The friend zone has existed for a long time and quite a few films have been made that talk about this phenomenon. One of them is “When Harry Met Sally.” Today I want to analyze the relationship of the main characters of this film. Harry appears before us as a selfish realist, speaking very frankly about what he thinks. Sally is shown in the image of a more cheerful, but proud nature, which can be quite unpredictable at times. Their relationship has many positive and negative aspects. Life😅Let's look at some of them: They always disagree with each other. Already in their first meeting, when they were about to travel together from Chicago to New York, they argue with each other about everything in the world, their opinions in 95% of cases are not the same . This makes both of them incredibly angry. Harry and Sally despise each other. And even many years later, when they first meet by chance, both somehow arrogantly communicate with each other. Suppressing Their Feelings For almost the entire film, Harry and Sally suppress their feelings for each other. Each of them finds dozens of reasons for himself why his feelings cannot be correct and why these feelings should be ignored. Even after sleeping for the first time, they continue to tell themselves that it was just a mistake. They only did it because Sally was upset, not because they both wanted it. Their romantic story began with friendship. Friendship is an excellent foundation for strong, trusting relationships. Even though our heroes did not immediately become good friends, their friendship is sincere, they can share dreams, sorrows with each other and are excellent at supporting each other. They complement each other. friend Harry is pessimistic, he often sees the bad sides in situations, while Sally has a more optimistic nature, she is not burdened by everyday hardships. It’s as if they can fill each other’s voids. And a picture is created of how much these two need each other. They are honest with each other Throughout the film, these two are extremely honest with each other. They speak the truth face to face, even if sometimes harshly. I think this is one of the qualities for which both value each other. Their ability to communicate and help each other They talk a lot about life, about relationships, about exes, about breakups, to help make sense of everything. They seem to know what to ask at a certain moment to help each other. Accept each other's flaws When these two finally become friends, we see that they have learned to accept each other's flaws. In the final scene, at the Christmas party, where Harry and Sally finally confess their feelings, we can hear exactly what flaws Harry accepts in Sally : “I like that you freeze when it’s 22 degrees outside. I like that you spend an hour and a half ordering a sandwich. I love that wrinkle that appears on the bridge of your nose when you look at me as if I’m crazy...” There is no conclusion. I have a question for each of you, “Is there friendship between a man and a woman?” Try to answer at least for yourself 😅 Gestalt therapist Maria Khlyanova To book a consultation, write to +7-916-019-5794tg@floris046
