      I try to avoid lumping criticism of art with artists' actions - his crimes should speak for himself But I think Orson Welles nailed it when he said Woody Allen's movies have this paper-thin performative veneer of bashful humility but actually reveal a monstrous arrogancehttps://twitter.com/susie_parker/status/1366602221752881153 …

      As Welles put it, his self-insert characters always act scared of other people, intimidated by them, overwhelmed by their oppressive intrusive demands And if you readjust your frame a bit this fear is actually resentment and contempt

      Like he really wants you to know he just does not give a fuck what people think of him if he thinks they're beneath him, and he thinks this of vast swathes of society He just tries to set it up so they're the bullies

      The last movie I saw of his was... ten years ago now? Midnight in Paris And ha ha oh WOW does this movie shove it in your face that the reason he wanted to move to Paris is he thinks everyone who lives in LA is shallow materialistic tasteless middlebrow scum

      That movie in particular just has a ton of dunking on a specific "type" of person Allen can't stand but none of his movies are dunk-free I was only starting to get convinced I should take the allegations seriously back then but my attitude toward him was already curdling

      Like "God this guy really is an asshole isn't he He's always had this undertone of I'M SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE I CAN'T STAND He's been having this fantasy of publicly owning someone else for having wrong opinions about art since Annie Hall"

      Like I dunno I'm not saying misanthrope = predator or that the movies you make are a "smoking gun" about your rl behavior (although making a goddamn movie about dating a teenager is kind of a red flag)

      But I'm just saying if you're gonna bring his movies into it at all the whole question of "Would someone that famous under that much scrutiny commit such a blatant crime and then lie to everyone's faces about it?" seems easy to answer if you've seen his movies Yeah, totally

          That movie about dating a teenager, Manhattan? The attitude that animates it, buried under all this sentimentality and Gershwin and shit, is that the world is a bunch of fucking HYPOCRITES who have NO RIGHT to HUMILIATE him constantly for JUST WANTING TO BE HAPPY AND GET OFF

          WHAT'S WRONG WITH HAVING A SEX DRIVE? WHAT'S WRONG WITH CATERING TO HIS OWN NEEDS FOR ONCE? YOU ALL HAVE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSETS TOO, NONE OF YOU HAS A LEG TO STAND ON It's all... extremely familiar stuff from a self-justifying wrongdoer

          I'm not saying this attitude - "trying to hold onto the capacity for self-love in a world of judgmental hypocrites" - makes you a predator, whatever you think of it But the character in the movie objectively IS a predator - she's fucking 17 - and uses this attitude as armor

          To add another layer to this shit cake, Louis CK's infamously buried movie I Love You Daddy was a very explicit deconstruction/homage to Manhattan - intentionally pretentious black-and-white and all

          And it's the same self-justifying garbage The self-deprecation from CK is sharper and more vulgar and has more swear words but it's ultimately the same attitude "You know what? I know I suck, I know you have contempt for me, but fuck you I can do what I want, step off"
