Nora Ephron's Sleepless in Seattle gave us a happy ending that's the epitome of what rom-coms should always be about.
The last 10 minutes of Sleepless in Seattle are not clever. They're not innovative, creative, imaginative, or any other synonym that you could look up in a thesaurus to describe "clever." In fact, screenwriter Nora Ephron herself was more clever than that. But that's the point.
'Sleepless in Seattle's Final Scene Is the Epitome of Nora Ephron Sleepless in Seattle derived much of its aura — and especially that final scene on the Empire State Building —from An Affair to Remember, which itself is referenced quite a few times during the film between Annie Reed and her friend, Becky , who would watch it on repeat, treating it as if it were some sort of digital shrine.
That entire scene—from the moment Annie gets up from her table to the fade out in front of the Empire State Building—only technically lasts seven minutes. That's it. But in that short time, Ephron managed to say everything that she had ever needed to say about love.
