Anonymous asked: Re: CMBYN anon, what student/teacher relationship? What power dynamics problem? The older guy was a foreigner employed by the younger guy's father. The older guy. They had different intellectual pursuits and were intelligible in those fields. Like, I get being irked by the "huge" age gap, but the relationship was hardly a mentor/mentee one.

I’ve not seen the film, but I’ll take your word for it. I think the general complaint I’ve seen along those lines is more in terms of, uh, sexual mentorship, in that one party is experienced and the other isn’t? But either way, I’ve seen nothing whatsoever to say it’s non-consensual.
