Continuity mistake: Amanda Peet finishes the shoot and breaks away from the set to meet up with a friend at a pizzeria across the street for lunch. They pick a table on the sidewalk, and as soon as Radha Mitchell sits down she drops her handbag by her side next to her chair down on the ground. In the next immediate closeup shot when the two of them start conversing, the purse is now up on the table, very prominently in the middle of the screen.
Melinda and Melinda (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Woody Allen
Starring: Will Ferrell, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Wallace Shawn, Vinessa Shaw, Stephanie Roth Haberle, Larry Pine, Neil Pepe
The ending of the tragic story: Melinda goes to Ellis Moonsong's apartment and Laurel is there. Ellis and Laurel tell Melinda that they really like each other. Melinda tries to kill herself by jumping off the balcony but Ellis stops her. The ending of the comedic story: Hobie and Stacy (the model who Melinda and the pianist introduced to Hobie) go to Hobie's apartment and they talk a bit and then Stacy starts rambling about how her love life is a mess and suddenly she wants to kill herself by jumping out the window but Hobie stops her. Later that night, Melinda goes to Hobie's apartment and tells him that she's a bit jealous that Hobie was with Stacy. Hobie confesses his feelings for Melinda and they kiss. After the ending of this story, we go back to the group of friends in the restaurant and one mentions that maybe the essence of life is neither tragic or comic; it depends on your point of view.
