When Harry Met Sally 1989
Director: Rob Reiner
Lauren Potts
I finally saw it
It
was a long time coming, but I finally saw the infamous diner scene in its entirety. When
Harry Met Sally, is a romantic comedy about two people who bump into each
other thought-out their lives. From the
romantic-comedy aspect this movies deals with the relationship that men and
women share, but it also shows that finding your “true love” might take 12
years but it is worth the wait.
I
would say this is the college version of Say
Anything, their plots are different, but the bases of the story are the
same: guy meets girl, guy falls in love with girl, and they fall in love. Harry meets sally after they graduate from
college. They carpool to New York to
start their lives, and bump into each other over the next 12 years. When Harry first meets Sally I thought he immediately
liked her but was to macho to admit. Somewhere
in those twelve years they become friends and their friendship evolves into a
relationship sort of… After a big fight
the two calls it quits. In say Anything Lloyd is on the chase to win back Diane’s
heart , this is the same for Harry is on a chase well running in New York to
win back Sally.I that the men are fighting to win the girls heart, chivalry is
not dead after all at least back in 1989.
In an interesting way both men profess their love and the women kind of
give the same speech, Sally repeats “I hate you” and Diane say “I need You”
both showing their vulnerability.
In
watching the iconic diner scene there many different shots used. It started out as an over-the-shoulder shot
to a two-shot, then jumps to a close up of Sally’s face and back to an
over-the-shoulder-shot, and it repeats the order until the scene ends. There were a few cutaways too, mostly of
older people talking about relationships and when they fell in love. Showing how relationships evolve over
time. In the ending it ends with them kissing then
of a voice over of them talking, then a shot of them talking about their weeding
three months later after that cuts to black.
Yes
it is a chick flick and I must say I liked it. It was a cute movie. You can never go wrong with a simple love
story. It can teach you a thing or
two. I learned to say how I feel to
people whether than holding it in, even if is sappy you can’t hide how you feel
about a person.
