I saw When Harry Met Sally the other day and really hated it. I don't know if it's the worst movie I've ever seen but it's popular I guess and it was fucking garbage.
Harry is an absolute misogynist piece of shit. He's not funny, just fucking sucks as a person so hard. His "men and women can't be friends" line is basically just a boomer justification for workplace sexism and harassment.
fucking garbage movie about a serial harasser who thinks he's a comedian
It's very much a product of it's time when you could just be a misogynistic dickass and it was read straight as humor. The 90s sucked never romanticize them.
I think the famous scene with Meg Ryan faking an orgasm was the real impetus of it's true popularity.
I think Americans were (are) bombarded with sexualization in ads and movies but also forbidden to express it socially in schools or churches or at the grocery store. It is a violent puritanical tension that makes the subjects easy to control and dominate; the constant frission exploiting genuine instinct and emotion with the learned repression from dominant culture. Subjects fall over with just a nudge one way or the other as the need arises.

That and Rob Reiner is Liberalism distilled.
