Ten years later, you are still you

10 years later, the director made this film again. It's amazing, just like the plot in the show, it really took them ten years to reunite.

The traces of the years are not indistinguishable. The man was noticeably more mature, with wrinkles between his brows. The woman looks thin, her hair is not draped, but up. The gentle contours of the past have been sharpened by time into their present appearance. Still beautiful, after seeing. After putting down their hair and being gently blown by the breeze, I felt like they were back in the past. The previous 6-month appointment, just because of a funeral, let it go. During the period, the two used to live in the same city, maybe they once walked into the same store and saw the same scene, but they didn't meet each other.

If we met at that time, maybe it would be a different scene now? They are having this conversation. I think it's amazing that the night we spent together 10 years ago has become a very precious memory in each other's lives. But for them, the night they remembered might be different?

Most importantly, at a certain moment, he turned his head and saw that she was standing there well, smiling at him. The two then resumed their 10-year conversation in the middle, which was amazing. It seems that the intervening 10 years is just a moment. They greeted each other, talked about everything, and ended up with the current state of life. It seems that these two are together, as if the energy has gathered to a point, a thousand words can only be said as soon as possible. Every time, it's been a night, this time they're only a few hours away.

There is one sentence that is impressive. JULIE said that when he was young, he thought he would meet many good people and have a lot of passionate moments, but only later found out that there were almost none. So, being able to seize that moment and own that night is very important.

And gossip with my friends, only to realize that the repeated script was written by Hawke and Julie together. In reality, there have been many changes in their ten years. The most talked about is probably the ending of Hawke and Uma who fell in love at first sight in the elevator, but had no choice but to divorce later. A little curious about Hawke, two women I know like him.

I also admire the director. In the past ten years, has there been a lot of changes for him? But at least, this film 10 years later still inherits the temperament of the previous work, and it is indeed a strong man.

    3.5. The creative thinking has undergone a major change: the biggest premise for the establishment of the previous work is that the two have never known each other. The one-day journey after the accidental encounter and impulsive acquaintance is sloppy and unknown, with no starting point and no end, so that the large paragraphs of dialogue are sufficient. Evolving from the shackles of the play into a pure and romantic character interaction. The characters of the sequel have inevitable frontiers and fetters, not only the function and development direction of the plot are clarified, but even the content of the dialogue has lost its original aura due to the enhancement of the narrative, not to mention the script is also in the urgency of time synchronization. Sense is the driving force in and out of the play, and the structure of the film is also disciplined. The biggest problem is that the charisma values ​​of the two leading actors have declined, so it is no longer possible to gather the thinking content that scatters wantonly in the context of the situation. It must be supplemented by the resonance of reality. Comparing the same in-car scenes in the two films, "Before Sunrise" is one shot to the end, but "Before Sunset" changes scenes many times; when Linklater needs to use more directing skills to maintain the mobility of a scene At that time, the weakening of the actor's vitality began quietly.
