the truth of love

Ethan Hawke was a little too thin, not pretty, and weather-beaten, so he played this before sunset nine years later.

One-night stands have now become commonplace, and betting on the deepest emotions of a one-night stand partner is an absolute idiot. But this kind of emotional cognition is actually beneficial to protect one's thin love. The problems that two people will only find after getting along for a long time, such as the male pig in the film lamenting the torment of his wife's indifference, or the female pig in the film angrily scolding his lover Disappointment at not keeping promises, these little bits of love in life sound trivial and tingling, but in fact this is the truth of love.

This reminds me of Haruki Murakami's meeting with a 100% girl. The two young people decided to separate at the moment of their first encounter, trying to use the re-encounter to prove the purity and fate of their love. This event seems to have completely missed them, but I think this is the right thing to do. Only when you give up the mask of love before it falls off, can you see its ugly true face less quickly.

Throughout the film, these two middle-aged people keep chatting, they talk about global warming, joke about lonely monks giving blowjobs to handsome guys, talk about past memories and present disappointments, and talk about life in their own eyes. The meaning and the trajectory of fate in the mouths of others, two people who have been torn apart by life soon, other than constantly expressing themselves to each other, it seems that there are not many ways to make themselves in front of this stranger who has only met twice. , perform better.

But the end of the film still moved me. The unfeeling actress followed the steps of an elegant singer on the stage and said, "Sir, you are about to miss your plane."

Hawk nodded and smiled, yes, I know.

They have always known that they have been missing, but they have retained the most beautiful face of love.

    This director is so awesome. I like the lines that the three of them wrote in unison.

Before Sunset quotes

  • Celine: [Celine's song] Let me sing you a waltz / Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts / Let me sing you a waltz / About this one night stand / You were, for me, that night / Everything I always dreamt of in life / But now you're gone / You are far gone / All the way to your island of rain / It was for you just a one night thing / But you were much more to me, just so you know / I don't care what they say / I know what you meant for me that day / I just want another try, I just want another night / Even if it doesn't seem quite right / You meant for me much more than anyone I've met before / One single night with you, little Jesse, is worth a thousand with anybody / I have no bitterness, my sweet / I'll never forget this one night thing / Even tomorrow in other arms, my heart will stay yours until I die / Let me sing you a waltz / Out of nowhere, out of my blues / Let me sing you a waltz / About this lovely one night stand

    Journalist #1: Do you consider the book to be autobiographical?

    Jesse: Uh, well, I mean... isn't everything autobiographical?
