Before Sunset

i have never seen a sequel to a movie that manages not only to stir up everything that made the first movie so special, but also add a whole new theme and layers to these people we've met in the first film, just with dialogue.  it's genuinely one of the most real movies out there. as overused as the phrase "they don't feel like actors acting" is, it couldn't be more applicable here.  these people are hurt but happy to have met again, grateful but resentful, moved on but part of them is still stuck in that one night in vienna. deep down still in love, but distant on the outside. both unhappy in their current relationships, knowing they are made for each other but can't do anything about it.  just about every question we had from the first movie is answered and expanded upon, while still leaving us hanging yet again. it's one of those movies that just feel magical. it's comforting while still somehow being devastating. their chemistry is as infectious as possible and, to top it all off, that car sequence... fuck me
