When Harry Met Sally (film review)

Film: When Harry Met Sally
Year: 1989
Genre: Comedy, drama, romance
Starring: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Carrie Fisher
About: Harry and Sally have known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.

My Review:
Having never seen When Harry Met Sally before even though it is one of the most popular rom-com movies around I decided I would check it out and finally see if it is as good as everyone was making it out to be.

The film is about two people named Harry and Sally who end up going to New York together and then go their separate ways, however after many years they run into each other and start to become friends. As they do and both see start seeing other people they realise that they both love each other but refuse to tell each other.

I thought this film was good in the way that it had between scenes old couples saying how they had found their love at first sight and sharing their stories, this is something that I found rather adorable. I also thought it was very fitting with the film as it goes alongside how Harry and Sally feel about each other. I also liked the way that it showed how Harry and Sally were not ready for each other romantically for a long time showing that sometimes it takes a bit longer to be with the one you are meant to be with however it will happen if it is meant to.

I would recommend this  movie to those who like romance films and want something which seems a lot more real than a lot of romance films you are able to see. This is a film which has aged well and deserves to still be very well known.

My Rating: 4/5

I am glad I did go into this blind however as I am not sure I would have seen it otherwise. The Beyond is about a black hole which appears just outside of Earth and how astronauts are going to try and find out what is on the other side and what would happen if this did happen in the next y...

As a result of this she gets put in an isolation in her own mind for a year due to the government wanting to use it on prisoners which is only an hour in the real world. ...
