Dylan Farrow: Why does Woody Allen get a pass?
cnn.com ^ | 12/8/17 | Lisa Respers France

Posted on 12/08/2017 1:32:54 PM PST by ColdOne

(CNN)Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, is asking why the director has not suffered the same fate as other powerful men in Hollywood accused of sexual misconduct. In an opinion piece published by the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, Farrow describes her anger over Allen maintaining his career, despite her allegation that he sexually assaulted her in their home when she was seven years old. Farrow first shared her account with Vanity Fair in 2013.

Allen has consistently denied the allegation and was not criminally charged.

Yes, in divorce cases and not just “famous” ones.

No, actually Previn was Soon-Yi's adoptive father.

Yes, It is, with a bit of Bergman’s WILD STRAWBERRIES ( IIRC...haven’t seen that movie since I was in college )thrown in.

You are correct. I was just trying to point out that Allen was not any relation to Soon Yiu until he married her.

Thanks...I've done that too, but some posters apparently don't like FACTS and still say that Woody was "the father" ( of some kind, I guess they mean )of ALL of Mia's kids.

Mia and the kids lived on the Upper West Side, Woody lived ( still does ) on the Upper EAST Side, Mia had ( don't know if she still does )a summer house in Ct., which is where the abuse story is set.

I don't even know if Soon-Yi was living full time with Mia, in 1992/at this time and she would have been 22. I think she went to college and also got a Master's degree, so how much time she was ever at home, couldn't have been much.

And yes, Woody has NO biological nor adoptive relationship to his current wife, Soon-Yi.

You claimed that a character in some movie, that you have no idea what it was titled, some how “proved” that Woody did something to Dylan.


Show me where I said that. Now you are straight up lying.

I have repeated until I am sick of it: I believe Dylan’s story. Ronan’s brave actions solidified MY BELIEF.

What is wrong with you? If you are so connected to FACTS, why would you lie about what I wrote, when it’s clearly still available on the internet here?

So I used Orson Welles ( someone else who is famous for writing, directing, and acting in his movies ) and specifically, “CITIZEN KANE”, disproving that just because an autuer does all of the previous stated things, does NOT translate into it being, in some way, auto-biographical.

I truly hope that the above explanation helps you to now understand it all. As I stated, it is the Aristotelian logic/debate method.


You almost have to be pranking me at this point.

Someone can make a movie and insert a hint into something he likes, or not. The movie can be based on or homage to other movies. The movie can have cameos, clowns, or cowboys. AND STILL IT IS POSSIBLE TO INSERT A LITTLE MOMENT with some little nod to the audience, ABOUT ANYTHING. What is it that you don’t understand? If Allen did such a thing, it is still not proof of anything and I’d be a fool to call it so. You’d be a fool to say it would not be possible for Woody Allen to put in a scene where he winks about his passion for younger women.

You are far from using Aristotle’s debating method. I believe your argument is If A, and B, then C doesn’t exist. Which makes no sense.

So now you say no one who was there (when, when she was being groomed and molested?) says it was true. Ohhhhhkayyyyy, then clearly that is proof she wasn’t abused, right? Geez. Bill Cosby and Harvey did nothing wrong either.

Whoa, are you hitting me below the belt here, saying that I dared to not remember the name of a movie? Oh no, I should be shot at dawn.

I did say I loved the movie. I’ve never said I hate the movie. You are sincerely flawed with the putting words in others’ mouths.

I was making a joke re woody and me as a young girl. But I am assured by you that I was not his type. My loss.

What is wrong with YOU?

You didn't remember the name of the movie you saw on T.V. ( which I supplied !)nor the name of the movie you talked about "proving" that he liked young girls, whose title you also do not know, which I guessed at and again, supplied the title of.

There is absolutely NO proof, nor corroborating evidence, by any other children, in a household of 11 kids, nor and adults, re what you have chosen to believe.

You absolutely can hate Woody, believe whatever you care to, even though you are basing it on hearsay; hearsay that was TAUGHT to the only two kids who claim it's true. You may also believe that the moon is made of green cheese, that the moon landing was a hoax, or whatever other thing you care to; though it may be untrue.

And now, I shall go look for your posts, which shall prove that what I post is true and that you have no idea what you have posted.

I haven't "lied", not once"!

Here's another post of yours, to someone else, where you have less than NO idea what the name of the movie is, that you're talking about. Hold on and I'll find the one posted to me.

But this one DOSE put the "LIAR" name on you and not on me!

Did you ever study the Aristotelian theory in college? I did and it is exactly what I said it was. You can use it to prove and yes, disprove just about anything at all. I suggest that you look it up and probably not on line, since so much of what's on line winds up being wrong. But give it a shot...either way.

The point is that you don't remember the titles of movies you like, nor the ones you chose to talk about. Heck,it sounds like you don't even remember much of the movie that you are using to claim that Woody has always had a thing for very young girls.

He's been a very public figure for a very long time and doesn't have a history of the things you are claiming he has a penchant for.

And you are the one who is attempting to put words into my mouth, along with your imagining re what these words mean. You really shouldn't try that on me.

Back to doing the scut work, for you, re the first movie, that was posted to me.

After I find and post it to you, you will owe me an apology.

Okay, here is my post to you, re the post you made to miss marmelstein. So there you have it!

Proved you wrong thrice over, so now you owe me an apology!

I am not a "liar", have told no "lies", and it's all here, in black & white for everyone to see/read.

You’ve lied a few times. Saying I said things I didn’t say. Here is the one I ended up calling a lie.

You claimed that a character in some movie, that you have no idea what it was titled, some how "proved" that Woody did something to Dylan.

Hold on, you are proving that I lied that I knew the name of a movie? You’re ridiculous. I didn’t know the name of the movie. I said so. I didn’t claim to know the name of the movie and I don’t care about the name of the movie. Or the other movie. I don’t lie, so you can’t find a lie. It simplifies life greatly for me.

My entire argument was about my opinion. It hasn’t changed. Maybe you were there and close to the family and you have facts I don’t. My opinion remains my opinion.

HORSEFEATHERS!

That's not a "lie"; only part of that sentence got posted ( I don't know how that came to be, but it did ) and yet it is still true, in its essence.

Nice try, but no cigar!

Oh good grief!

I repeatedly said that YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF TWO OF THE MOVIES YOU USED AS SOME KIND OF "PROOF" THAT YOUR CLAIM THAT WOODY LIKES "YOUNG GIRLS" FOR ONE AND THAT YOU LIKED HIS MOVIES, FOR THE SECOND ONE.

You are now lying about the supposed "lies" that you claim I've posted. LOL

Of course you don't care about the titles of these movies, as long as you can use them to, in one way or another, to "prove" your positions. And THAT is the problem! You posted the first one and who knows if the scene you claim to remember is even in the movie...whatever the movie was, wherein he "winks" at the audience.

You could ( an d you did ) post anything at all, to promote your position/s and who could then call you on it, without knowing which movie you are referring ? It's a neat trick, but it doesn't really work!

I wasn't there, you weren't there, and no, I don't personally know anyone who was there. OTOH, I was thankfully never molested as a child, which you were and which most probably colors your opinion.

What I DO know, is that Woody was never put on trial for the "abuse", that he didn't have a history of such things, and that the ONLY ones who claim that it DID happen, have been schooled/coached/brainwashed about it, by Mia.

I also know that Ronan is not talented, couldn't possibly done the scut work on his outing of Weinstein ( which I do agree was a good thing )all on his ownsome, and is only where he is, because of WHO he is and WHO is family is. That last bit isn't a "secret".

Somewhat OT...do you remember the titles and authors of books that you've read, do you remember any movie's titles of other movies you've seen, and do you believe that all of the films, especially the ones Woody has been in, are, in some way auto-biographical?

Yes that was your lie. I never claimed any movie proved anything. You said i claimed it, and I never did. Own it.

Not a "LIE" at all and YOU own everything you've posted, which is your just due.

Go read all of your posts and do make a stab at seeing what's there, instead of what you wish was.
