The Anti-Nihilist | |
Stardust Memories / int_17640aa8 | comment |
The Anti-Nihilist: In the end of the film Sandy is back on the train uncertain where he is going, but he is no longer desperate to get off as he is happily with Isobel. He declares that even if they are headed to the same trash heap, it's not so bad as they have each other. | |

Take That, Audience! | |
Stardust Memories / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: A lot of fans for a long while took the film as a slap in their face because of the way Allen portrayed his fans - then they loved it as Self-Deprecation. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
Stardust Memories / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Over the course of the film, we see Sandy and Dorrie's relationship falling apart. Towards the end, there's a montage of Dorrie's increasingly neurotic statements. | |

Author Avatar | |
Stardust Memories / int_66755d29 | comment |
Author Avatar: Sandy Bates is pretty much Allen. In fact, it's strongly hinted that Bates is a character played by Allen, who is As Himself in the final scene after the film had been screened. | |

Show Within a Show: The entire film is a movie being screened at a Woody Allen festival. (Yes, Woody, not Sandy.) The actors even talk about their roles in the film when leaving. | |

Shout-Out | |
Stardust Memories / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Sandy takes Daisy to see The Bicycle Thief. The movie takes its name from The Roaring '20s song "Stardust" — the Nat King Cole cover in particular. The idea of a comedic filmmaker wanting to do "serious" movies is a reference to Sullivan's Travels. | |

Stardust Memories / int_e3cee2e7 | comment |
Empathic Environment: Even Bates' apartment reflects his mood. When he's depressed, the famous photo of Nguyen Van Lém being executed adorns his wall. When he's happy, Groucho Marx in Animal Crackers is on the wall. | |

Tom Hanks Syndrome: invoked The fans (and the studio executives) all complain that Sandy keeps making "serious" movies instead of the kind of slapstick comedies that made him famous. | |

Brick Joke: One segment shows a monster that is representative of Sandy's anger going on a rampage, killing his therapists and his ex-wife. Later in the film, a fan asking a stupid question is mauled by the creature in an effective Jump Scare. | |
