When Harry met Sally

"Can men and women ever just be friends?" is what the film questions. When Harry met Sally is a 1989 romantic comedy movie. Harry thinks " Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way " and Sally disagrees, claiming that men and women can be strictly friends without sex. This argument becomes an underlying theme to the movie. So the whole movie, though both of them like each other really well, they don't tell that to each other coz their ego comes between and they didn't wanna negate each other. But in the end they do make love to each other and realize tht they love each other.

Now, why did I take this topic. Very simple, I could not agree with Harry. I don't know about the culture here or how it was in 1989 period, but I have been having only guys as friends right from my childhood and I was always comfortable having them as a friend. The movie says at some point if the girl is attractive, then the guy would wanna have sex with the gal and there goes the friendship. Yes true, if the guy think like that. But I don't agree all guys to think like that. I have had really great friendships and still have those. I really really doubt not 1 among them would have thought this even in their dreams. With the part, loving your friend and making love to her, could be agreed if she was the only girl you think you found for your life, then I think there is nothing wrong in loving your friend. I totally believe that only a good friend knows u better than anyone and could adjust with you and live happily with you. So if both the friends have the same feelings for each other, there is nothing wrong is marrying each other. But this would work only if both the gal and guy have same thoughts and thinkings and doesn't care what the society feels. If atleast one of them thinks about it, then it wont happen.

Last but now least, the movie was good with wonderful dialogs between them but again I felt I should write a blog on the theme as 80% of my friends are guys and how I contradict from the movie.
