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."

    The sequel after nine years is not bad!

    I like the second part so much, the male protagonist has become calm and wise, the female protagonist is cute without losing aura and elegance, the dialogue between the two is no nonsense, especially the part of the female protagonist in the car where the emotional breakdown is too real.

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?
