About distance

Love how people go from strangers to intimacy, with different chemistry between people. Some people need years or even a lifetime; some people only need ten minutes between each other.

When I hear Celine explain to Jesse the definition of distance on the bench, I think her answer is that it doesn't take much time to fall in love with someone, a 15-minute conversation on a train, or a little boy who saw in a rainbow as a child The little story of the dead grandmother's figure is enough to move her.

When they got off the train, Jesse's reasoning was "I feel like there's some kind of connection between us." Strangers are sometimes far apart, but Jesse and Celine are naturally magnetically close. Magnetic fields are the beginning of intimacy.

But when they got off the train and walked together on the streets of Vienna, there was still a distance in their hearts, and they had zero understanding of each other's past, so there was a question-and-answer game on the back seat of the tram.

I prefer the heroine's interpretation of the distance on the bench, "Many times the distance is only a little bit, and someone will always take the initiative to break it, as long as you remain sincere." However, it seems that the hero and heroine are not really sincere to each other until the train At the moment of separation, he revealed his desire to meet again. It was too late, too romantic, there was no way of meeting with a phone number and home address, and their love only became a reality in Vienna that night.

The long shot at the end of the film is intoxicating, from the train, to the fountain, the benches, the riverside, the outdoor cafe, the star-gazing lawn and the Ferris wheel of the playground. . . The scenes that once left a deep memory are unique because the hero and heroine set foot on different trains and planes to Paris and New York. The scene is the same, but people have already embarked on a journey.

Some moments in life are always more important than others. For example, Celine and Jesse who were in these places at these moments, they once broke through the distance in their hearts and changed from strangeness to closeness. So when they were lying on the lawn looking at the stars, Celine said, "Maybe you can't understand how important this moment is to me, but it's really important." After

all, in love, you need to find someone who can understand your feelings, and Or the person who doesn't understand enough, but is willing to try his best to understand. (off topic)

Before Sunrise quotes

  • Jesse: Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes it feels really close. But then other times it seems silly like it would ruin my whole life. And it's not just a fear of commitment or that I'm incapable of caring or loving because... I can. It's just that, if I'm totally honest with myself I think I'd rather die knowing that I was really good at something. That I had excelled in some way than that I'd just been in a nice, caring relationship.

  • Celine: I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.
