What do you think of Woody Allen? I think he's one of the funniest and coolest artists I know. I don't normally laugh at slapstick but when he does it I laugh. I choose to ignore the shit idiots say about him.
I like Woody Allen's early films. They are funny in an innovative way. 'What's up, tiger lily' is a film I own and revisit every few years.
I read his books in high school and remember them being funny/good. Nobody writes humor/joke books anymore, which sucks.
Allen's later films I haven't watched too much of. The few i've seen I really enjoyed.
Don't know if there's new controversy about him. I try to stay segregated from all forms of media and ignorant to the nonsense most of the mouth breathers of america are flip-flapping over.
Think, in regards to soon yi, that it's very easy to demonize an older man's relationship with a younger woman without taking into consideration any contributing factors. The crazed moral majority set a precedence, and, even though most of that mindset isn't as prevalent any more, there's still remnants of its judgmental insanity in our culture.
Most people don't think, they react using a foundation of learned experience, except tv/film/news compromises most people's learned experiences, so, they immediately think of a relationship like woody allen and soon yi's as 'evil.'
Which annoys me greatly because obviously Woody wasn't simply hunting for young poon. The two have been together a long time.
Other cultures wouldn't view a relationship like that as 'bad'. Fuck, I think the consenting age in france is 12..
I think a lot of people are going to read the above statement about consenting age and react with an intense negative disgust, instead of objectively realizing, 'wow, young adults are treated like actual human beings in other countries!'
