Creation Of The Romcom As We Know It | When Harry Met Sally Part 1

Let’s turn back time and talk about the evolution of the romcom and what they looked like throughout history - from Shakespeare all the way up to the late 70’s. We also talk about how the passage of time is used to reflect realistic character growth in When Harry Met Sally, and how time is an important element in the film. Join us as we witness what happens when Harry meets Sally (haha I couldn’t resist!) in the first part of what we consider the OG modern romcom. By the way, do you know what a whipped coffee is?
