Before Sunrise

This movie is so goddamn lovely. It’s not full of the banal, roll-your-eyes moments between two people falling in love that you see in most romances — there’s a naturalness in the way Jesse and Céline interact. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve probably said half of the quirky, pseudo-intellectual lines he used on her at some point in my life? “If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know — it's almost impossible to succeed, but who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.” 🥺
