The residual warmth left, just like this autumn evening.

There is no reason to like a movie just like a person. The more you like it, the less you can tell why you like it, but you are excited to announce your liking to the world. Like this Before Sunset. When I watched it for the first time, I was very excited. I recommended it to my friends like I found a treasure. I searched for relevant background information on the Internet, and read a lot of other people's film reviews. When I was about to write, I found that I also wrote a word. I couldn't come out, so I put it down and watched it a second time. I saw the same episode and still shed the same tears, but there was a new feeling. I still want to say how much I like it, but I still can't write a word. When I mention this movie today after so many weeks, I have almost forgotten the initial excitement after watching the movie, and the residual warmth left is just like this autumn evening.

In our imagination, this movie was shot in this season. The autumn sun at four o'clock in the afternoon, the obliquely elongated figure, and the leaves occasionally drifting across the streets of Paris. The camera follows the two old friends who have been separated for nine years and slowly progresses. From the brief embarrassment of the reunion after a long absence, to a little bit of elaboration, to a hysterical emotional outburst, and then everything returns to calm, and finally a hopeful ending comes to an abrupt end, which is unforgettable.

The heroine was inconspicuous at first, with a ponytail and a gray coat. When she was seated in the cafe, she untied her ponytail when she asked if she had changed, and I couldn't help but light up off the screen. This is the beauty of French beauty. It's strange that watching this movie didn't pay much attention to the male lead. Although there are only two people talking in this movie. They take seats in Parisian street cafes, they walk through Parisian neighborhoods, they board yachts on the Seine. And every time I watch this movie, I always start to cry in this place. Talking about past feelings on the bow of the yacht, she said that she wondered why some people are so easy to forget, but she remembers the details of every old boyfriend. She always pays attention to some trivial things, and allows these trivial things The sadness piled up, and it became more and more difficult to love easily. Every time I watch her say these words from the bow, I will cry in distress. Also liked that emotional outburst in the car, she said why every man married other women after leaving her, and then called her to thank her for showing them true love. Why hasn't anyone asked her if she wants to get married? It turns out that the feelings of hate marriage are the same. But I believe it was just an emotional outburst, not a complaint. After watching it twice, I fell in love with the imitation show after returning home. At this time, she was completely relaxed, just like in front of a long-time friend, the warmth slowly revealed with the music. . .

"Baby, you are gonna miss that plane."
"I know."

    "I don't want to be the kind of person who got divorced at 52... in tears, admitting that I've never loved my partner...feeling like my life is completely vacuumed Walking the same way, it's empty." The meeting after many years, accompanied by memories, carefully tested and devious expressions. It's beautiful.

    I really liked this one, especially the sentence. When I was young, I thought I would meet a lot of people, but I found out that there are very few people who can really connect with you. The dialogue between the male and female protagonists is almost a replica of the mood of my friends and I. I can't believe that these two men and women who are so far away from me are actually in the same mood and confusion as me. People's tired and depressing responsibilities and marriage, life seems destined to become a piece of shit, but you still don't give up. The memories of youth are so beautiful but also tingling, always reminding you of what you have lost, those vitality and the strong desire to love infinitely in the future

Before Sunset quotes

  • Celine: The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil! Right?

  • Celine: You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.
