You don't know how happy it makes me to find fellow Before Sunrise/Sunset fans... I swear there are not many in my friends base (no matter how hard I try and force-feed it to them... sigh!). I am not going to dissect or comment on your notes on the movie because there is no point, except to say that you have struck a chord in me with this post. Oh, and your post makes sense to me, maybe not all of it as I don't know all of you but I totally felt these words! Sorry I am babbling I am so excited for some strange reason. I just went through mgeek's archives and found a post on Before Sunrise and earlier today I was talking to a friend about an ex and Before Sunset came to mind and now your blog post - is the universe trying to tell me I should go watch the movies again or what? :)<br /><br />One of my favourite quotes from the movie that keeps coming back to me time and time again because (like another blogging friend of mine said), it feels like it is me talking:<br /><br />People just have an affair or even a relationship, they break up and they forget, they move on like they would have changed brands of cereals. I feel I was never able to really forget anyone I’ve been with, because each person has their own specific qualities, and you can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never really recover. That is why I’m very careful with getting involved, because it hurts me too much… or even getting laid – actually, I don’t do that. I will miss of the person the most mundane things. Like I’m obsessed with little things. Maybe I’m crazy. When I was a little girl my mom told me I was always late to school, so one day she followed me to see why I was late. I was looking at… chestnuts falling from the trees and rolling down the sidewalk or ants crossing the road, the way a leaf cast a shadow on a tree trunk – little things. It is the same with people. I see in them little details so specific to each of them that move me, that I miss and will always miss. You can never replace anyone because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details.<br /><br />Ah. Beautiful!--Sunrise--https://www.blogger.com/profile/10612586355249296658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-29906658687223344842010-06-28T20:07:07.542+05:302010-06-28T20:07:07.542+05:30Leo!

I love the way you say how you loved the second movie precisely becoz it was more cynical and still found a way to be honest abt it, without airbrushing reality, right? And hope! Absolutely! :) And thanks! :)Tangled up in blue...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863311350462955038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-60105899019669236642010-06-28T20:01:55.109+05:302010-06-28T20:01:55.109+05:30SMMT, I sooo get! :D Celine is very lovely and rea...SMMT, I sooo get! :D Celine is very lovely and real and pretty and smart and all that..but you know whats really awesome about her? That she's not perfectly likable and still we like her and root for her! And that is all Julie Delpy's talent! Haha, and I get that bit abt being dumbstruck, too..I wrote a big rambling post that I saved to drafts which I trimmed mightily so that it made some semblance of sense! There were that many thoughts in my head! :DTangled up in blue...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863311350462955038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-33112835455187011492010-06-28T19:58:39.300+05:302010-06-28T19:58:39.300+05:30T., :) I agree..they are definitely among the very...T., :) I agree..they are definitely among the very best romantic films ever made. I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one such recent film which again depicts a very real relationship without letting sci-fi get the best of it. Unfortunately, I cant think of any more. Any reccos?<br /><br />And btw, that was totally Isha who was crushing on Ethan Hawke in Daybreakers (which is again an awesome film I thought)..I do not get off on vampires of any variety :P But I do think Hawke looks very cute in Dead Poets' Society in that dork way of his. And Gattaca, too..I just realised Hawke makes nice movies!Tangled up in blue...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09863311350462955038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-164366915260896882010-06-27T23:07:40.843+05:302010-06-27T23:07:40.843+05:30I watched the two movies a couple of months back. ...I watched the two movies a couple of months back.

I liked the second movie better cuz i guess it was less idealistic and more cynical and jaded, which generally does happen as time and relationships pass you by.Yet it found a way to have honest conversations, and even show that real romance or love might just be possible. Hope =)<br />Anyway, I've been rambling. I love the dialogue you put in. That and the song.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250470160648523347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-69778808743525106482010-06-21T13:42:53.538+05:302010-06-21T13:42:53.538+05:30Lovely movie. That scene you've mentioned... i...Lovely movie. That scene you've mentioned... in the listening booth.. is so well enacted! The tension between them is hauntingly tangible. In fact, the entire movie has so many events, things, thoughts, feelings, conversations which feel absolutely real. Make me go, 'yes! this is soo true!' Really romantic and Celine is very beautiful and attractive in being smart and real - normal, simple, pretty. Made me feel like jumping in and taking Jesse's place. :P Though, yes, the ending and what happens later is a sad. Maybe? Nevertheless, the desire to experience something as perfect as their romantic night, even for only a night, overshadows any fear about the gloominess and pain in the end, and makes me still want to replace Jesse. :)<br />Lovely dialogue to end your post. I couldn't find anything to begin with. I saw the movie and wanted to write something on my blog but couldn't. Kind of like dumbstruck. Ended up writing just a title with nothing in the post. :PShe makes me think.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01645732717419259247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182834356067511059.post-18952969156161561872010-06-20T21:56:59.454+05:302010-06-20T21:56:59.454+05:30:-)
