Movies have an amazing way to take viewers out of reality and place them into unlikely situations. When Harry Met Sally is easily one of my favorite films because of the witty way the story is told and how out of the millions that live in Manhattan, the two main characters kept running into each other throughout the years. In When Harry Met Sally, the two main characters, Harry and Sally, met at college in Chicago which they then take a road trip from Chicago to Manhattan. Harry is fun, witty jokester, whereas Sally takes things more seriously and she is more of a perfectionist. The two are completely opposite of each other but it is true when people say, “Opposites attract.” Throughout the trip they learn a lot about each other but once they …show more content…

The story takes place in a city in the year of 2053 A.D. Cities are imagined to be busy and energetic at night but in this city it is portrayed as deserted and noiseless as the author wrote ¨To enter that silence that was the city at eight o'clock of a misty evening in November...¨ Author Ray Bradbury goes on to explain the setting in several different parts of the story like that the ¨cement was vanishing under flowers of grass¨ or the ¨...cottages and homes with their dark windows...¨ to give an image to each reader. The setting can create a mood or an atmosphere- a subtle emotional overtone that can strongly affect our feelings.

Dark tomblike homes line the streets.” Bradbury uses mood and details to explain how dehumanization and technology ruined the society that the character Mr. Mead was
Much of the relationship of When Harry Met Sally stems from the Attractive Theory. In this theory, it explains “the three primary forces that draw people together to form a relationship” which are based on proximity, attractiveness, and similarity (Alberts, Nakayama, and Martin 219).

The biggest difference between the book and the movie, in my opinion, would be the frame story. Goldman start the Novel talking about how he had pneumonia when he was younger and almost died. His father read him the princess bride who was actually written by s, morgensten and it changed his life forever.

...movie that I fell in love with. But most of all I love how the story line is a great overlap into the cinematically engaging movie.
