i finally manged to catch the i-think-it-will-become-a-cult movie Before Sunset. yeah, the one with uma thurman's ex and the sexy julie delpy.
Before Sunrise was not as wow as i'd thought it would be. my post-mortem of watching that flick was feeling that somehow its popular sequel had upped the ante so much so that i who had not caught the lesser-known prequel thought that the first offering would be a kick-ass movie as well, if not better. in a nutshell, just stick to watching the sequel lah. you don't miss out on anything.
i think you might be a bit confused about the sunrises and sunsets. but i shan't care.
i watched the two movies in order, that is, the first one where they met and hung out in Vienna and promised to meet after six months (there, i've just given you the gist of the story), followed by their not-so-chance encounter in France ten years later.
funny, all they do is to talk and walk around town a bit and audiences can be so captivated, myself included. does jesse (ethan hawke) really miss his flight at the end of Before Sunset? i hope so. we're all dying to find out but having a After Sunrise would be overkill definitely.
the best part of Before Sunset for me would have to be celine (julie delpy) playing A Waltz for a Night. if she was accurately portraying what french people do to romance their partners, then, hell, no wonder the french have the highest sex frequency in the world. everything they do is for one reason only - to get bonked.
haha. sorry that was a bit crude. i have to go off now, i'm just about late by 40 minutes. oops.
"... but what does it mean 'The Right Man'? The love of your life? The concept is absurd! The idea that we can only be complete with another person is evil, right?"

before sunset is just alot of lovey dovey talking i heard, no?
lovey dovey? haha, hmmm, well they quarrel a bit. then they talk, smoke and bit.
oh i'm a girl, i like these things. :)
Actually, I think the audience is captivated and listening hard because if they don't listen, they won't know half the story. For all you know, the entire theater was filled with people who were watching it the 2nd time.
Another way how the pros make their movies to be sellouts: make a 'cheem' movie then create lots of hype. The suckers have to watch movies twice cos they just don't get it on the first try.
i heard they talk alot. like the whole movie is just them talking.
