Before Sunrise is a romantic encounter between a man and a woman in a foreign country, full of romance and testing various offensive and defensive rituals between men and women. Weekend is the friendship between two gay men who are stuck in their own predicaments after a one-night stand. The former dialogues are all sweet words, while the latter is a lot of real chat and inner confession. Sometimes I feel like Weekend is the opposite of Before Sunrise.
For example, there is a very gay-oriented sensuality, or anxiety about gay identity and life, or the unbelievable love and commitment that separates the two. All kinds of details describe the emotional relationship of the non-mainstream heterosexual model. This is not a love myth to create love at first sight, but more of a true confession of being gay.
There are a lot of drugs, alcohol, and sex in the movie. Under these catalysis, they finally have intimate whispers on the pillow between the two, pointing directly to the loneliest knot in their hearts. It can be seen that the perspective of the director is an attempt to combine realism and life. In the context of the transformation, pull out a certain pure emotion, very independent film style.
Of course, it is not to say that the two films are better and who are not, but they have different development directions under different themes and styles, and they are not very comparable to each other in the end.
