![]() While great minds often think alike, sometimes they think completely differently, and when these differences come together, it creates something truly magical. This collaboration and meshing of the minds is what makes that relationship so special in the film. ![]() She would often say this: ‘Well, when you’re right, you’re right.’ And that’s what’s missing from your little gender-ish scene that you wrote.’ And she said, ‘Well, then, why don’t you say that?’ That was a very empowering moment. Because you know what that father wants to do? He wants to get laid. I said, ‘There is not a father on the planet Earth who is gonna give a rat’s ass what his son thinks about him going out with a woman. ‘Oh, Tom, tell me more.’ And the argument I had was, ‘You have written a scene in which a father is undone by the fact that his son is upset about him going out with a woman.’ Oh, no. The Cast Away star went on to say:Īnd she loved it. She responded well to the actor’s pushback, loving the difference in point of view. Luckily, this conflict was resolved due to the collaborative nature of how Ephron works. The father/son relationship is the beating heart of the movie regardless, it can be hard to capture if the writer is coming from the perspective of a mother/son relationship. ![]() In the film Hank’s character, Sam, is a widower raising his son on his own, while he starts to date again after the loss. Oftentimes writers scribble stories from their own experiences and the personal relationships in their own life. And I said, ‘You guys are the wrong gender to understand what’s going on in this scene between me and my son.’ When we were working on the rehearsals for it, I realized that one of the things that was driving me nuts about the project is that Nora and Delia Ephron, who helped on the screenplay, are-sisters, but they are also mothers. And she was very intimidating, right off the bat. We got together, and we were going to make this movie about a guy and a kid and a la di da di da-Sleepless in Seattle. I was very cranky, particularly when I first met her to do Sleepless in Seattle, because I was really big and, you know, I had some hits under my belt. The Oscar winning actor has said in the past that he was actually quite grumpy when he started working on Sleepless, and now he clarified that much of this came down to him having a different point of view from Ephron when it came to his character. He has had several director partnerships with legends like Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Nora Ephron, who he worked with on both You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle. The Elvis star was recently profiled by The New Yorker, where the actor opened up about his experiences working on some of the most beloved films in Hollywood. ![]() It turns out, Hanks was actually quite ‘cranky’ while filming the movie however, something Ephron said helped change his attitude. The dreamy romance has something for everyone, and for such a happy film, you’d assume the cast had a blast behind the scenes of the Nora Ephron classic. It is sweet, sentimental, and features one of the most likable on-screen duos in the form of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Sleepless in Seattle is one of the best rom-coms of the ‘90s. ![]()
