So, Mr. Woody Allen is in labor. It seems that he really got caught up with his acting. Right now he's playing the part, the living hell of a movie. Imagine the plot, a father sleeping with his daughter, taking provocative photos and then claiming objectivity and innocence. "Insane," you say. Only a plot for a movie or something that would make a excellent study in human nature. Well, Woody's at it again! Here he has it all: a father but really not the natural father; a daughter but not really the natural daughter; a husband but not really the natural husband.
How did Woody's brain ever figure out the difference between real daughters and adopted daughters, real husbands and adopted husbands? For that matter, the legal difference among a biological father and or an adopted father? From what I know of Woody Allen he sure is no Talmudic scholar. He would never be, "splitting the hairs of legal reasoning." It's just not his forte. How in the world does he ever justify this new life style!
Now, does anyone know the true natural meaning of incest? Just look in the Bible.
Not feeling good,being guilty,and fake are ideas for movies with a touch of Woody. For him to think, that per chance the Ten Commandments are the ten suggestions from which you can pick and choose what you like, that's the Woody I have come to expect. But this latest venture is outragous and down right sinful. Taking a daughter to bed and claiming innocence. Nothing can be more bluntly sick or pervert. The cooperation by a naive girl doesn't make things right.
They say Woody's in love. Woody is known to love his dog. He loves his movies. He loves his friends, and his sleep-in companion. For the past couple of years he's been known to love his family very much and now he loves his daughter. Just the way Woody thinks of loving his daughter cames out a little bit bizarre, different than the mainstream love that we know of. A touch of incest you may think.
Woody feels so sure of himself that he is willing to combat the Goliath, Dershowitz, in proving that the whole thing is a sinister plot by Mia Farrow. And soon he will be vindicated and given, not only control of his step-daughter, but he'll also have control of Mia's children.
How monstrous this is. Even the most liberal parent in the United States knows that there are boundaries which are non negotiable. There are laws and family values honored by all and if trespassed one is guilty to the highest degree.
This week my little boy said he doesn't understand why Woody Allen isn't in jail. Sadly, neither do I.
