On first glance, it may seem unimaginable that the term ‘Harry and Sally’ can have a movie. Why has it taken so long for someone to take the cue and make a movie? The answer lies within the bizarre, complex, and bittersweet love-hate relationship that two young romantic misfits endure. After losing the one they loved or maybe trying to win her back in their own way, our duo finally faces reality amidst their own notion of success. As the story progresses, they gradually drop down all the ridiculous notions of what love is really about and get quickly back to the basics of life.
Storyline
Harry (Billy Crystal) is a typical dorky guy who worships at the altar of Sally (Meg Ryan). The two meet and fall madly in love with each other. They spend hours on end discussing their interests, sharing secrets and communicating through winking glances and innuendos. All goes well until one fateful day when Harry comes to find out that Sally has already started dating someone else. UPSET over losing her , Harry ends up insulting her in front of everyone at the café they frequent. As a result, Sally rejects him and the two never speak again.
Flash-forward ten years later, and Harry is still unmarried with no prospects (despite numerous job interviews). Fed up with his own life, he takes out his frustration on Sally in an old journal entry where he mercilessly criticizes her for abandoning him. One day while cleaning out some old files, he finds an old picture of Sally and is shocked to see that she has finally gotten married. Now in his eighties, Harry makes the trip down to Florida to apologize and maybe patch things up with Sally.
However, as it turns out, Sally is now a bitter old woman who has no use for Harry other than as a memory token from her past. The two inevitably end up arguing until one or the other gives in and leaves. In the end, Harry learns a valuable lesson about life and love: sometimes things happen for a reason and it’s best to just move on.
The climax of the movie
Harry, now an old man, returns to Sally’s home town after many years of being away. He visits her at her retirement home and they finally reconcile. They spend the day reminiscing about their past and Harry learns that even though things didn’t work out between them in the end, Sally still loved him deeply.

Conclusion
Since the release of this movie in 1989, it has remained as one of the greatest love stories in American history. When Harry and Sally are introduced to each other, they have little memorable connection between them. But, with a little bit of imagination, this movie portrays the same scenario of what it really feels like when we meet someone for the first time, when we share the same interests, and how we fall in love and develop a relationship. This is one of the many reasons why this film has been and will continue to remain a cult classic.
