES STUPID MOVIES---THEY ARE GAY...PUTO JUDIO

[2Touchstone]

@joseph19699

You said he's a 'thirteen year old rapist'. How do you know his movies are gay if you've never watched them?

[MobHeataEnt]

@joseph19699 Watch out now don't go around calling this Jewish guy a pedophile and rapist or else people will call you "Anti-Semitic." There are probably about 80-100 million Semites in this world stretching from Spain south of Morocco to Iran and yet the small number of Jew's (which majority are of Nomadic, Slovak, Russian, decent) think that their the only Semites in this world so when ever someone says something about them their automatically labeled as Anti-Semitic.

[SociopathicNWOElite]

They're all homos, lesbos and pedos in Hollywood

[russcottt]

Stupid.

[pietroasa]

@qitchygirrlR He did in fact rape her.  That isn't the point of the hateful words in this string. Polanski plead guilty to his crime. He served time at Chino. If your complaint is that he didn't serve enough time, then change the system. If your complaint is that he fled the country, then let's extradite him once and for all and see what happens. In the meantime, put yourself in the shoes of someone that receive a fair day in court. Judicial misconduct is wrong no matter the offense.

[antoninprochazka]

Great commercial!

[pietroasa]

Read from the "Gospel of Mark" you redneck quasi-Christian hypocrites! Beat your wives a few more times and abuse your children then tell me when you come to Hell how good of a person you are! Yourself-righteousness is vomitous at best!

[pietroasa]

The comment about Priests molesting children all over the world is dead-on. I guess if someone is a man of the "cloth" it's okay because the message is that "God" says it's okay. The Vatican can pretend it doesn't exist and their Pope can wear a brown shirt from his childhood and that is okay. But God forbid a short Polish man from Jewish descent makes great movies and has sex with young girls is somehow vilified. Get a frickin' life!

[WitchygirrlR]

@pietroasa He didn't have sex with her, he drugged a 13 year old girl and ass raped her. Those are the facts. It's not ok for priests either. I didn't know he was catholic or jewish, that is not the point.

[pietroasa]

Why is it that people that hate Jews don't recognize that their Jesus was a Jew? The same Jew with a big nose. BTW, Polanski isn't a practicing Jew and had a Catholic parent. Does that matter to the bigots? Probably not!

[midguardz]

filthy threesome

[rjglam]

who says university is uneseful?

i've discovered this cause to it.

[huupawel]

he's a genious it's a shame see stupid people who don't know the real facts about polanski case in USA

[editchick]

Try to do a little bit of research into the facts of the case, I know it might be hard with a mind stuck in assumptions.

[Beatnikzombie]

Learn the facts.

[chizulch4]

Dear theshoki, do you masturbate while fantasising about Polanski dying slowly?

[fleshtrashheat]

nice video!

[charliebubblesoar]

then why are you watching this, dummy?

[kuchikirukialovers]

I love Natalie!!! but I hate polanski.

[BarryDennen12]

Raaaapist.

[1longname]

Sorry but why does he have to portray women as sexaul or sensual object? hmmm

[GuysSeriously]

Everyone hates this man but if he were a catholic priest and buttfucked a boy he would get away with it

[Markohoppis]

The Chopin just makes it seem try hard and artsy. It seems 90% of French films have Chopin playing in them, and I imagine Polanski has a natural affinity to Chopin since Chopin was both French and Polish.

[charlesfrith]

Agreed. I read about it and was hoping I could use it for a blog post. But as an ad professional it doesn't feel in the least like an ad.

[Aprinsa]

Not a very good clip. But wow, people are vicious. Bunch of self-righteous people looking down on violence by promoting violence. Who's the real hypocrite?

[Cinema60s]

Wow, hmm, very poorly acted indeed. The music was agitating!!!

[LordGodofMercy]

Don't drop the soap, Roman!

[SuperModelVogue]

and lol at the fucking defense from hollywood.

"he's an artist so let him do whatever he wants, you know us people are above the law and don't need morals or ethics :) "

If I fucked him ass with a knife, can I call it performance art and get away with it?

[SuperModelVogue]

i hate this fucking rapist / pedophile / fugitive coward.

and i hate the cunts who signed either of those hollywood petitions. so that includes natalie portman.

bitch is on my fucking list. i'll never pay for her movies again. [lol like i ever did though]

[HiredGoonage]

Has he blown his head off yet?? Hurry up Roman...you know it's the only alternative to hard time.

[ppinmys]

What a disgusting little child molesting woody allen jew freak from Poland.

I could never defend human waste like this, doesnt matter if hes famous or not.

[HiredGoonage]

Anal rape!

[Jaimetud]

I can actually see him remaking this short about a year from now with two guys in orange jumpsuits in a darkly lit cell. That would be hilarious.

[insomniajo]

lol

[benfrankln]

Oh yeah. That was definitely what we were sayin', beautarded (nice name, by the way).

Famous directors should be able to rape children at will. Nice deduction skills, Sherlock.

And a fine example for your own children, there. I'm sure they'll be proud.

[beautarded]

I am a fine example, for im not the idoit defending child molesters because they are some ot shot director.

[benfrankln]

Right.

[benfrankln]

oh wait. that was kinda lame.

[beautarded]

i hope she has a daughter and at 13 her daughter gets raped( anally too), i highly doubt she will defend the rapist... karmas a bitch.

[rtfirefly0]

Kind of like the sort of karma you can expect from wishing rape on other people's children?

[benfrankln]

oh snap.

[benfrankln]

Thank you for the honesty, rtfirefly0. It's refreshing.

[beautarded]

not others peoples children, but yes natalie portmans, sure do!!! well see if she wants her childs rapist free, i believe in an eye for an eye... she is defending someone that drugged and raped a 13 yr old??? why because he is famous and made her a star, ur a fing tool follower.

[benfrankln]

oh snap.

[kuchikirukialovers]

@beautarded : Don't hope like that, retard! Anyone wouldnt want their child raped. Polanski's a sick bastard, but don't blame the actresses. They defend him, it's their choice. You don't need to blame at them.

[ryanshaunkelly]

Why do all the paid trolls have IP's out of Israel?

Do you think this will make us start & fight more wars for you?!

[SBV123]

Anybody know when this was filmed? Funny stuff.

[WKaliberr]

pedo

[missmephistopheles]

Apparently Portman loves sexual abusers, you rock girl!

[urinalbushrat]

Actually I wonder if Polanski and Charles Manson will be sharing a cell.

[qasl1234]

I was thinking the same thing, or worse with Tex Watson.

[asteroid684]

Now, wouldn't that be interesting.

[urinalbushrat]

Will Micheal Jacksons lawyer be available?

[HiredGoonage]

Ask yourselves, if you came home and found Roman Polanski in bed with your 13 year old daughter what would you want done? If you further found out that he drugged her, prevented her from escaping against her will, and then sodomized her, what would you want done?

Excuse my language but F**K him, and F**K the directors and actors that support him. If I came home and that happened to my daughter there would be no more Roman Polanski.

[beautarded]

well if ur an actress and you want a role, i guess youll sell your soul and little 13 yr old girls soul to get what you want.. these people that defend him are a waste of flesh!!

[HiredGoonage]

Who cares what we read. He will be going to jail, and this is the thing he will be remembered for.

[HiredGoonage]

Nope...damage is done. Damage was done 30 years ago, but the press have shoved it in our face again now in the digital age. This will be the thing he is remembered for. A great pedophile director.

[godstomper]

Ya hes a talented director but he's still a rapist .

Karma got him .

[physiks87]

Could someone explain to me why people are defending a child rapist? Roman Polanski drugged and RAPED a 13 year old girl. Why are people defending this douchebag?

[ppinmys]

Come to the US and stand trial you pansy you sissy.

Why are you crying? Do you want to live forever?

[ShelterDogs]

He did stand trial, and he did serve time in a maximum security prison. He fled the country because the Judge was corrupt and the case was not handled well. Even the victim and both the prosecuter and defense lawyer in the case agreed. Now, now. I'm just stating the facts as they are. Don't rush ahead like so many others commenting here and accuse me of defending Polanski's actions that fateful day. Just stating the facts... which so many seem entirely oblivious to.

[RoboDouche]

That's bullshit. The star witness of the documentary that spread that myth has admitted to lying for the sake of the movie. The 'corrupt judge' was dead and incapable of defending himself against those accusations. He was the perfect scapegoat.

In any event Polanski not only drugged then anally raped a thirteen year old - he fled the jurisdiction. Even if he had fled on a far lesser crime (and even if he were innocent, which he's not) it would still be totally necessary to extradite him.

[HiredGoonage]

whatever pedophile lover

[ShelterDogs]

LoL. It's amazing, if you don't join the "anti-Polanski" outrage foot stomping, you get labeled as someone defending rape and pedophiles. Amazing. I'm simply stating that the case is more complex than what most people understand. It's not a cut and dried case like someone who hid in the bushes and violently raped someone. What Polanski did was wrong, and he should never have fled. L.A. clearly wants revenge on Polanski, that seems like their only motive. Won't look good in court of law, though.

[HiredGoonage]

Not a cut and dried case? How is fucking a 13 year old girl in the ass not cut and dried? This is as black and white as it gets. Pick your side and deal with it. I'm not saying you are pedophile...I'm just saying you support one. Amazing indeed.

[HiredGoonage]

If you people support him it tells me all I need to know about you.

It's the worst crime in the book. Murderers even look down on child rapists. He deserves what's coming to him. Personally I think he's going to blow his own head off, and I'm ok with that.

[warriorprince1010]

@ShelterDogs The case is not complex. Roman knew what he was doing and has done it before, he is a monster. And yes you are defending rape.

[ShelterDogs]

@warriorprince1010 The legal proceedings are complex. Read about the story instead of writing your typical knee-jerk response.

[warriorprince1010]

@ShelterDogs  No they are not complex, read about is and quit making up excuses for a rapist. Pervert.

[ShelterDogs]

@warriorprince1010 If you want to discuss this with me like an adult and in an intellectual way I will do that. But I will not tolerate childish behavior and name-calling. I have no time for that. Good day.

[warriorprince1010]

@ShelterDogs I have no time for rapists or their supporters, hence why I have little time for the likes of you.

[spagandtuna]

@ShelterDogs You dumb jackass the only place the shit you've raised can be answered is in a court of law. But you never wanted it to get there you Polanski syncophant.

[ShelterDogs]

@spagandtuna LoL.

[spagandtuna]

@ShelterDogs No bitch. LOL when unsheltered dogs like Polanski rape your daughter and I defend them on some pseudo intellectual loophole. Then it'll be great day in the morning!!!!

[ShelterDogs]

@spagandtuna Intellect? You show the intellect of som uneducated redneck who's spent their entire life living in a trailer.

[spagandtuna]

@ShelterDogs The only input you've offered here was to acknowledge that what Polanski did was "wrong." You wouldn't even rank as trailer trash, just a trifling pussy who has nothing of any substance to contribute in any forum. So eat shit and wallow in your nothingness.

[ShelterDogs]

@spagandtuna You might want to speak to your doctor about taking a high blood pressure medication. And while you're at it consider taking some anger management classes.

[zzap999]

@ShelterDogs Oh, the sophisticated Jew speaks. Do you work for the Jew ACLU?

[icyshells]

@ShelterDogs What is not cut and dry about drugging and anally raping a 13 year old girl? If you want to defend him, then maybe you should go down to your local prison and start petitioning the freedom of ALL of the rapists in jail, not just the ones who make films you like.

[independentview1]

But I'm Roman Polanski, I'm famous. I've been given awards by the Hollywood elite. You can't expect me to have to obey the same laws as the common folk.

To all you inmates in California prisons: fresh meat is on the way.

[LustForHate]

I just didn't quite know how to get myself out of there." Geimer testified that Polanski performed various sexual acts on her,[20][21][22] after giving her a combination of champagne and quaaludes.[23] In the 2003 interview, Geimer says she resisted. "I said no several times, and then, well, gave up on that."[24]

[LustForHate]

Geimer later agreed to a second session, which took place on March 10, 1977 at the Mulholland area home of actor Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles. "We did photos with me drinking champagne," Geimer says. "Toward the end it got a little scary, and I realized he had other intentions and I knew I was not where I should be.

[LustForHate]

In 1977, Polanski, then aged 44, became embroiled in a scandal involving 13-year-old Samantha Geimer (then known as Samantha Gailey). It ultimately led to Polanski's guilty plea to the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.[19]

[1longname]

@LustForHate

I don't get the guilty plea to the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor

should be RAPE!

Don't flame me if I have good eyes....

[tpreyde]

Perhaps Polanski does understand Chopin's music, but he didn't direct this commercial

[markinkw33]

he raped a girl and left the usa what a total looser

[Bix12]

Polanski clearly understands the real meaning of Chopin's music.
