Before Sunrise is a romantic movie. Relatively speaking, the sequel "Before Sunset" is more real, but Zhou Qiao thinks it is "fake", and I don't think so. I like that in this movie, the weight of the past years is lightly lifted, and the hero and heroine talk freely, because of the fate of the past, but it is beyond this. When two people who once had a romantic encounter met again ten years later, the old spark did not burst out: the spark that once became a candle burning in the hearts of the two people, but it will no longer become the dominance of life. Therefore, Céline will say in the movie that the encounter ten years ago has spent the romance of her life. But here's the question: Is it good to be as romantic in ten years as it was ten years ago?
For two young people, a romance ten years ago was a good thing; for two people who are approaching middle age ten years later, casually walking, chatting and joking in the streets of Paris seems to be enough. They don't need to feel that romantic or near-romantic feeling with each other anymore. Feelings are still there, but in a different way.
The first time they watched Before Sunset, the two returned to Céline's place, and Jesse insisted that she sing a song she wrote for him. So Jesse accidentally picked the waltz that was written to him. By this time my heart had begun to tense, and I had a premonition that something was about to happen. The so-called "what" is undoubtedly the "dry firewood" of the two. But, unfortunately and fortunately, I fell short. I was romantically expecting the two to rekindle an old relationship, but the movie came to a screeching halt at that point, and I was literally blown away. No sex, no so-called confession. Only then did I really understand the weight that such an ending entails, so lightly, and accompanied by a supreme moral light. This isn't a suspenseful ending to make us wonder if they did or didn't in the end. The answer is already pretty obvious: the two spend their final moments together, and Jesse says goodbye, gets into the driver's car, runs to the airport, boarded the plane, and returns to his life. Céline, on the other hand, went downstairs to enjoy their potluck with the neighbors. That's all.
Once again immersed in the atmosphere created by the movie, after I understand the weight of such an ending, I look at the question mentioned earlier, and the answer is self-evident: Ten years later, it must be as romantic as ten years ago. , is it good? Not so.
After watching it this time, I suddenly wanted to find the route they walked during the filming on Google Maps to make a picture, and the result was of course beyond my expectations: in fact, in the eyes of the viewers, the two people walking continuously, in different ways. The places were shot separately. No examples are given.
