Wonderful Movie
Simply Perfect
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I'd both read and heard some really positive reviews of Before Sunrise and was looking forward to it. In large part I also feel there are some special elements to this film - the idea of meeting and being captivated by a stranger on a train and spending one magical, impactful night together, some really thoughtful and interesting dialogue, and an honesty of expression between the two main characters, all good and appreciated. However, I do have one major issue with this film, that it didn't know when to end. Unlike the two lead characters who at the films conclusion know not to force anything or attempt to take things too far, the director unfortunately extend things beyond their natural reaches to the film detriment. I sincerely think that with some prudent editing down this film could have been much stronger. I'm happy for those reviewers that were touched by this film and hold it in such high regard, sadly I am not one of them.
That's how to write a very smart and sophisticated dialogue for such a simple story.I loved the way the conversations are so realistic because they don't seem to connect to each other and that's exactly what we do when we move from a topic to another. The dialogue is thought-provoking and very very entertaining.Of course, without the compelling performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy I wouldn't relate to their characters as much as I did.Before Sunrise proves that Richard Linklater is actually superior to Woody Allen even at his best.I wish if I could be convinced how they get to know each other that fast or how they keep talking to each other all the day long just a little more than I did.Undeniably, Before Sunrise is one of the best romantic films of all time. (9/10)
Actually, it is one of the best days that anyone can live in the magical city "Vienna".
Imagine walking Paris at the middle of the night, getting lost in unknown routes, under the shimmering city lights. A whole new city to explore and a person to walk around with. Fall in love with Paris and the idea of failing love with a complete stranger with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, talking about nothing and everything, as they take you to a whole new world.The conversations they share are interesting and intellectual. Without a definite story, this movie just moves alone like a time episode. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended.
