Before Sunrise...

I have just wached Before Sunrise. It is about two young twenty year olds drifted into each other in the middle of their own journeys. They spent a night at Vienna, they talked about love, parents, life... They had strong feelings towards each other, but they both knew, by sunrise, they have to go their separate ways.

I love the film, other than the fact that it is not a big budget film. It is shot beautifully, but not in an intimitating way. The conversations are smart and the characters are convincing and relatable.

Most importantly, the story, it feels like what I have just gone thru.

There are a few scenes I love, the best scene was in an old record store. When Jesse and Celine were trying a record in a small listening booth. They just met each other less than one hour ago, and they were checking each other out, but everytime when Jesse put his eyes on Celine everytime she looks away, he would have a smile on his face. Maybe thinking, "I could really fall for this woman". Celine would do the same, with the same smile, thinking, "I could really see myself with this man". However, they will avert their eyes just when the other person is turning around... very cute and very lovely...

There is also my favourite quote, Celine shared her thought in an anonymous back alley, she said,

"If there is any magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something... I know, it is almost impossible to succeed, but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt"

Finally, when they just had their first argument, they bumped into a poet, who will charged them a fee for writing a poem on any word they give him. Jesse and Celine decided on "Milkshakes"

"Daydream Delusion
Limousine Eyelash

Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wine glass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweetcakes and milk shakes

I am a delusion angel
I am a 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

Lodged in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current

I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me
Don't you know me by now?"

When they separated at the end of the film, they promised each other to meet again in six months at the same spot...
