a fascinating story

I watch this movie every year. I put it in the DVD player this Saturday and revisited it, still wonderful, still sigh - what a story! I admire the people who conceived this story, the plot is so well-structured, but it seems casual and natural.
After graduating from college, Harry (Sally's best friend's boyfriend) took Sally's car and the two traveled from Chicago to New York together. Along the way, the two kept arguing. One of the topics was: Can men and women be friends? Harry said: Impossible. And Sally thinks: Of course.... After 18 hours of chatter, the two finally arrived in New York. They parted under the stone arch. When they met for the first time, they both felt that each other was a little unpleasant.
Five years later, the airport. The two happened to be on the same flight when Harry was about to get married and Sally had just gotten a new boyfriend. Sally still had a bad impression of Harry from her first trip, so the conversation wasn't pleasant. The two met in a hurry and parted ways in a hurry.
Another five years later, in a bookstore. Sally, who just broke up with her boyfriend, and Harry, who is going through a divorce, meet again. This time the two sat down for a meal. After dinner, we took a walk together and chatted happily. Slowly, the two became good friends who talked about everything. Harry regards Sally as the first confidant of the opposite sex in his life, and Sally also only regards her as a good friend. The year is coming to an end. At the party waiting for the new year, the two danced happily together. Slowly, the face-to-face slow dance made them feel a little weird and awkward to each other. Finally, with the countdown to the new year, the two smiled unnaturally and said to each other: Happy new year!
Harry and Sally each brought out their friends, hoping to give each other a chance to develop a new relationship. As a result, both of them were not seen. On the contrary, the good friends of the two met their eyes and became lovers.
Next, Harry met his ex-wife with an affair partner, and suddenly felt lost. Sally has been comforting and supporting. Similarly, Sally later received the news that her ex-boyfriend was getting married. She felt aggrieved, called Harry to come over, cried and comforted both parties, and finally had a relationship.
So far, pure friendship has taken on other flavors. Where to go? Harry wanted to restore the previous relationship as soon as possible, and Sally agreed on the surface, but she had begun to blame Harry for this attitude because she already liked him. Two people who want to go further and want to take a step back gradually have conflicts. Sally's evasion prevented Harry from letting go of his past suspicions and reconciling.
Another New Year's Eve. Sally at the prom was bored and bored. And Harry paced alone to the stone arch where the two first broke up in New York, the past one by one, he was finally sure he loved her. Harry, who ran to the dance, finally told Sally the final answer.
Look at what Harry said at the time: "I love that you get cold when it's seventy one degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you 're looking at me like I'm nuts, I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Years Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.

Sally, who burst into laughter, said: "You see, that is just like you, Harry. You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you Harry...I really hate you. I hate you."
What a beautiful story, what a yearning love.

    It's beautiful, the plot is not old-fashioned, it looks very warm

    Everything I wanted to say was finished by others, and the final confession was so touching. But, but, but! Throughout the article, I have been paying attention to the actor's hairline from the beginning, and I am more and more concerned about it!

When Harry Met Sally... quotes

  • Sally Albright: You know, I'm so glad I never got involved with you. I just would have ended up being some woman you had to get up out of bed and leave at 3:00 in the morning and go clean your andirons, and you don't even have a fireplace, not that I would know this.

  • [Harry and Sally discussing orgasms]

    Sally Albright: Most women at one time or another have faked it.

    Harry Burns: Well, they haven't faked it with me.

    Sally Albright: How do you know?

    Harry Burns: Because I know.

    Sally Albright: Oh. Right. That's right. I forgot. You're a man.

    Harry Burns: What was that supposed to mean?

    Sally Albright: Nothing. It's just that all men are sure it never happened to them and all women at one time or other have done it, so you do the math.
