Before Sunrise
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fuck my life
okay but jokes aside, i think im putting this in my top 4…. the fact that this film solely is built on the chemistry between 2 people (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) and is 95% dialogue, yet its soooooo enjoyable and captivating honestly just feels so unique, ive never seen a film like it.
im an absolute sucker for the 90s so that boosts my enjoyment too, 90s Ethan Hawke may be my spirit animal, and i may steal that haircut. Love is so important and so fascinating, with the right person everything works, you never need a plan, it just clicks. being able to talk endlessly with someone and never run out of things to say is such and underrated feeling/thing in general. maybe ive enjoyed this more due to my current situation, but im honestly so impressed.
beautifully shot even if most of the screen time is our two leads, their chemistry is just so off the charts. i needed this right now, even if it made me cry or miss things, this was special and i dont think i’ll forget this as a first watch ever. life changing and eye opening, once in a lifetime film. i really like the conversation between Jesse and Celine by the water, when they get the poem written for them, not just the poem being LOVELY but just the whole dynamic of the scene, including the talk about how conflict is important in a relationship. sometimes you’ll disagree and thats okay. the record store the restaurant the grass THE MORNING UGH WOW.
two hurt people finding eachother, by almost a miracle, just beautiful. against all the odds with so many variables. they make it work, even if just for the night. my emotions are all over the place, my heart hurts but is full of hope and wonder, i have endless things to say about this and i can relate so heavily… wow. “being with you has made me feel like i was somebody else…”
