He Said, She Said Drama

I was watching He Said, She Said yesterday after rewarding myself with hot chocolate and honey stars on the side. I've seen this movie when I was in highschool and I kind of gotten the grasp of the true relationship humor and debate between Lori Bryer and Dan Hanson, two power journalists who find themselves in a television success. But now I appreciate it even more. We all know that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus crap, which means in terms of perceptions about life, love, relationships and even sex, we have a tendency to go against each other. This movie is perfect at telling everything. The script is smart and the actors are brilliant.

But the best and truest part of the movie is when Lori Bryer throws a mug at Dan Hanson, straight in the forehead ending with a loud MUG-THUD. It was hilarious! That incident briefly ended the relationship and started the whole flashback of the movie. It was hysterical because it's not something that we are expected to do. It's not a normal rebuttal process for people to throw things at each other or to simply let off steam or else society would be in a bloodbath. It is something we just imagine, but at a boiling point, could be actually done.



To tell you the truth I reserve a lot of understanding for Lori's actions. Throwing a mug and hitting it where it hurts, at some point, is unavoidable and saves time. It saves you the stress of explaining and going through monologues with a deaf audience. It even shakes up the logic in your object's brain. I'm sure it would bound to make people realize and feel better. I know. It's irrational and inappropriate? True. Necessary and tempting? Sometimes. Natural and Therapeutic? Yes.
