Dad's Full (Spoiler) Review
and Deep Dive of When Harry Met
Sally...
"No man can be friends
with a woman he finds attractive. He always
wants to have sex
with her." - Harry Burns
Why watch this?
The heartfelt and completely real performances by Crystal
and Ryan are a thing of beauty.
Plot Summary: Harry
Burns and Sally Albright, over the course of several years,
repeatedly cross paths after a contentious initial car ride
together. They eventually forge a deep friendship while
navigating their individual romantic relationships and the ups
and downs of life in New York City.
Dad's Preview:
There is no better film that deals with the fragile, and often
comical, entity known as the 'human relationship'. It really is
a thing that's unclassifiable. The courtship (mating ritual?)
between men and women follows no rules. Each encounter is
different. There's no perfect recipe. Some work, some don't.
It's a crap shoot; a roll of the dice. However, if you play, and
don't rush it, it just might work out. Once again Rob Reiner
proves that he's a great director.
