When Harry Met Sally
When Harry met Sally
Based on the communication styles listed in your text (Closed, Open, Hidden & Blind), please match a character to each of these styles. List the character, and then support your answer with a specific example.
Closed Communication Style-
Marie shows signs of representing a “closed communication style” because she spends most of her time in the film overly obsessed with a married man. She has a hard time recognizing the fact that he is married and stays in the “relationship” with him even though it has no clear destination.
Hidden Communication Style-
I witnessed two examples of hidden communication thru out the movie. One example, when Harry is persistent about questioning Sally’s life and never really shares his own life experiences. Jess is another example of a hidden communicator. Jess was concerned about Harry not being happy when they were batting. He also showed that he was concerned about the progress of Harrys relationship and his emotional feelings while his marriage was disintegrating.
Blind Communication Style-
From my understanding, blind communicators voice their opinions about how things should be done and have no problem with telling people what they have done wrong. The character that I think represented blind communication mostly throughout the film was Harry. Harry had the tendency to think his knowledge superseded everyone else when it came to relationships. For example, Harry criticized Sally on the way to the restaurant when they first met outside the college. He talked about her choice of career, and basically said that she will not know what to do when “her world comes crashing down” so to speak.
Open Communication Style-
Based on my knowledge from the book, people that express all their feelings, emotions, life experiences and more are considered “open communicators”. Based on the conversations between Harry and Sally, I would have no choice but to say that Sally is classified as an open
