Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Even as his marriage to Felicia becomes increasingly strained, it's clear that Leonard still cares about her very much and that she is the great love of his life. He takes care of her the whole time after her cancer diagnosis and admits to a television crew interviewing him that he misses her terribly following her passing. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| Maestro / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: After Jamie hears rumors of her father's repeated dalliances with younger men, Leonard has to sit her down and tell her that they're not true and that it's just gossip fueled by jealousy. Deconstructed: it's clear that having to say such a shame-faced lie to his own daughter is something incredibly painful for him. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Maestro / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When Felicia talks to Leonard's sister about her troubled marriage to Leonard, the camera focuses entirely on Felicia's face as she speaks, giving the sense that she's giving a monologue directly to the audience. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Maestro / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Felicia gives a particularly vicious one following one of Bernstein's all-night benders, which leads to his almost missing Thanksgiving. She highlights his need for attention and just how sloppy he has gotten with his extra-marital affairs. | |

Mamet Speak: Characters will frequently interrupt or talk over each other during conversations, best shown during Leonard and Felicia's explosive argument on Thanksgiving where neither of them can get a full sentence in most of the time. | |

Behind Every Great Man | |
| Maestro / int_8f8402a9 | comment |
Behind Every Great Man: Felicia is shown to have this sort of presence in Leonard's personal life, serving as a stabilizer for him and trying her best to keep him and their marriage in check, and it's made clear that he'd be much more self-destructive were it not for her. Case in point, he practically falls apart after she dies. | |

| Maestro / int_96a2363c | comment |
Bathos: One of the film's most memorable moments is, after Leonard and Felicia's argument during Thanksgiving about their marriage—an explosive, no-holds-barred affair where both sides, especially Felicia, viciously tear into each other—a giant Snoopy float, part of the year's Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, passes the window of their apartment, highlighting the absurdity of the situation that Leonard and Felicia have found themselves into. | |

| Maestro / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: Used often, albeit subtly, throughout the film, with many single shots going on for a minute or longer. Special note goes to the seven-minute scene of Leonard conducting an orchestra at the Ely Cathedral in England, shot in one impressive long take. | |
