I'm also pretty sure Ronan is Frank's son.<br /><br />I don't begrudge you these feelings at all, given what you've been through yourself.<br /><br />I HAVE compartmentalized my feelings about Mr. Allen. I enjoy some of his movies and I think he is a gifted screenwriter and director, but I also think he is a pervert. I'm not sure how these two things coexist in my head, but they do. Perhaps they shouldn't.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-30845178933352366582014-02-04T22:02:32.639-05:002014-02-04T22:02:32.639-05:00Blue Gal- Just my thoughts.

And it never ends and it's so destructive. <br /><br />turquoisemoon- Diane Keaton's speech upset me too. And truly I adore her. We live in a strange world.<br /><br />Rubye Jack- I know that many people truly find meaning in Mr. Allen's movies. I have frankly never really been one of them. I can appreciate his humor, his ability to get the best actors. But I do not find his movies anything which change my life for the better. I know that there are instances in which molestation charges are made up for reasons I hate to contemplate. But I can't believe that Mia Farrow would do such a thing. <br />But you are right- we will never truly know. And if he and Soon Yi are really in love, well...good for them. Still, my gut tells me that there is something very wrong which happened there. <br /><br />Sabine- Well, we can all have opinions, obviously. And I have mine and it is admittedly biased due to my experience. But yeah, I thought that was a really good piece.<br /><br />Syd- Succinct. Thank you.<br /><br />heartinhand- Good for Woody that you didn't see him today. <br />And yes, Ronan's eyes look nothing like Woody Allen's. He is such a beautiful boy.<br /><br />Angella- Why would she? Why WOULD she?<br /><br />Ms. Vesuvius- On this subject, I will never shut up. Trust me.

It angers me beyond believe the people that hide these criminals behind the "genius" label or the "robes of the church," it's just utter horseshit. <br />I'd like to see Woody Allen today because I'm in such a foul mood, I could make him pay for his sins. <br />Ronan has to be Frank's!

When I read the first pro WA reactions to the open letter, I was trying to imagine how these must feel like a punch in the guts for other victims. <br /><br />In this case, it seems it's not just the man who is believed more readily but for whatever reason his fame and artistic talent must be considered as mitigating factors. Why? <br /><br />This here sums it up quite well, but your post is way better!<br />http://thenewinquiry.com/blogs/zunguzungu/woody-allens-good-name/Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-39899875770134813022014-02-04T12:35:17.732-05:002014-02-04T12:35:17.732-05:00Woody Allen can indeed be shrill but I am a huge f...Woody Allen can indeed be shrill but I am a huge fan. As for the accusations of child molestation, none of us begin to know what actually happened or if anything at all of a sexual nature happened between Allen and Mia's children. Soon Yi is still with Allen today and so it might be assumed she is happy with him and perhaps she even is in love with him. <br />I also hate pedophiles and cannot even begin to comprehend the things they do. I just don't get it. I had a close friend whose 5 yr old daughter at the time said that an adult friend "touched" her and everyone around this family ostracized the man. A year later the child told her mother she had made it all up because her counselor kept encouraging her to say things she knew were not true, but she wanted to please the counselor. Indeed a child should be believed but I also think we should exercise caution in our accusations before we begin to accuse. <br />I am very sorry for those of us who have suffered abuse as children. We were innocent and we still continue to suffer today, but for me I would like to exercise tolerance until I know for sure that a person is not being persecuted because of sheer jealousy and envy. Who knows. None of us. We are not close to this family and I do not trust our media one bit to give us any sort of true information. <br />I am also a whiner. And yes, so is Woody Allen. But he whines about some things that are very important that our society refuses to talk about in an open way such as death and the meaning of life and falling in love and deceit and now with Blue Jasmine, tragedy. Life imitating art perhaps?Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-73754745772202213192014-02-04T10:57:02.094-05:002014-02-04T10:57:02.094-05:00Amen~Amen~Amen!! I never liked his movies either, ...Amen~Amen~Amen!! I never liked his movies either, so not seeing them after molestation accusations came out made no impact on him or his earnings...but, I became vocal and hoped others heard and also boycotted his "art???". And then there's Roman Polanski...sheesh!!! creeps! Honestly I was shocked when he won the achievement award and even more shocked when Diane Keaton offered such a flowery acceptance. My opinion of her was greatly diminished. turquoisemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893008689507282266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-56572915634900344002014-02-04T10:56:26.236-05:002014-02-04T10:56:26.236-05:00Yes.
