. . .Mia and Woody were never married. It was her adopted daughter; and while I do not think much of his actions; do not think they fell into the 'sick' classification.
Rather, Mia and Woody suffered the consequences of their own very liberal, Liberalism.
His being a spokesperson for France, OTOH, does make me sick. . .and his whiny Liberalism as well.
Let me tell you why I disagree with you. First, he employed a transparently false justification for seducing the teenager (at most, according to Allen himself, 19 when they started the affair, but quite possibly as young 14, 15 or 16 when it started) by saying, "The heart wants what it wants," implying that one should always follow one's "heart" where sexual desire is concerned. He wanted his listeners to believe that he fell in love with a child, and that lust had nothing to do with it. He is a liar.
But something else has to be taken into account too, something even more damning, in my opinion. Soon-Yi had been in Mia Farrow's home for well over 10 years at the time the scandal erupted. She was closely bonded to the other children in the home and was considered by them as a sibling. In particular, a boy a few years younger than Soon-Yi named Moses looked up her, and thought of her as his sister. Woody Allen was in the process of adopting Moses at the same time he was banging the 14 year old boy's sister.
When Moses found out what his "Dad" had done he was devastated and enraged. I remember reading the NY Post story in which he expressed his anguish, saying "He knew she was my sister!"
That's why Allen is a creep and a slug, and, yes, a man with a "sick" mind. He dropped a nuclear bomb in the middle of that family, and hurt a lot of kids, just to satisfy his own lust for tender flesh.
There has been some payback though. His career never recovered, because even large numbers of people like me, who always liked his movies, have stopped going to them out of deep feelings of ambivalence about his artistic integrity. And he is stuck for the rest of his life with a plain looking woman who many say is something of a dullard, and whom I'm sure he doesn't really love, because to leave her would expose the craveness of his character to a degree that even he is unwilling to tolerate.
what was Woody thinking as he bathed her or wiped her butt when she was little?...did the fascination start then?
it doesn't matter if they were married or not.....the baby that he was a father to, he married.....
That's even better - not married. I had assumed they were. What fine examples of parents they must have been. I still believe marrying an adopted daughted whose about half his age is SICK.
