This is an old movie, and it can be seen from the fact that the heroine in the play does not look like a fashion show at all. Regarding the depiction of the characters in the play, the film "The Devil Wears Prada" is probably the most incisive. If you want the heroine to wear dazzling clothes, then she will show you the bright and dazzling clothes. But no here, I think it's because of the "old movie", Sally's scruffy jeans and white shirt, looking at it now, no matter how you look at it, it's a portrayal of the word "outdated", with outdated messy curly hair , now it seems that it is just a pity for her pretty facial features. Regardless of my nonsense, at that time, it was also popular.
The story isn't complicated, it's smooth, and from the first time Harry and Sally met, I predicted that their fates would inevitably be entangled. The twists and turns are just to pave the way for the final result. We must love each other and be happy. But this seemingly superfluous "struggle process" made me feel that it was no longer superfluous this time.
Can a man and a woman be friends? The first time Harry said it bluntly, no. The reason is also very smooth. "There must be a sexual element between men and women." Although the differences between Chinese and American cultures make it a bit difficult for me to accept, and I cannot agree with the popularity of this kind of sex, I still believe in it. Pure friendship, even if it may be rare, is tough. But one thing I agree with is that the friendship between men and women, like the friendship between women and women, is different, and there are some subtle factors mixed into it. I can see the possibility of a lifetime of friendship between women and women, but I can't be so optimistic about men and women. Getting acquainted with each other is only a matter of a stage. If you want to maintain it for a long time in the future, no matter how you think about it, this is an extravagant hope. In particular, this kind of friendship has deepened to a certain extent, and the other party is regarded as a confidant. You will be disappointed one day, when the good times of the past have become a phantom, and you will end up estranged and speechless.
Isn't that the case with Harry and Sally? They were able to cuddle with each other for a while, but they also lost to time in the end. If there is no sublimation of friendship towards love in the end, they would probably just break up like this. The friendship between people is, after all, a subtle and unpredictable thing.
Before Harry and Sally fell in love, this was my favorite state. Two people with the same wounds rely on each other, pass the difficult time of the same nature, listen to each other's frustrations, and be considerate of each other's feelings. Very simple, if time can stand still, I pray to stay here. The two talked on the phone in their respective beds, watched the exact same movie, then said goodbye good night, turned off the lights and went to sleep. A little ambiguous, but so warm. Even though I knew that this state was just a prelude to a bigger story, I was still obsessed with it. Just wanting such a simple and light warmth, people who have been injured have an insurmountable fear of a new beginning. Not moving forward is also afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
Infatuation is infatuation, if you really asked me to perform, I would never dare. I don't have the proper control, and one day I will fall into it, in fact, I will fall into it too. Harry and Sally were at least lucky, because it was two people who were trapped, and their emotions were never alone, and I was reluctant to start a nightmare without an end again. Beautiful yearning may not be willing to make it come true, it is my mentality.
The hero and heroine in the story have one kind of mind, but I, who was watching outside the story, had another mind. It's touching, I think, so it wasn't the happy ending that impressed me the most. I ignored the point that the author and the director wanted to instill in the audience, and ran off to another path. Emotional things often have the same phenomenon, but obviously different experiences will resonate with each other. I think, from the beginning to the end, the points that don't seem to be the main points have resonated a lot with my digressing audience.
The couples who interspersed and told their stories always thought that the director wanted to contrast the twists and turns of Harry and Sally, and even once thought that if the last two people did not end well and failed to raise their eyebrows, this effect would be exciting enough. People's psychology is sometimes very strange. Although the happy ending is refreshing, it is as tasteless as chicken ribs. The development of the plot is straight towards the happiness of the two people, but I suddenly miss it. If I write it in a different way and change the ending, maybe I will feel more deeply. Powerlessness for one's own sake is an expression of reality. Love may not be smooth sailing.
Movies are movies after all, not realist novels. We get relief from hope from that fictional story. After watching it, at least we won’t be desperate and depressed. After all, people are always willing to have a good dream again.
