Any ‘closeness in age’ clause is strickly state dependent. You remember correctly for most, but not all, states.
So what you’re saying is the Pianist is an alegory for all child molestors to hide from the evil Nazis (decent people) who want to put them in camps (jail), because they can make play piano(make movies) really well.
Nice to know after i rape you, i can just make a movie and you will forgive me.
Well, and again I’m going off of a six month old reading of the transcript on the smoking gun, but here’s the timeline as far as drugs are concerned.
First off, let’s remember that this isn’t his girlfriend, this isn’t somebody who’s always had a crush on him, this is the daughter of an aquintance, and this is his first time he managed to be alone with her.
He keeps her champaign glass full all day, which is a standard predatory trick used to keep a girl from remembering how much she’s been drinking.
As the day turns into night, and she’s well and drunk he hands her a pill and tells her to try it. Speed, I think.
Meanwhile, he was sober enough to ask, while in the act, if she was on birth control, and when she said she wasn’t he asked her when her last period was, and when she couldn’t remember he said not to worry, he’d just finish in the back. And he did.
So the only thing he seemed to care about, as far as her feelings and things went, was to make sure she didn’t get pregnant. It’s clear to me that he was nothing more than a predator.

Well, Sartre did say that hell was other Frenchmen.
It was a Quaalude, not speed. The rest is basically accurate. If you read the girl’s testimony it’ll creep you right out of your skin.
