#thecheckin: Ep. 31 - Adulthood and Modern Adulthood
I was watching the other night when Harry met Sally, a fantastic film, and Rob Reiner's direction of the movie and the quirkiness and the way they engage with each other. It's a certain type of nuance where you could tell these people not only were very, very good in the film, but the writing really wanted to get into what did it mean to be in love? What is a platonic relationship? What is a serious relationship? What are any of these things?
