"Sunset in Paris" (before sunset) seems to be the next episode of a movie called (before sunrise). The two episodes are nine years apart, and the hero and heroine of the movie will meet again after nine years; the movie is 80 minutes long, and the male and female leads have a frantic conversation in Paris for about 80 minutes; some newspapers reported that many of the dialogues between the two were exploding on the spot— - In short, you are not fully sure to distinguish the separation between inside and outside the screen.

"Day" is a set of films that are completely driven by dialogue. The most striking example of similar techniques to me may not be the example of movies. "Waiting for Godo" and "The Confusion of Orianna" are both in fixed scenes, and the two actors constantly exchange dialogue to create tension. The tension of "Day" is of course very different from the above-mentioned two sets of theater works. It does not intend to express absurdity, nor does it call the audience to take a stand. In a sense, "Day" is very similar to "Lost in Translation", both of which make the audience look forward to the occurrence of love and enjoy the regret of the fragrant teeth, but the two sets of films have the difference of life and death.

At the heart of both films is the untouchable and ultimate escape of love, but expressed in opposite structures. If the final message of "Miscellaneous" is that the male and female protagonists are always half a step apart before they can touch and find love, the premise of "Day" is to "miss" and "slip away". In "Sun", the two spent 14 hours of wonderful time together in Vienna nine years ago. They didn't write down any contact methods, but they reunited in the same place after half a year without thinking. Of course, this fantastic plan did not come true, and both of them had to rely on the memory of those fourteen hours to continue their lives. But it was the unfulfilled promise that the hero and heroine could retrospectively endow those fourteen hours with the highest concentration of passion and meaning in life. To put it more vulgarly, it made the two protagonists, the hero and the heroine, start their lives with numbness and detachment from the remorse they once had.

"Sun" and "Mission" seem to force us to admit that love cannot be approached - not only because we may always be only 0.01 centimeters away, but also because when we find that we have ever been close, we It has slipped away, and the depression and loss triggered by the fire makes people go farther and farther.

***

The ending of "Day" is that after the male protagonist listens to the song composed by the female protagonist, it doesn't matter if he can't catch a plane in time. After reading some comments, the ones I can't see the most are those who are all guessing "Which two people will really fall in love in the end?" From the scenes in the movie, the female characters are obviously much more charming than in the first episode, What's more evocative than leaving the answers to those questions blank? Omg.

    I saw this movie a long time ago, and when I saw them in a boat at dusk and said this to Notre Dame, I couldn't believe that Notre Dame would burn down one day. Then, this kind of thing actually happened.

    3.5. The creative thinking has undergone a major change: the biggest premise for the establishment of the previous work is that the two have never known each other. The one-day journey after the accidental encounter and impulsive acquaintance is sloppy and unknown, with no starting point and no end, so that the large paragraphs of dialogue are sufficient. Evolving from the shackles of the play into a pure and romantic character interaction. The characters of the sequel have inevitable frontiers and fetters, not only the function and development direction of the plot are clarified, but even the content of the dialogue has lost its original aura due to the enhancement of the narrative, not to mention the script is also in the urgency of time synchronization. Sense is the driving force in and out of the play, and the structure of the film is also disciplined. The biggest problem is that the charisma values ​​of the two leading actors have declined, so it is no longer possible to gather the thinking content that scatters wantonly in the context of the situation. It must be supplemented by the resonance of reality. Comparing the same in-car scenes in the two films, "Before Sunrise" is one shot to the end, but "Before Sunset" changes scenes many times; when Linklater needs to use more directing skills to maintain the mobility of a scene At that time, the weakening of the actor's vitality began quietly.

Before Sunset quotes

  • Celine: Even being alone it's better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.

  • Jesse: You know, I think that book that I wrote, in a way, was like building something. So that I wouldn't forget the... details of the time that we spent together. You know, like just a reminder that... that once we really did meet! You know, that this was real! That this happened!

    Celine: Celine: I'm happy you're saying that, because... I mean, I always feel like a freak, because I'm never able to move on like... this! You know. People just have an affair, or even entire relationships... they break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals! I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have... their own, specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss on the other person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things. Maybe I'm crazy, but... when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk, or... ants crossing the road, the way a leaf casts a shadow on a tree trunk... Little things. I think it's the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me, and that I miss, and... will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details. Like I remember the way, your beard has a bit of red in it. And how the sun was making it glow, that... that morning, right before you left. I remember that, and... I missed it! I'm really crazy, right?
