Did you actually read the link they posted? If so, why are you so quick to jump to the defence of a sexual predator? 🤔

Nope didn't read. Admittedly, thought it was just the movie wiki and didn't go that far. I made comment about the movie not the director. In the context of the article and allegations against Coppola, I am not defending gross and entitled behaviors. Another example of how complicated it is to consider or enjoy the art of transgressors.

Should probably read things before chiming in. At least, if they're pivotal to the conversation.

Not going to digest an entire article for a link with no context, which on its face doesn't suggest the actions of an individual. Why would I pick out that aspect? Why am I the defender against allegations of bad behavior? That's ridiculous.

Edit: when I first responded there was no direct link to the allegations section, it was just the wiki for the movie. A link without context saying "fuck this". But hey, people apparently know the intentions of strangers from a single hot take, what a skill. Enjoy your echo chamber.
