Lovers go to both ends.

The order of watching the film was reversed. I watched them nine years later, "Love at Sunset and Dusk".

The rhythm at the beginning of the movie is a bit baffling to me. New book launch, sharp questions, a long-awaited reunion of a woman.

Nine years is really not a short time. Nine years later, he got married, had a four-year-old child, and his wife was an elementary school teacher. He wrote a new book and traveled to 12 cities in 10 days to promote the new book. He's been outspoken, and the reason he wrote the book, in a sense, was to find you.

Nine years later, she was working for environmental groups, writing songs about people, and had a photographer boyfriend by her side.

He wrote a book to record the details of getting along to remind himself that we did meet once, it was real, it happened.

She still remembered how the sun had gleamed the redness of his beard the morning he left.

In the initial stage of life, the budding sense of upward will make us firmly believe that the world is so big, we will meet tens of thousands of people, there will be many beautiful and unforgettable memories, and we will meet the fate that is absolutely necessary for you.

However, life is always quietly rewritten by some unpredictable and uncontrollable elements, and each tiny deviation is finally superimposed into a powerful and unshakable ending, which is called fate.

"I've been thinking about you for the months leading up to my wedding. I mean, even on my way there, I'm in the car, some friends drop me off into town, and I look out the window , and then I thought I saw you, not far from the church, huh? Open an umbrella and walk to a deli on the corner of 13th and Broadway. I think I'm going crazy, but now I think it might be you "

In countless possible moments, we wish there was an invisible hand that would push the car gently, make him turn around, make her miss the flight, make him get on the phone, and make her not move.

In the pen of a few meters, two people who are accustomed to walking to the left and to the right finally meet on the flower bed in the park, but how many circles has life drawn for us for the reunion of two hearts?

I like the nuanced sense of dialogue that the film is full of, you say every word, and there are almost no gaps. In the dialogue, there is a mutual affection and understanding of love and life. The sense of helplessness and powerlessness exuded in the film is also about everyone, facing the sadness that they can see in the past.

Some people are only suitable for chance encounters, on street corners, in alleys, and during travel. Destiny arranges hard to let those who love each other go to both ends. It is probably the hope that people can embrace their sighs and regrets and face their true self and life.

Before Sunset quotes

  • Celine: Even being alone it's better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.

  • Jesse: You know, I think that book that I wrote, in a way, was like building something. So that I wouldn't forget the... details of the time that we spent together. You know, like just a reminder that... that once we really did meet! You know, that this was real! That this happened!

    Celine: Celine: I'm happy you're saying that, because... I mean, I always feel like a freak, because I'm never able to move on like... this! You know. People just have an affair, or even entire relationships... they break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals! I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have... their own, specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss on the other person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things. Maybe I'm crazy, but... when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk, or... ants crossing the road, the way a leaf casts a shadow on a tree trunk... Little things. I think it's the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me, and that I miss, and... will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details. Like I remember the way, your beard has a bit of red in it. And how the sun was making it glow, that... that morning, right before you left. I remember that, and... I missed it! I'm really crazy, right?
