When Harry Met Sally

Overall, "When Harry Met Sally" does not contain most of the typical cliches that are associated with romantic comedies, but it still does add to the overall idea that romantic comedies are possible because of some essential key elements. These are things such as sexual tension, conflict, and the two people ending up together by the end of the movie. The only one of the cliches that I saw was the scene near the end of the movie, where Harry was running to see Sally on New Years. The movie was actually very anti-climatic because they actually got together 3/4 of the way through the movie, instead of the very end of the movie. It was very interesting to watch the movie though because it was a little more realistic than the typical romantic comedies these days, it was more of a romantic drama in my opinion, because it was more introspective and moody instead of being funny and charming. It did help provide the context for many other romantic comedies, by providing the framework, showing what does and does not work, then allowing future writers and film makers to make the necessary adjustments to help make the genre more popular and mainstream.
