Before Sunrise

Movies can be fascinating in their simplicity sometimes, and for me, this is the prime example. Almost 2 hours of 2 characters simply talking to each other, sounds incredibly boring in hand sight to be a passive viewer, yet Richard Linklater was able to completely immerse me in this simple interaction, not a story even, but just an encounter, one that could reshape these two for life even if they never met again. I feel as though Jesse and Celine essentially went through the entire arc of a relationship in just one night, and this tells such a beautiful message about the fleeting nature of experiences, relationships, and life in general
