What is in “Hugo” that is getting it brought into this thread?
“Hugo” probably doesn’t belong in the thread per se regarding child abuse. It is a film that has film makers patting themselves on the back for how wonderful they are. There is though another theme about the indifference and cruelty of French society towards its orphans.
I introduced the film while heralding the thought that the entertainment elites should be forgiven their sexual crimes, since they’re so gifted. Obviously, in sarcasm, but not that far off when you consider reality. The ‘Gifted’ part (entertainment industry narcissim to the max) was a central theme of Hugo.
Consider Roman Polanski, and I think you’ll begin to see the sense of my touching on this.
Here we have three entertainment players. I can only imagine the defenses of these folks before this is over.
