2. Woody Allen’s comedy is not mimetic because he not
attempting to represent reality. He attempts to recollect the memories based on
the way he wants to remember them. He is representing the way we actually
remember things, in scattered thought, with variations thought about after the
fact. He is adding more life to the memories being told in the film, by telling
them in the way he would now, being that it is years passed, and he has had
time to think on them and understand the situation differently.
3. While the verbal conversation is going on, the subtitles
at the bottom of the screen show what the characters are thinking because they
obviously aren’t going to say to each other what the subtitles say. It makes
the conversation closer to what is really being communicated in this situation,
and also how each of the characters are both critiquing each other and
themselves during the conversation. It’s a very clever and comical way to
further the conversation and juxtapose what is actually happening on screen.
