"When Harry Met Sally..." on a Micro-dose - 154


Listen Later

"When Harry Met Sally..." is one of the best rom-coms ever made written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner. This type of film did set the standard for other filmmakers to take note and make their versions of two people falling for each other such as the works of Éric Rohmer and Richard Linklater just to name a few. It's a very quotable film from beginning to end that highlights the crazy and the dull of the people's ways of handling friendships. Can men and women be JUST friends? Especially when sex is there on the table, figuratively. The film tackles that with Billy Crystal playing Harry and Meg Ryan playing Sally, who are ambitious, filled with goals but they're stuck. They also have needs, a void to be filled by human contact and who would have know that these two would court each other for years to come. "When Harry Met Sally..." is filled with great dialog that I don't mind hearing 'till the end of time, people just talking about the anxieties of dating and self-love. Reiner's cinematographer captured these two and various scenes that doesn't make the film look boring, there's always something nice to look at. We see them, we see New York in it's '80S glories, and we see how Reiner makes us fall in love with all that. Can two people love each other let alone be friends? These two characters demonstrate the human experience. Sometimes we gotta bash our brains to realize who we want in our little lives but it seems it's never too late. I dig the film for the way it ends. It's powerful, corny, BUT powerful. The film gives us the encouragement to break boundaries on the human connection and falling in love again, and again, and again.
