The tragedy of Sharon Tate to some extent was symbolic, it reflected the terrible connection: cinema, colorfully depicting the crimes, pushes confused young people to commit atrocities that are shown on the screen, and the cinema workers themselves, guilty in the defilement of young minds and morals, are victims of those who they have raised. Roman Polanski in his work has specialized in bloody paranoid "horror movies", and his wife Sharon Tate consistently starred in these films. The audience…
