But in fact it is not. The whole film is just a mediocre work of false warmth.
All the motives of "When Harry Met Sally" are all pinned on a common discussion, that is, "Is there a pure relationship between men and women who don't go to bed." This is a popular topic, suitable for living room, dining table, bbs emotional version etc. to discuss. Its popularity has a subtle tacit understanding, it has no intellectual or intellectual difficulty, and there is no danger of reality. At the same time, this topic also has an inherent ambiguity, for some specific groups of people, It's a really flattering topic.
"When Harry Met Sally" chose this topic to start the story, and it was a coincidence from the beginning. It visualizes a fictitious topic, and calls on those who discuss the topic to participate in the viewing by means of video. Because the topic is so widely discussed, such a choice undoubtedly has a solid foundation in terms of box office revenue.
However, the topic fails from the start, presupposing the answer between two alternatives, and when it turns its attention to the answer itself, the richness of real life is completely abstracted. The twists and turns, conflicts, indifference, obsession and other subtle parts are omitted, and the simplified story loses its rich meaning.
In the film, this topic becomes a covenant between the two protagonists, that is, they try to maintain their sexual innocence with each other. There is nothing in itself questionable about the avoidance of sex that calls attention to it. However, when the two protagonists solemnly preserve their innocence, all kinds of actions seem ridiculous.
We can't understand why the vulgar Harry at the beginning of the movie disappears in the back; we can't understand where the pain after Harry's failed marriage comes from, the narrative of the movie is not sufficient, so the performance of this character shows a lot of ridiculous, The false element is based on doubts about the person's character, so his performance in sexual innocence is also unreliable.
In the movie, they bluff painfully, cherish and really think about each other, and panic when they have sex. This performance is too hard. A vexation that does not exist is manifested in them as vexation. This is the whole secret.
When they met, there was no collision. Instead, it was like a premeditated plan, after spending decades of strength, only to finally go to bed shyly.
