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?
Maybe you’re the one forcing people into neat, categorized boxes. Unlike ~90 percent of men, he apparently didn’t release sexual tension with women, at least not primarily. It’s a simple mathematical elimination of options. So… was this healthy, energetic man fulfilling it with men? Was he asexual? Or were the accusations true? Again, it’s a puzzle piece, not the whole picture…
EDIT: Sure, ignore uncomfortable topics and things you don’t want to believe, independent of the evidence. Just downvote and move on…
