My Take
I will not pretend there are two ways to read this entry. Weinstein's eye for independent film in the Miramax era genuinely reshaped what kinds of movies could reach mainstream audiences, and that is a fact of industry history. But the abuse of power behind that empire, and his conviction, matter infinitely more. His real legacy is involuntary: he became the catalyst for #MeToo, the case that forced an industry to confront how it shields predators who deliver prestige. I keep this page as a record, not a celebration. The courage of the women who spoke out is the only part of this story I choose to honor.
