Movie starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan <시애틀의 잠 못 이루는 밤>Hollywood’s best romantic film with the theme of fateful love. It is considered a masterpiece, so much so that the Motion Picture Association of America selected it as the best romantic film of all time. Because both of the main characters had someone they had promised to marry, they had no choice but to lie about their feelings at first, but eventually they confirmed their love for each other, and despite the unexpected and unfortunate events that followed, they formed a fateful love. The story of two engaged men and women meeting by chance and falling in love may be an inappropriate love story, but both Nikki and Terry chose money over love and decided to get married, and in the sense that they later choose unconditional, pure love, it is Hollywood style. It can be said to be a typical happy ending romance movie.
