When Harry Met Sally...
When Harry met Sally is a straightforward film that targets the idea of what we would do for someone we love. Rob Reiner, who was coming off a hot steak of films like Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, and The Princess Bride put together a heart touching story with the help of writer, Nora Ephron. .Billy Crystal aka Mike Wazowski and Meg Ryan do a great job not only as a couple but as a realistic interpretation of a friendship. There’s no over dramatic sexual tension nor constant need from physical relationship to replace the emotional relationship. You root for them, but you can also understand their needs to not overly go after each other. One comes from a broken marriage while the other struggles for the idea of even getting married. .The inclusion of the older couples explaining their stories was nice. Not sure if they were real or not but they great job showcasing what we would for someone we love. .Also really quick side note, the opening of this film upsets me. Harry and Sally leave UChicago and drive to New York. But UChicago is on Chicagos south side and the next shot is Harry and Sally coming from the north side of the city going south. I know it was an aesthetic choice most likely but why not just show the city from the south looking north lmao. .Anyways, I feel as I mature, I yearn for the romance genre. Maybe it’s something by my unconscious mind or just age. But seriously, it’s a delight to watch moves like this, might have to rewatch 10 things I hate about you again soon. But to wrap this up, when Harry met Sally is a simple yet enjoyable film. There’s no need to know anything and that makes it a perfect pleasure film to watch when you’re bored. Again Crystal and Ryan knock it out of the park! 4.5/5
