Thank you! I had never really gone below the surface on Harry reading the last page until this week, mostly because it's a great joke.
I think one of the things that is remarkable about Reiner's work is how devoid of cynicism and ironic detachment it is. Indeed, both The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally rest on breaking down the skepticism and suspicion of characters in the stories.
As I've gotten older, I've come to love (and strongly favor) art that is truly earnest and that wants its characters to succeed. There is not enough of it being made anymore.
