![]() ![]() In a flashback, we see him divorcing his wife ( Judy Davis) for reasons that he tries to explain in sentences that never quite arrive at a subject or an object.Īs the movie opens, he's doing a profile of a movie star played by Melanie Griffith, who takes him on a visit to her childhood home and in her old bedroom performs an act we suspect she rehearsed there many times in her imagination, in the years before stardom. The chicks he wants to pick up, he would have to give them the car, and that would only get his foot in the door. Simon is a 35-ish man on the make with a precious antique Aston-Martin and the touching belief that his car can help him pick up chicks. Lee Simon is supposed to be a celebrity journalist, and Branagh might have been more useful and amusing if he'd used another real-life legend as his model: Perhaps the indestructible Anthony Haden-Guest, who has been playing a Lee Simon-like role so long, he even inspired a character in The Bonfire of the Vanities. He does Allen so carefully, indeed, that you wonder why Allen didn't just play the character himself. ![]() The character is named Lee Simon, but Branagh has all the Allen vocal mannerisms and the body language of comic uncertainty. Any time a woman decides to leave with her own child it should never be labeled “abduction” - it is HER CHILD.The film stars Kenneth Branagh as-there is only one way to put this-Woody Allen. That woman is in EVERY WAY that girl’s mother - the father was merely a sperm donor. A girl that age can effectively run away if life is so hard to cope with. I’m very sure this 15 yr old girl doesn’t have horror stories about what living with mother was like. SHE is the one who nurtures the child and SHE is the reason that child goes to school every day in clean clothes, has dinner to eat three times a day and SHE is the reason that child has a clean bed to sleep in. SHE is the one who gets up with it in the night every time it cries. SHE is the one who goes thru grueling agony delivering the child into the world and SHE is the one who nurses it when it arrives. SHE is the one who has to go without certain foods & alcohol and has to watch her every step so she doesn’t fall & injure the child. She is the one who carries that child within her body for the full 9 month term of pregnancy. The woman gets to choose if he can have any part in hers or the child’s life at all. THAT is the only part he took in bringing about a pregnancy event and in these days that can happen without any of his help at all - the father is just as useful as a petrie dish. It’s the same night of a role in the hay as any other night and he has no clue the woman is pregnant unless she chooses to tell him. Men have nothing to do with bringing a child into the world. The child is a tool to get back at her for whatever reason. Men - do not have children….WOMEN DO!! Most men want to take a child from their mothers because they are the control freak kind - period. No such thing as a mother “kidnapping” her own flesh ‘n blood child!!! I’ve got news. ![]() We ask for privacy as we get to know each other again and navigate this new beginning.” ~Alexandra Heilbron I want to thank the South Elgin Police Department, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and all of the law enforcement agencies who assisted with her case.
