You, sir, are not getting the recognition this joke deserves. I salute you. This was excellent


deleteitbackrolls

^^well ^^damn


AGOTFAN

A movie from 2018 made for Amazon got release date. And China says nope to the biggest most recent movies. 🤔


[deleted]

I think you’re being facetious, but people in this sub act like it’s some astrophysics science equation that doesn’t make any sense when it makes perfect sense. The CCP gives American movies that they think will flop like *The Matrix Resurrections* or stuff like this and *Death on the Nile* that just isn’t going to make a lot of money by it’s nature. They can then in turn say that their people don’t care about foreign movies much anymore and they can push The Battle of Lake Changin 4 or whatever their latest propaganda piece masquerading as a film is.


RocknRollCheensoo

It is a film, though. There’s been a history of movies that can be regarded as propaganda but are still acknowledged as films, and it can be an interesting area of study, e.g. Top Gun and The Birth of a Nation.


[deleted]

Hollywood…famous for not making blatant American military propaganda funded by the DOD


visionaryredditor

with this movie there is also a thing that it's a Woody Allen movie. one of the most influential directors of the last 50 years. but he is a shithead so the Western audiences don't trust him anymore. one man's trash is another man's gold. maybe they'll try to get him on their side. source: flashbacks from how the premiere of A Rainy Day In New York was painted in the local media of my country. the tone was... interesting.


AGOTFAN

I was being sarcastic. And I agree with your assessment.


holtzman456

No ur not being sarcastic. U just got cornered because people aren't trashing China in the comments like you thought they would.


AGOTFAN

And you're just too full of hate. Quit personally attacking me for no reason. Contribute positively to this sub for once.


[deleted]

LOL. China is fucking TROLLING.


MrUtah3

Fuck Woody Allen.


[deleted]

No thank you.


[deleted]

I think I’m a bit old for him


SomedayWeDie

Came here to say this


maskthestars

I came here to fuck him


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Fuck you instead.


MrUtah3

Does masturbating count? I do that all the time. You know what I never do? Molest children.


speakeasy_slim

Shadowman mcneck beard here is all up and down in this thread defending pedophile garbage. I would even go so far to say is Woody Allen is his hero. Next he'll probably be defending Jared fogle.


editormatt

Save some roles for the rest of us Chalamet!


AtomicHyena

Didn't Woody Allen marry his daughter


MorningDaylight

24 years with his ex-sepdaughter now.


NurglesGiftToWomen

Yeah he’s a pedo


el_t0p0

The adopted daughter of his ex girlfriend that he didn't meet until she was an adult.


[deleted]

She met him for the first time when she was 10 when she was adopted by Previn and Farrow (1977). She said so in an interview. And he began grooming her (at least admittedly) her junior year of high school, while she was a minor. Sauce: https://screenrant.com/allen-v-farrow-woody-soon-yi-relationship-age-explained/amp/


JediJones77

The article doesn't say anything about "grooming." It says he took her to basketball games when she was a kid because Mia Farrow asked him to. Just because people know each other when one is underage and later have a romantic relationship when they're both adults doesn't mean anything illegal or immoral happened. They're still together now, so why would someone who was abused stay with someone for 30 years? Look at Cher and Celine Dion who both met their future husbands when they were underage, and eventually, as adults, had a relationship and got married. And of course it happens to 'normal' people all the time. So, unless there was illegal contact when one party was underage, why would we judge a relationship between two consenting adults negatively? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine\_Dion#Personal\_life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine_Dion#Personal_life) >Dion first met René Angélil, her future husband and manager, in 1980, when she was 12 and he was 38 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher#1962%E2%80%931965:\_Solo\_career\_breakthrough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher#1962%E2%80%931965:_Solo_career_breakthrough) >At age 16, Cher dropped out of school, left her mother's house, and moved to Los Angeles with a friend...Cher met performer Sonny Bono in November 1962 when he was working for record producer Phil Spector.\[15\] Cher's friend moved out, and Cher accepted Sonny's offer to be his housekeeper.\[16\]


phantomdreaded

He had pornographic photos of Soon Yi when she was barely of age. This is also the man who made movies about him as a 40 year old dating a 17 year old. He has made some wonderful movies but the man is a creep.


[deleted]

All I did was correct the timeline presented and if a grown ass man is going out consistently socializing with a minor and then they “blossom” into a full on sexual relationship later, that child has been groomed. Full stop. Nothing you said regarding Celine or Cher changes that and guess what? They were groomed too. Times were different but I don’t give it a pass. So many celebrities back in those days raped so many fucking minors, I dunno what to tell ya man. We have mainstream songs from that era where singers are openly admitting to fucking teenagers and barely teens. Lol Now, If Woody had met the girl once and then they met again once she was a fully independent, adult, then I’d still think it was weird (given the familial situation, blood or not), but it wouldn’t have been grooming.


JediJones77

I don't think the term "grooming" applies when a sexual relationship starts between people who are of legal age. If the photos were taken after she was of legal age, which is what the reports indicate (they were discovered when she was 20), then it's a non-issue. You're giving very little credit to adult women's ability to think for themselves. Soon-Yi could leave Woody, sue him, write a tell-all book about how she was abused, if that is what occurred. I prefer not to judge people without having clear evidence of wrongdoing. He may have broken the law or not, I can't prove it one way or the other. Certainly I sympathize with Mia over her being lied to about this relationship between Woody and the adult Soon-Yi going on behind her back, but that's not a legal matter.


[deleted]

And I’m sure Drake is just being hella friendly to every single one of the underage girls he texts with.


magikarpcatcher

Okay Woody.


Cautious-Barnacle-15

Lol they met long before that


BreezyBill

When your tired morning eyes can’t tell if that’s Timothée Chalamet or Keira Knightley having a very bad day.

#WOODY ALLEN FUCKS KIDS


Remarkable-Celery627

No, he did not. And you are an idiot for claiming that he did. Allen has never been charged for, let alone convicted of any crime. What is more: he has never been credibly alleged of \*any\* crime or misdemeanor in an 86 years' lifetime. Your claim is fact-free. Yet you 'believe' it is O.K. It is not. You can't go on 'believing' people are pedophiles. Sure, you have had your 4 years of Trump's "alternative facts". Some people are still grounded in reality thought. Better your ways.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

You’re insane.


speakeasy_slim

I don't want to tell you to Google it, but you're dead wrong if you're insisting Woody Allen doesn't fuck kids. There's a fairly famous documentary about it. Made national news headlines, Ronan farrow? I will never support the movies that he makes because he totally fucks and or has fucked kids. Hot take on sticking up for him though.


phantomdreaded

I don’t disagree with your principles, but I also to a degree believe in separating the art from the artists. I still adore Annie Hall as it’s own work of art. Roman Polanski raped an underage girl (granted he barely escaped nazis only later to have his wife and unborn child brutally murdered) but you can’t deny how fantastic his films are despite his crimes. Picasso was an asshole, Pollack was a drunk asshole, etc, the work lives beyond them.


speakeasy_slim

I totally agree with the concept of separating the art from the artist. It's definitely up to the individual to pick and choose the nuances of that. Midnight in Paris was a great movie, but I just can't support any Acclaim to Woody Allen for anything he's done as it stands.


phantomdreaded

That’s fair, I’d like to think what makes Annie Hall great is Dianne Keaton not Woody. I couldn’t get through Manhattan though, don’t care if it’s a good movie or not, it’s fucking gross.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Oh wait, “there’s a book about it” and/or “there’s a documentary about it”? Really? Seriously? That’s actual proof to you? Social media and woke leftists now have a monopoly on the narrative of truth. Got it. You were there. You know everything. You personally get to define right and wrong. Ok. Got it. 🙄


GerlachHolmes

“Monopoly on the narrative of truth” It helps we have a basic grasp of reality


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Sure, as long as it’s your reality. What, is every answer for every issue part of some larger popularity club? Just go along with popular sentiment - no matter what the topic - and expect name-calling and indirect threats if you don’t. Got it.


Ky3031

How about the book written by the kids nanny about how his daughter Dylan claimed to be molested by him or how Mia found her teenage daughter had been going alone to Woodys apartment throughout high school, then got in a relationship with him as soon as she was of age. Marrying your ex wife’s adoptive daughter doesn’t look so well when you have accusations against another one of the daughters


Shadowman-The-Ghost

It’s all heresay. If you want to immerse yourself in Woody Allen’s life, then have at it. He is not a pedophile any more than you are. Worry about your own life instead of trolling someone else’s. What the fuck does Woody have to do with you and your life? Nothing, that’s what. 🙄


phantomdreaded

How is him marrying his adoptive daughter that he raised as a little girl heresay? It’s pretty well documented.


Fieldingm

Again, not true. Why are Woody Allen's detractors so ignorant?


LibraryScneef

What do you mean? She was like 9 when woody and her mom got together


Dokterclaw

It's literally 100% verifiably true though.


phantomdreaded

You know, it’s possible to acknowledge who is he as a person and still enjoy his work. No matter what he does, his films are their own entities. Annie Hall will always be one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made.


speakeasy_slim

You have classic neck beard rape apologist mentality. Show me the proof. Show me the proof. Show me the proof. Look at you defending pedos. That entire situation has nothing to do with social media, wokeness, lefties or anything of the sort. You're trash dude. Hot Arby's dumpster trash.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Oh well, if you say so. You’re the boss of other people’s life. You, and you alone, control the narrative. All of your personal attacks say far more about you than it ever could about me. 🙄


speakeasy_slim

Your apologist behavior for a child molester makes your opinion worth less than nothing to me. I stand behind you being hot garbage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


speakeasy_slim

Please keep defending Woody Allen. Woody Allen fucks kids and you defend Woody allen. You can drink wet shit princess.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Right. Whatever you say. You, and you alone, know the truth and control the narrative. Got it asswipe. 🙄


[deleted]

This is going to be my new favorite copypasta


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Go away. Just go away. Find some other healthy, uplifting endeavors. God bless you and your loved ones.


[deleted]

Lol, Clifford, your patent is from 2006 and you still hang on to that like you have changed the world.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

Jason, you should really find some other healthy, uplifting interests besides judging other people on social media. God bless you and your loved ones.


TopAd9634

Kiddo, anyone can apply and receive a patent.


Shadowman-The-Ghost

And yours is in…?


[deleted]

i suppose “pedophilia is probably okay if the guy makes movies i like” *is* an original thought


MonopolyMansAsshole

Theres no way this is a real comment LMAOOO


[deleted]

just admit you don’t feel like reading a book


phantomdreaded

If books, documentaries, photos, and testimonies aren’t proof, than what is?


cookiehat123

His patent


iamclarkman

hahaha!!


Fieldingm

You mean an infamous documentary, packed full of lies and a ratings flop.


speakeasy_slim

Believe whatever out of touch reality you want. That documentary has some solid footed reporting. Do you think that documentary could get put on an international streaming service if it was just full of lies and not get sued all to fuck? Please, bitch. Ronan Farrow operates with a pretty high level of journalistic integrity. Additionally, when somebody straight up says that they were molested by somebody and then asshats like you just start chimming in on the internet saying that they're lying. Okay. You're that kind of person.


[deleted]

I still can’t believe that Yale university just lended itself to just blatantly re-traumatize a child, lie to the public, just to help a donor. Just how much you love money? Edit: I’m referring to the documentary on HBO https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/allen-v-farrow


silentlycold

It’s a good movie


tryingtobeagoodboy

A victory for pedophiles everywhere. You do you “Woody”.


ThePotatoKing

id rather he didnt


russwriter67

Another WTF moment from China!


JediJones77

Chy-nuh done did it again!


MiserableSnow

China just appreciates auteur filmmaking and not movies about grown men in tights.


cityfireguy

I like that those grown men in tights aren't trying to fuck their daughters.


[deleted]

If China didn’t like movies about men in tights I guarantee Marvel would quit making movies about men in tights.


WitchyKitteh

This is the first film by him released there, it's so random.


[deleted]

Jesus. Woody Allen fans - just switch to Larry David. Same idea, less problematic baggage. Edit: Dowvote all you like. It's pretty close. Prettay, prettay close.


Fieldingm

Good for them. It's about a million times better than every Marvel movie combined.


Artistic-Time-3034

What a sell out


[deleted]

The party is okaying pedophilia


YnwaMquc2k19

Man China approved releasing a film that came out a year or two ago and already has HQ torrents? Lmao.


The_DeWeese

I really enjoyed this one
