It Had To Be You American melodramas of the late 80s and 90s have their own special, unique spirit, they catch on with sincerity, soulfulness, ease and simplicity. I love these films for the harmony they bring, and how the heart shrinks after watching.
When Harry Met Sally The atmosphere of this melodrama is very warm, the jokes are witty, and the Christmas background only adds to the charm of this film. Also quite interesting and not beat up looks reception with different caught moments of life of heroes and parallel developing between them relations. The first time we met, we hated each other.
- No, you didn't hate me, I hated you. The second time we met, you couldn't even remember me.
- I remember you! The third time we met, we became friends.
- We have been friends for a long time.
- And then we stopped being them.
- And then we fell in love. I had a calm, neutral attitude towards Meg Ryan, I didn’t really like her, but I didn’t feel any negative emotions towards her. But in this picture she captivated me, and I even venture to assume that I will gladly continue to familiarize myself with her filmography.
Billy Crystal in the case I saw for the first time, and, I must say, from the point of view of his role, the film for the first viewing came across extremely successful. If Sally played by Meg Ryan I really liked, then Harry Bill Crystal I was absolutely delighted.
The duet of Ryan and Crystal was so organic that I plunged into the atmosphere of this wonderful film and just fell out of life for an hour and a half. Harry and Sally are in many ways typical images of men and women. They are different in a good way, and this is what pushes them to get to know each other better, pushes them to understand each other’s psychology and still find the answer to the question of whether a man and a woman can be friends. From one stage of life to another, Harry and Sally try to make sense of themselves and their relationship, which develops from dislike to warm feelings, which is seasoned with a decent dose of good humor. What is the legendary scene in the cafe “Me the same as her”? And the quotes that you want to stretch the film, it is almost impossible to isolate and take out of context, because one capacious phrase clings to another and the viewer only remains that try not to miss a word.
So would you be happier with Victor Lazlo than with Humphrey Bogart?
- When did I say that?
On the way to New York.
- I never said that. I would never say that. And it seems to me that Sally would have really preferred Humphrey Bogart and stayed in Casablanca.
