Movie Review Time!
Before Sunrise(1995)
Plot: Before Sunrise is a passionate and intelligent romance between a young American (Jesse) and a French student (Celine). A chance encounter on the train incites intrigue, and Jesse provocatively suggests that Celine postpones her return to France and embarks instead on a spontaneous expedition to Vienna. In the course of their 14-hour relationship, the two share in their love for the unrehearsed and their appreciation for the unexpected as they explore in a powerful meeting of hearts and minds. Dawn breaks. Sad in silence, they make their way to the station. As they bid each other farewell, Jesse is seized by another impulse - another encounter ?
Review:A indifferent,unique romantic movie unlike the usual you see in the cinemas.The movie is solely focused on them having casual conversations(they swear too!) as they venture Vienna and soon falling in love with each other.Whereas other romance movies always have like a third party sort of thing...well their obstacle in this movie is...time,its sad to see what could like last forever could only last for less than a day.Furthermore there is a poem that is truly sweet
Daydream, delusion, limousine, eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm delusion angel
I'm fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Latched in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I'll carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?
Rating:8/10
Before Sunset(2004)
Plot: Jesse, a writer from the US, and Celine, a Frenchwoman working for an environment protection organization, acquainted nine years ago on the train from Budapest to Vienna, meet again when Jesse arrives in Paris for a reading of his new book. As they have only a few hours until his plane leaves, they stroll through Paris, talking about their experiences, views and whether they still love each other, although Jesse is already married with a kid.
Review: Part 2 of Before Sunset,this movie takes place 9 years later after Before Sunset.The conversations are more deep with regards with about their life,as not only they talk about their past but present and future as well.As they question what if Celine did meet Jesse 6 months after they seperated in Before Sunset.Once again the movie is against time which really sucks as this time.....its only a few hours compared to nearly a day in the previous movie.The ending is something left to be desired but the topics they talk about are rather interesting....more political and dirty topics for our perverted friends out there....
Rating: 7/10
