Before Sunset

Getting to know a person requires a lot of conversation. After watching the first film then this, the second film has a lot more walking and talking. This is more conversational forward, which is not bad thing at all. As they both continue to learn more about each other, we the audience are learning more about them. I consider them people and not characters b/c fictional characters don’t give out the same humanity as these two people written into the story. It’s refreshing to see these two people talk about their thoughts again and what happened during those 9 years. We can see how much they’ve changed after the first time they met but they’re still the same person. I love how their thoughts are more expressed than the first time they met. Because that’s how realistic the storytelling is in these films, you’re not gonna know a certain person right away. This feels so real and true, it’s not like we’re watching two fictional characters, it’s like we’re watching two actual human beings moving on with life.
