Aftermath.

[Just-Jude]

Should all Harvey Weinstein's films and tv that he worked on, now be banned in the UK?

[cassa333]

No

[ummmm]

Stop trolling.

[-SharonA-]

Why??? Do you think so??

[mushroom25]

//stop trolling//

but it's a fair question though, isn't it? gary glitter and jimmy saville have both been expunged from their respective entertainment spheres....

[Old_Geezer]

You'll be asking if we can listen to Rolf H, or watch Jimmy S next.

[Just-Jude]

-SharonA- "Why??? Do you think so??"

All those serious allegations, should we just ignore them?

[mccfluff]

so punish the actors and all the staff who worked on those films/projects?

that makes sense...

[Spicerack]

I agree with Mushroom, it's a perfectly legitimate question.

[Just-Jude]

mccfluff. They've already been paid, so no loss to them.

[mccfluff]

it is if you have pride in your work and want it to be shown. I don't see why the films or tv shows have anything to do with his behaviour - he won't be benefitting financially from them anymore

[Just-Jude]

Emma Thompson is shocked and horrified, she doesn't sound proud of her work.

[mccfluff]

and does she say "lets ban all his films and tv work" or is she shocked and horrified by his behaviour.?

[Just-Jude]

mccfluff. She hasn't said, but I don't think I'd like my name associated with him.

[Islay]

Mushroom there is an age difference in the victims

[Just-Jude]

If Weinstein comes to the UK again, should the Met have a word with him?

[andy-hughes]

I think we should be able to separate the art from the artist.

We still accept the performance of Wagner's operas, even though he was a raving anti-Semite throughout his life.

Similarly, I still listen to Gary Glitter's music because I enjoy it, and it solves nothing to censor myself in that way. That said, I am always sorry not to be able to play his hits when I DJ at parties, but that is for the sensibilities of others.

I don't think banning his films solves anything - we need to address the culture that has allowed him to behave as he has - censorship of his films does not do that.

[jno]

maybe just the ones with young women in, as we'll know they've been made under duress.

That leaves Master and Commander and Reservoir Dogs, I think.

[-Talbot-]

It's a strange thing is the attitude to sex pests, rapists and paedophiles.

Some like Mushroom has said are expunged ... Glitter, Savile

Some are still revered ... Jackson, Polanski

Weird innit?
