Thread:Talk:Subtext/Anyone disagree that Fast Eddie's Annie Hall example isn't subtext at all?/reply (11)

But what's brought into the text would not have been subtext otherwise. Without the subtitles, no one would be thinking "He's saying hello because he's worried about his deoderant." That line comes completely out of nowhere.

I've never actually seen the movie, but it seems that even with the subtitles, there's still subtext in that scene. For instance, "Leslie" never actually says she's attracted to the guy, but it can be gleaned from the subtext of her Inner Monologue that she does.
