It’s a movie starring his nephew in the lead role, approved by his estate, and by all accounts it just feels like an attempt to whitewash him. This is a man who was accused of being a serial child molester, settled with a family out of court for $25 million just to avoid a trial (Chandler), and openly admitted he slept in the same bed as kids while he was an adult (Bashir interview), among other things. I don’t really see what there is to debate.
Anything pointing this out gets backlash on movie-related subreddits, which I find wild. It makes me wonder, if Epstein could sing and dance, would he have gotten a biopic too? Would people be defending him like this?
Sadly, no. Although he seemed like a much nicer rapist i guess. So there’s that.
This whole thread is long well written comments that show all sides and provide good info and you’re just there replying to almost all if them with “NO, HE RAPE! 😡”. You’re making such a fool of yourself and it’s been hilarious to scroll down and see more and more of your dumb comments.
