This movie and its sequel (before sunset) are suitable for 23+ people to watch, romantic encounters, dialogues between the sexes, crazy love, innocent promises, lonely misses, infinite possibilities, let the audience and the protagonist fall into one The nine years of emotional ups and downs in the field are inextricable. During the two limited gatherings before and after, the man and the woman kept listening and talking. Nine years ago, the two talked about their longing for love and self-righteousness. They left contact information for each other, but they 'lost contact' with disdain since then, so the two boldly did not leave any contact information, but hurriedly agreed to meet on the platform 6 months later when the train was about to leave. This is the life of a young lover, unconventional, but reckless, as expected, the woman was unable to go to that six-month date due to a change at home. The man couldn't find a beautiful woman on the platform in December, so he left in anger. They were in New York, but they couldn't see each other; they were in Paris, but only had a moment to continue their conversation before he got on the plane. Their conversations began to talk about careers and the fleeting time. Love is no longer self-righteous, but seizes all possibilities. On the Seine, they finally found out that true love in life is rare. If, if, on December 16, nine years ago, something different could have happened, perhaps, their fortunes would have been different. When the protagonist plays the song written for the male protagonist, the smile on the corner of the male protagonist's mouth can explain everything. He will miss the flight, he will stay, and he will give this nine-year love story a perfect ending. The ending is still perfectionism, like the opening where the heroine jumps off the train for an invitation from a strange man. However, that is very real romance.

Also, this movie is a good European travel guide, with the long alleys and music of Vienna in the previous one and the trees and rivers of Paris in the next. It's not just a love story, it's a growth story.

    I don’t feel much about this kind of film that has no drama conflicts and is supported purely by talking about literature, art and philosophy. But it’s very romantic to call face to face and pretend that the other person is someone else.

    This is the best love in my memory, Vienna, encounter, acquaintance, chat, understand, kiss, play, disagree, talk, drink, bid farewell, and look forward to the next meeting.

Before Sunrise quotes

  • Celine: Did your parents divorce?

    Jesse: Yeah. Finally. They should have done it a lot sooner, but they stuck together for a while for the "well-being of my sister and I", thank you very much.

  • Celine: You know, I've been wondering lately. Do you know anyone who's in a happy relationship?

    Jesse: Uh, yeah, sure. I know happy couples. But I think they lie to each other.

    Celine: Hmf. Yeah. People can lead their life as a lie. My grandmother, she was married to this man, and I always thought she had a very simple, uncomplicated love life. But she just confessed to me that she spent her whole life dreaming about another man she was always in love with. She just accepted her fate. It's so sad.

    Jesse: I guarantee you, it was better that way. If she'd ever got to know him, I'm sure he would have disappointed her eventually.

    Celine: How do you know? You don't know them.

    Jesse: Yeah, I know, I know. It's just, people have these romantic projections they put on everything. That's not based on any kind of reality.
