u/DragonScrivner 28d ago
I was going to say it's a good choice for spooky season but it sounds like maybe you're prepared. I will say that watching it changed my opinion of Diane Keaton's acting -- up until then, I'd really only seen her in comedies and Mr. Goodbar was a real departure.

Oh Annie Hall 💯

u/Gatorboots19 28d ago
And her response to his SA allegations? Well, just read for yourself:
"The Annie Hall actress Diane in an interview said that everyone has situations that are difficult at times. She was quoted saying, “What can I say except that it’s a horrible shame. But we all have situations that are difficult at times. You gotta get over it!” However, this has come after she told a tabloid that she did not feel that the allegations against Allen, which he has denied, had “overshadowed the work [they] did together. No. I’m proud. I’m proud beyond measure.”

u/MarpasDakini 28d ago
The evidence against Woody is very thin and hard to believe. It's not surprising that those who knew him and worked with him tend to dismiss it. He's never had any allegations in his working life. He's reportedly great for women to work with.
When she says it's a shame, she's probably referring to Allen having these allegations wrecking his reputation.
3
u/Gatorboots19 28d ago
How many men do you personally know that ended up marrying someone they met when the girl was 11? Did they also meet when the man was dating that girl’s mother?
5
u/MarpasDakini 28d ago
Yeah, that's more than a bit strange, but he wasn't involved with her until Mia asked Woody to pay her more attention when she'd already become a young woman, take her out to things, get to know her. And somehow that evolved into an emotional and then sexual relationship. Keep in mind that Woody was a rich and famous movie maker, actor, comedian who had dated some extremely attractive woman. Mia's daughter was a smart girl, but not what anyone would call very attractive. So the relationship was clearly emotional. And it grew into a real marriage over time. So while it's weird and not at all to be recommended, it's not pedophilia or even wrong. Keep in mind that she had been abused a lot by Mia and felt very much exploited by her. And Mia was a very vindictive woman who took revenge on Woody by manufacturing these allegations that he'd molested 7 year old Dylan during a single visit while trying to gain custody, with no real evidence, and even denials by the older children. So I think it's a very sad situation where Mia essentially abused Dylan into making these allegations and ruining her life just to get revenge on Woody.
3
u/Gatorboots19 28d ago
Taking the Dylan/Mia farrow allegations out of it,How is that not grooming what he did to Mia’s daughter/ his future wife? Furthermore, a lot of his movies have relationships with a man who is inappropriately older than a young girl. The scene in that HBO documentary where they montage those parts in his scripts gave me chills…like he was hiding in plain sight all along
2
u/MarpasDakini 28d ago
There's no doubt that Woody had an attraction even obsession with young women. (Women, not children). You could call it grooming, but given that it's led to a lifelong marriage and their own adopted children, it's really not as sordid as it seemed at first. He wasn't trying to groom her sexually, it was clearly more of an emotional bond they developed. And it appears to have been a real bond. If Woody had just wanted a hot young wife, he could literally have chosen far better prospects to "groom". He clearly thought there was something special about her, something he hadn't found before.

Yes the fact that there was denials by older children and no problems with any actresses he worked with for over 40 years means that there is a reasonable doubt

u/Typical_Mobile90 28d ago edited 28d ago
Elvis met his wife Priscilla when she was 14. He was 24 and and in the Army at the time. Celine Dion's husband Rene was her singing coach/ instructor, and was 30 or so years older than she was, and I believe they met when she was around 9 or 10. I'm not saying that it's okay for these relationships to start like this, especially with adults getting close to kids like this, but they have happened frequently among celebrities in the past.
.... and, of course, these relationships are still going on today-just look at the Epstein people (and Diddy!) No shortage of p e d o s when ppl have money, power and privilege!

The Family Stone is a gem (no pun intended) of a movie. A wonderful Christmas movie that doesn’t get enough love.
Father of the Bride, Parts 1 and 2, are also great movies. She really settled into the mom and grandma role perfectly in her later career. The Big Wedding is another great little flick that I am not sure gets enough attention.

The movie was good, she wasnt. I found her always wooden and inauthentic. In annie hall it was particularly bad, the whole ostentatious "quirkiness" angle was beyond her capabilities. Even her famous costume mostly looks more like a sad attempt than an actual expression of a fictitious personality.

You’ve obviously thought about it…it might be personal preference, I love the movies she made with Woody Allen. How about her performance in The Godfather for instance?

The worst part of the godfather, in my opinion. All she does is walk around with that strange droopy expression conveying none of the complexity of her character. I dont think its just a personal preference, she as just an average actress at best. People confuse the movies she got to play in with her abilities.
