Okay, hi, I'm Morgan. I'm Lily. And today we're actually going to be talking about the movie When Harry Met Sally, because I don't know about you, but that's one of my favorite rom-coms ever, and I've seen it way too many times, so I could probably talk about it for hours. Yeah, same here. I love it. So, for those of you who haven't seen When Harry Met Sally, it's basically about two friends, Harry, who's played by Billy Crystal, and Sally, who's played by Meg Ryan, and kind of just their whole journey of friendship. You know, it starts out with them leaving college, they're both going to New York City together, so they're driving, I can't even remember how many hours, but tell me, it's from Chicago to New York City, and it's just kind of how they meet for the first time, doing this car ride, and they just get to know each other, and then they kind of meet their friends, Jess, who's played by Bruno Kirby, and Marie, who's played by Carrie Fisher. I'm going to land on this conversation, where Billy Crystal's character is like, men and women can't be friends, because, if a man thinks that the woman is attractive, because he is just going to want to have sex with her. What I'm saying is, and this is not a come on in any way, shape, or form, is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way. How do you know? Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive. No, you pretty much want to know him too. And it's just this funny thing that really kicks off the movie with this food for thought, and it's this kind of underlying theme, because you can tell that they like each other, but they don't admit that until later on, and there's sort of this really strong ebb and flow throughout the whole movie of being friends, versus kind of being in love with each other, but friend zoning each other. And I think a lot of us have had that happen at some point in our lives, so it's really funny to watch. It is kind of cool, because in the beginning of the movie, right when they're in that car ride, he says to her, like, you're very attractive. And she kind of freaks out, because, and so right off the bat, we do kind of know that he finds her attractive, and so then that kind of pays away, because then, bad, they're like, well, I guess we can't be friends then. And it's funny, because they do stay friends for so long, and they do run in those circles for so long, until they're around our age, and then the next time, there's a bunch of time jumps in the movie, so the next time, it's like five years later, they're like professional, like in serious relationships, thinking about marriage, and then there's another age jump, where it's like another five years, and then another five years, and it's like, it's really interesting, because they always have the same relationship dynamic that really makes you think, like, oh, even when you're an adult, you're always kind of going to be a kid, and that's just, like, something that's so honestly, like, relieving to hear, and light-hearted. That's really true. I honestly, like, never thought about it that way, because, like, we're in our 20s, like, very early 20s, and, like, we're going through these troubles now, where it's like, we're too scared to, like, confess, like, our feelings, or say, like, exactly what we're thinking, because we're scared of maybe, like, a negative outcome, but it's so, like, crazy to think about, like, these are adults, and, like, they're still dealing with the same problems that, like, we kind of deal with. But, yeah, that is the great thing about this movie, like, there are so many relatable aspects to it, but tying back to the Pictionary scene, that one's just forever, because it's the same thing, like, they're adults then, too, like, they are a little bit older, probably like later 20s than us, and they're hanging out with their friends, which, obviously, we're in college, we all go to our friends' houses and play games. So, it's also worth noting that before the Pictionary scene even happened, Harry and Sally had kind of hooked up for the first time, like, they had kind of made it official that they were both attracted to each other, but then Harry ends up leaving right away in the morning, so Sally's devastated by that, but, once again, like, she's too proud to, like, show that that upset her, so instead, they both just kind of confess, like, oh, it was a mistake, like, it's not that big of a deal, and then, once again, like, they're just going through that repeated cycle of they just don't want to admit they actually have feelings for each other. Yeah, and I think this really damages their relationship, and this really gets the ball rolling for the rest of the film. Such a funny scene, too, like, especially, like, obviously, them playing Pictionary's funny, because no one can get it, and it's so obvious, but it's just, like, seeing, like, how Harry and Sally are, like, not interacting with each other, but they obviously, like, are staring at each other, and they're observing everything, like, they're doing, and their girlfriends or boyfriends are doing, that scene, and then, like, with Carrie Fisher going into, like, the kitchen with Meg Ryan, like, that is just hilarious, like, just, like, that's so relatable, because I feel like, as girls, especially, like, we love, like, our little girl talk, and, like, we're always going off in private, like, when you see, like, someone you like with someone else, and you're so jealous, so that scene, like, actually kills me, like, when they're kind of talking about, like, Harry's new girlfriend, and she, like, Meg Ryan's so mad, and she's trying to make up all these excuses for why this girl's, like, weird, and then they find out this girl's, like, actually pretty, pretty outstanding, she's, like, a good, has a good career, she's successful, and then Meg Ryan's just kind of like, oh, okay, that scene gets me every time, it's just so funny. And it's also funny, because Billy Crystal and his friends have, like, this same sort of thing, where Meg Ryan has, Meg Ryan and Sally's character has this new boyfriend who seems, like, very handsome and put together, and, you know, like, someone that they would want to be like, but obviously they're hating on him, because, you know, he's Mr. Perfect, and there's just sort of this mirror of Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal having this same sort of jealousy, and trying to play it off in a cool way to their friends. Definitely. And then showing how it's transitioning to, like, romantic relationships, romantic feelings, I don't know, it's just such a cool thing, seeing, like, all the different friend dynamics shift into, like, relationship dynamics. Yeah, absolutely, and I think for me, like, the Pictionary scene is particularly relatable, because it's just, you know, they're just sitting with their friends, they're playing games, they're laughing, they're having a good time, they're making fun of each other, it's just, like, this playful banter, and then, you know, they're going off into their own places and, like, having side conversations, and it's like, we all have been there, we have all been with a group of people, and we have to step aside. Yeah, no, I totally agree, and I think you summed up the scene perfectly. Yeah, well, I think that's all I have. Yeah, me too. Thanks for listening! Bye! Bye!
