You Say Either And I Say Either...

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2009)

I first watched this when I was 22, the age of the characters in the movie. Then, throughout the years I would watch this movie once or twice a year always comparing my life to theirs as they "aged" in the movie. I've lived in Chicago and all over the United States and have in one way, shape or form lived each and every scene from this movie. Not intentionally and sometimes unfortunately, but I would always notice the lines or the movements within my own realm and sometimes laugh and sometimes not be very happy given that life can slap one across the face. What it comes down to is I love this movie as it will make one think, laugh and pause all at the same time without being overly clever and trying too hard as is with the current mix of "romantic comedies" today. But it is clever and that's the thing. I'm sure I'll be 94 one day and watching this movie and still thinking that I'll somehow bump into Meg Ryan at a bookstore and she'll fall in love with me. This movie set precedents for how to set up scenes in many different movies as I've noticed over the years. When Harry Met Sally is like a 1940's movie with a modern twist......Even 20 somethings of today I believe will appreciate this little gem. It's the small things in the movie that give it character. Be well movie people!
