Before Sunset

I saw Before Sunset.

I must say, it simply took my breathe away.

As the movie starts, I find myself catching my breathe and waiting fervently to every word uttered by Jesse (Ethan Hawke) as he talks about his book which narrates the experience he had with the beautiful french girl in Vienna 9 years ago. The movie simply took me away as Jesse saw Celine (Julie Deply) from the background and everything was simply beautiful as they started to walk and converse, laugh and go crazy in the whole length of the movie.

This movie is not for everyone. So it is a love story. But not your conventional type of boy sweeping girl off her feet and a happy ending. Remember, this is a sequel of Before Sunrise.
It is either you love the movie or you hate it. Whichever signifies the type of a moviegoer (or even a person) you are.

Before Sunrise was on of those few films that hits me to the core. But this one, Before Sunset, is just one memorable film. Maybe the reason is the simplicity of the movie and how it narrates life and love is as simple as just having two souls walking and talking, about things that may be trivial or things that are intense and thought pondering.

I simply love it when the two leads would just talk and talk and talk then for a while stop and just feel the exicitng silence between them. And it doesnt make them uncomfortable but rather the existence of silence was the bind that tied their souls together which lasted for 9 years until they met again in Paris.

Hmm ... maybe when we're younger we think that we have a full lifetime ahead to meet other people that could replace the ones we have met in the past . But as we grow older, we realise that there are only few ones who can really make our lives change.

I wonder now the people whom I have met by chance along the way.

later.
