the actors who continue to work with woody allen despite what he’s done are the very reason he is still successful in hollywood. the ‘separating the art from the artist’ is bullshit, and all of them know it. nobody actually believes ‘its a personal family matter’ or ‘it’s only alleged, it hasn’t been proven.’ everyone knows what he is. they deny it for the sake of personal and career-oriented ambitions. they deny it for the sake of getting to say “i was in a woody allen movie.”
“why hasn’t woody allen died yet” he could very easily die if everyone can get over themselves and stop working with him. im looking at kristen stewart, jesse eisenberg, alec baldwin, blake lively, cate blanchett, steve carrell, owen wilson, rachel mcadams, marion cotillard… the list goes on.
the reason he is still getting attention is because he is still getting A list celebrities to be in his movies. and some of them are really fantastic, well known actors, like blanchett and cotillard…. don’t think for a second people are going to hesitate overlooking his “alleged” crimes to see their performances. and so it goes on- actors overlook and viewers overlook and here we are, years later, still debating whether or not a literal child sex offender’s movies are problematic.
he is a child sex offender. stop making excuses for yourselves. if well known actors stop working with him, he will die. his movies might still get made, because he has the money, but they wont nearly be talked about as much if he doesnt have the people. and i doubt he would continue his work if he wasn’t getting any recognition for it. these people are hiding behind the idea that “nothing could possibly bring him down because of his legacy and talent, so me working/not working with him won’t change that.” This selfishness & convenient ignorance is why he is still around. he is still alive because you’re still making movies with him. he needs you. you have the power to kill his career, and you wont. it’s disgusting and i wont turn a blind eye to it or pretend that his ‘talent’ is the only reason he is still in the business. i hold all of these people plus plenty others accountable as to why he hasn’t suffered any consequences career wise for what he is and has done.
