Soon Yi in the movie?


Didn't notice her in the credits, but swear I caught a glimpse of her in one of the scenes with a bunch of children sitting around.

hannah's family apparently has 4 kids, and i saw two asian kids in a few scenes, maybe they are adopted.

Soon Ti is not in it but her sister Daisy and brother Moses are.

Yi not ti, stupid auto correct lol

She and Farrow's son Fletcher were kids there for Thanksgiving. They did not play her kids in the movie.

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.

According to the IMDB Trivia, Soon Yi is in the film

reply

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. Weird and rather creepy.

You can spot her in one of the Thanksgiving scenes. Not sure which one, as it's never been that important to me. Her face stands out, because she looks almost exactly the same as she does as an adult.

Soon Yi, who was 13 at the time, appears at 1:27. It is the 2nd Thanksgiving scene and they are in the living room with the children gathered around a coffee table. She is on the right hand side and looks, facially, pretty much the same way she does now.

And to think, just four years later, she was sleeping with Woody and Mia found the nude photos of Soon Yi on the Living Room fireplace mantle. Soon Yi definitely wanted Mia to find those photos and, in essence, says "Hey mom, I have your man now - he loves me! Look at me, I'm all grown up and look way better than you ever could". Soon Yi had some REAL anger/resentment issues, I think.

Needless to say Woody was simply a pig, the way he treated Mia but even worse he was a creepy pervert. Even if you don't believe he molested Dylan Farrow when she was seven, he WAS for sure molesting the under aged 17 year old daughter of his partner, Mia, whom he had known since she was 7 years old.

Just for accuracy's sake, it was 1992 that Allen and Previn begun their affair, six years after this movie was released, and Previn was either 19 or 21 (there seems to be some confusion over whether she was born in 1970 or 1972).

1992 was the year that Mia found out, buddy. Read celebrity gossip Bible below and do your math.

Allen's affair with Soon-Yi, says Woody's close friend, producer Jean Doumanian, began soon after Allen and Farrow's biological son, Satchel, was born—and Mia was preoccupied with childrearing. "He was lonely. He had never even noticed Soon-Yi, and all of a sudden a basketball game comes up and they go, and she's charming and intelligent."

Satchel (now Ronan) was born in 1987. I don't know where that site claims to get its info from, but I have never seen it suggested by anyone (even Mia Farrow) that Allen started seeing Previn prior to 1992, or perhaps late 1991, certainly not 1987 or 88.

I think the debate here, is based on the confusion of when the role of stepfather morphed into the role of romantic interest. I think we can agree there's an undefined area between both roles, where actions can be construed either way.

reply

Also for accuracy's sake, the mantel was Woody's, not Mia's, and New York law states that a person younger than 17 years of age is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse or other sexual contact. So nothing illegal there. I'm not saying I support Allen or Soon-Yi's actions, by the way.

reply

I was going off memory and yes, you are right, it was Woody's mantel. Even if Soon-Yi was 18+, that is very young, IMO.
Well, Woody is totally Teflon because despite, IMO, the sleaziness of hooking up with your partner's very young daughter, Soon-Yi, and possibly sexually abusing a very young child he walked away unharmed. Most, probably every, actor out there still wants to work on one of his films.
So he has not been harmed by any issues in his personal life.

reply

Another thing I found creepy about this movie was that Woody Allen's character was a producer on a comedy sketch show and they were talking about the appropriateness of including a sketch about child molestation.

Seriously??

Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.

reply

Many people hold him up as an icon and actors fall all over the place to be in his movies but the man is a creep. In his film Manhattan he is sleeping with a 17 year old played by Mariel Hemingway.

reply

Woody was a pig and his behaviour makes his line about Socrates having sex with Greek boys seem to be more than a bit hypocritical.
