well i took some time off to watch before sunset..
now i know why my frens like it so much, coz i like it too
the conversations they had just sounded so natural
i like the concept of a one-day thing.. mayb even just a couple of hours.. for a movie
one thing I noticed was that they seem to talk quite quickly and they talk alot.. like there was onli a couple of minutes of silence in the movie aft they met each other..
mayb coz there just isnt time.. in the movie, there's just before sunrise n before sunset, before they have to part
the thing abt 2 pple being so connected, it seem abit hard to get, for mi, but in the 2 characters.. jesse and celine, they just have it. makes mi kinda hopeful, haha.. that it might actually happen.
then comes the thing abt them parting 9yrs ago.. agreeing to meet in 6mths time, he went she couldnt make they just missed each other.. it has this sadness of it all.. and the wow they met again.. i was waiting for some passionate reunion kinda thing but it was just q subtle, they started talking like they just picked up where they left off... and 9yrs just shrunk into a v short period of time as if they never really left each other.
as if other things happening in their lives now seem like a rapid trainride, rather transient to bring them to where they r now.. meeting each other again
the thing abt enganging in long conversations like that and still seem genuinely interested in each other, feels so hard to achieve.. like the reality of bad marriages, couples tt dont communicate, just seem so much more real, coz tt's wat we see all the time.. i always have a bad feeling of ending up lidat.. which i dread.. so pls dont let it happen.. hahaa
aniwae.. i like the last part of before sunset.. where they were walking up this flight of stairs to her apartment.. where they so wanted to look at each other but once they other party looked over, they pretend to look away or look at the cat she was carrying..
the feeling was exactly like this scene in before sunrise.. where they were in a cable car kinda plc, i cant realli remember.. i just struck mi how the director and the story picked up where they left off.. they r still like how they were 9 yrs ago.. at least to each other..
aniwae well i'm still kinda at the age of before sunrise rite? haa the 24yo kinda age, well younger
i'm sure if i watch the show again at 32 - the before sunset kinda age.. it'll feel different again
- so 2 more shows to join ruguoai tt i'll wanna watch again when i'm older haha :)
