Closer to home, then I went to the place where the before sunset was shot - almost all the places, and suddenly I found the prequel by feeling, which is before sunrise. This is like a daigo empowerment, and it suddenly becomes smooth.
These two frustrated writers and peace organization volunteers 9 years later, 9 years ago were just a reckless American tourist and a French girl in the same car. When they met each other, they were just on a bad journey in their lives- -either life or journal itself-- After getting to know each other by mistake, they decided to go to the nearest unfamiliar city to spend a boring afternoon and evening together, making an appointment that they would part ways the next morning.
Dialogue, the whole movie is nothing but dialogue or dialogue. It's just, unbelievable, that the voices of two similar souls come from different bodies. Abandoning gender, nationality, and different experiences, they are two fruits on the same tree. From the initial temptation, to the removal of the specific background, the removal of the gossip of specific characters, to the small disputes, to the blending of water and milk. Who says they only have one night (for one night), this is clearly two people who have experienced half their lives together. It was like, they have seen through the shape of other's body, they have been exchanging their soul. At the end of the dialogue, the movie ends, the two travelers who have traveled with each other say goodbye.
The last shot is my favorite part. The sun shines on the playground where they play, the streets where they talk, the sky bridge where they hold hands, the open square where they drink tea, and the window of the hut where they dance. Nothing seems to have changed, but nothing seems to be different. Sometimes, the most important day in life comes and goes so easily. The geese flew by without a trace, but everything was different.
Later, I found the script of the film and tried to understand why these plain wordings allowed me to read it without omission, sitting in front of the sofa with my eyes, nose, nose and heart. Indeed, I was in this state of mind when hearing most of the conversation: oh, what she/he saying is so...cute, damn why i haven't thought of that before she/he said so.. .oh, again... After watching such a play, my palms turned out to be hot, because I was excited. . .
The following are some extracts to relieve the cravings of fellow lovers.
1.
Jesse: ...I mean, if you had an island, right, and there were 99 women on the island, and only one man, in a year, you'd have the possibility of 99 babies. But if you have an island with 99 men, and only one woman, in a year, you'd have the possibility of only one baby. So...
Céline: So. You know what?
Jesse: What?
Céline: On this island, y'know, I think that there will only be, like, maybe 43 men left. Because they would kill each other, trying to fuck this poor woman, you know what I mean? And on the other island , there would be 99 women, 99 babies, and no more man, because they would have all gotten together, and eaten him alive.
Jesse: Oh yeah?
Céline: Yeah.
2.
Jesse: This friend of mine had a kid, and it was a home birth, so he was there helping out and everything. And he said at that profound moment of birth, uh, he was watching this child, experiencing life for the first time , I mean, trying to take its first breath... all he could think about was that he was looking at something that was gonna die someday. He just couldn't get it out of his head. And I think that's so true, I mean, all-- everything is so finite. I mean, but, but don't you think that that's what, um, makes our time, at specific moments, so important?
Céline: Yeah, I know. It's the same for us, tonight, though. After tomorrow morning, we're probably never going to see each other again, right?
Jesse: You don't think we'll ever see each other again?
Céline: What do you think?
Jesse: Well, um, gosh, I don't know.
Céline: Now let's just be rational adults about this. We, maybe we should try something different. I mean, its no so bad if tonight is our only night, right? People always exchange phone numbers, addresses, they end up writing once, calling each other once or twice...
Jesse: Right. Fizzles out. Yeah, I mean, I don't want that. I hate that.
Céline: I hate that too, y'know.
Jesse: Why do you think everybody thinks relationships are supposed to last forever?
Céline: Yeah, why. It's stupid.
Jesse: So, you think tonight's it, huh? I mean, that, tonight's our only night.
Céline: Its the only way, no?
Jesse: Well, alright. Let's do it. No delusions, no projections. We'll just make tonight great.
Céline: Okay, let's do that.
Jesse: Okay.

Céline: I met an American in the car, we had a good chat, and we got out of the car together. He's so cute, I can't help it. In the luxury car, he started talking about seeing the soul of his grandmother when he was a child. I think that's when I fell in love with him. There was a thought, for this little boy with a beautiful dream.
4.
Jesse: I had a dream. ...dream that I was standing on the platform,...and you kept passing by by train...you just kept passing, passing, passing. Then I woke up in a cold sweat, and then I had another dream... dreaming that you were pregnant, lying next to me in bed, naked... and I wanted very, very much to touch you , but you tell me no, and then you put your head away. And then I...I still touched you...touched your ankle, your skin was so soft it made me cry. .
5.
Jesse: Omg, why didn't we exchange phone numbers?
Céline: Why? Because then we were too young and immature?
Jesse: Do you think we're still doing this?
Céline: I think when you're young, you believe...you know a lot of people. But then you find out that there are very few people you can communicate with. Jesse
: Besides, you can't guarantee to get along with them, so, lost contact with them
.
believe it? Everything is doomed?
Céline: Well, you see, the world may not be as varied as we think.
Jesse: Is it?
Céline: If given certain conditions, the same result will always happen. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, you always get water
