Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
cheryllawrence-41883 Before Sunset is the sequel to the incredibly touching film Before Sunrise and this one is no lesser in either content or execution. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy return as Jessie and Celine, only older and wiser. It is hard to believe that the time spent between the two films(a decade I think) has no impact on the actors as their chemistry is as good(if not better) than in Before Sunrise. Richard Linklater is an auteur and this is a great example of a great movie by a director given full reins.
alxunderkouts ...Another masterpiece from Richard Linklater.I recently learned that the first movie (before sunrise) was made by him because he wanted to find a girl that he had met and spent a night like that of the movie.He believed that if the girl would have seen the movie she could have tried to contact with him.In before sunset, he parallels his action of doing this film with the action of Jesse to write a book about the night with Celine, in order to find her...In this movie, indeed Jesse and Celine meet again each other, but this time they have continued their lives.Celine realizes that when we are young we believe that we will have the chance ,plenty of times, to connect with people, but in reality it only happens a few times.That in my opinion is the main message of this film.The biggest mistake that we can do, is to say that we will find another one in the future...NOOO, THIS IS THE TIME, THIS IS THE ONE!!! Another and last point that I would like to emphasize is when Celine says that many couples think that after a few years of living together, they would be in the same state of excitement,in the same passion and the consuming desire to be the same than in the beginning.And continues that this is impossible, because they would have ended up doing nothing at all with their lives, because of the constant heartbeat and desire for sex.Young couples must understand that this is natural and not lack of love.But, of course,in Jesse's situation there is also another important factor for his unhappiness, Celine!!And now fits perfectly the first observation that I made,THIS IS THE TIME, THIS IS THE ONE!!
ze_pedro-15708 This is like the 3rd movie of Richard Linklater I've watched and I'm quickly falling in love with his director skills. I've stared with the heavy Waking Life and saw Everybody wants ome a few month ago and they're totally different. This one, has a mix of the thins I'm loving about Linklater, which are the philosophical and emotional ride but perfect pitched dialogues that can get you hooked to the screen. It describes these 2 characters in such a highway but you can catch the details on the way too. It's almost like a bipolar case, in which you see maniac states and the lows of the depression too. Overall, it's a romantic movie without trying too hard to be. Good performance, with innocence-independent female protagonist, good dialogues and is not long, but nearly perfect timed like a quicky climax.
gibsonsarah-07857 When I watched this film I had no idea about its first part. This was probably the first movie I felt in love with and also the one I've watched the most times. Then I was informed about the first part and watch it also but I think the second part is still the best, not even mentioning the third one.This second part is basically the conversation between two characters. The man and the women are talking about bunch of different things which are happening in their life but there conversations are really meaningful and interesting.So, that's a love story. Very beautiful love story and very unique. The movie is full of beautiful scenes and moments you will love and rest like everything acting, directing, sounds, music, script and all rest are simply beautiful! You want regret watching this film.
