We are watching a pedophile kiss a 16yo girl


Disgusting. This creep should have been cancelled a long time ago but I guess being jewish gives him immunity in hollywood.

Kissing a 16 year old doesn't make someone a pedophile. There is no evidence that Woody Allen is a pedophile.

This. I have no issue with that. My issue is that the film, and Allen in general, makes self absorbed crap. The film is pretentious and out of touch with 99% of people. The age of the girl is the last thing wrong with it.

Oh shut up already, you antisemitic piece of filth

i thought we were friends

Ah whatever, carry on

May December relationships weren't as big a deal in the 1970's as they are today.

And technically a pedophile means the girl (or boy)has not reached puberty yet.

It's easy to get confused by this as media reports all under 18 year olds as girls, not teens.

Newsflash: Hollywood stars are all disgusting people. Half of Hollywood has worked with Woody Allen, and most of them did so after Manhattan came out.

reply

Pedophile means to have sex with prepubescent children, not pubescent teenagers. Also, she was seventeen in this movie.

reply

Pedophile - A person who is sexually attracted to children.
A 16 year old is hardly a child, but anti-semites gotta hate.

What is sad is to go back to some of the real old conversations on IMDB and see how good there were compared to this trolling BS that fills up MoveChat. What a waste.

👏🏻 Bravo, and thank you. In its 5 years of history, MovieChat has devolved from “okay” to “cesspool.” The site owner, Jimbo, has “disengaged himself” (quoting a site moderator), meaning we are riding a rudderless ship. The ignorance (lack of knowledge), stupidity (lack of intelligence), hostility, Narcissism and Sadism levels here are through the roof. To quote Willy Yeats, “The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity . . .” From his poem, The Second Coming. For my money, WB Yeats is the greatest poet in English of the 20th century.

It sounds to me like the owner might be being paid off to let manipulators and propagandists run the site ... and they are paying him more than the site would earn on its own, but that's just a cynical speculation. I wonder who benefits from having social discussion networks turn to garbage? I still think there is a cabal that runs America, one of whose goals is to interfere will all manners of social association ... to throw a spanner into the works of all civic engagement, so to speak.

Immunity like Harvey Weinstein?
