How is the world wrong about Deconstructing Harry?

From Andras: Woody Allen’s films are often used, misleadingly, as evidence to justify the accusations against him. A film like “Deconstructing Harry” does the opposite. In Allen’s most direct cinematic response to the end of his relationship with Mia Farrow he portrays himself as a pill popping, booze swilling, womanizer who brings misery upon those around him by using their lives for his art. A guilty man might be expected to portray himself as innocent but Allen seems to be saying, “It’s true. I am horrible. Just not the way you think”. This is not only the response of an innocent man. It’s the response of a great artist.
