I rewatched my all-time favorite film, 'When Harry Met Sally,' for its 30th anniversary. After watching it through a woman’s eye instead of a girl’s, I realize that the love story I once considered so simple is actually more complex than I gave it credit for.
Marie: This is just like in the movies, remember in The Lady Vanishes when she says to him, ‘You’re most obnoxious man…”When Harry Met Sally is the original romantic comedy, and it knows it’s a romantic comedy. In the above dialogue, Marie and Sally tell you what kind of movie you’re going to see: The kind where the two characters in the title initially hate each other, and then they eventually fall “madly” in love.
I’m now the same age as Sally is in the movie , and in honor of the film’s 30th anniversary, I recently rewatched it. I was young and idealistic when I first saw the movie and, similar to the characters as they aged, I’m now mature and a bit more skeptical. I now understand that When Harry Met Sally isn’t just about, to quote a song from the movie, “How to make two lovers from friends.” It’s about how to build intimacy with another human being. The barriers to love are not very dramatic in the film, but they’re more real: It’s lack of intimacy, it’s egotism, it’s immaturity, it’s actively withholding your true self from another person because to bare yourself to them is to be vulnerable. And being vulnerable is scary as hell.
They counsel each other through their respective heartbreaks , they call each other out on their assholery , and they make each other laugh .
