sunrise and sunset

I finally watched the long-awaited "Before Sunrise", the work of "After Sunset" 9 years ago. No matter how moving and raving about it, this is just a movie after all, mainly through the dialogue of the characters to express the director's feelings about "this feeling can be reminisced, but it was already lost at that time", "the chrysanthemum has been left with frost on the temples" "As well as the perception and good expectations of life.
There are many small details worth recalling. For example, when Celine and Jesse were walking on the streets of a foreign land, she said that she often had the opportunity to do some romantic and interesting things with her friends, but in her heart, she hoped that another person would share these things with herself. I can even feel myself in the same situation finding the idea of ​​this wonderful city air and beauty suddenly dimmed.
There is also a detail Jesse said that there is a place where a man and a woman do not meet and communicate before they get married, but they just stare at each other quietly for an hour before getting married. The woman heard it and said it was very beautiful. I agree that the
ending of the film is very good. After the two separate, they have their own thoughts on the journey alone, lonely but not lonely memories and secret joys. Pull the harmonious, unrestrained, unending conversations of thoughts and sparks in the whole film back to reality from the four-dimensional space. This shot has two meanings: one is to realize what I have harvested this night, which is transformed into an indescribable time and space freeze, and into a firm belief in feelings. The second is to imply that this kind of self-confidence and fixed frame make it difficult to advance in the future, and stop moving forward. When people are willing to live in memory, it means getting old. (In "Before Sunset" where the two reunited nine years later: Celine has experienced love without passion again and again, and left sadly again and again. She feels that that night has exhausted all her romance and passion. Almost no longer believes in the love that will allow him to find a home.)
I think that Jesse and Celine can be so good is also related to their personality characteristics. Male thinking jumping, humorous. Quoting Xiao Yi, "A typical American has a theoretical system for any point of view, and it is a long speech at every turn. In fact, he is the one who is the most confused and vulnerable. Because he can't get rid of the realism in the root, he has no strong enough inner appeal to support it. herself." And Celine has a strong subjectivity in her heart, and she does not hesitate to express her views and confide in herself. Their character traits are likely to attract each other, colorful. The most impressive scene is that they played a role-reversal game in the restaurant to express their feelings, and they played each other's friends and called each other to express their true thoughts and feelings about each other.
Another more important factor is the environment, the relationship between the environment and people, the influence on people, not only the specific scenery, but also the behavior of people in the general environment. In the film, Celine talked to Jesse about the art exhibitions she had seen, and said that she liked the feeling of people and scenery being blended together by the painter. It is only in such a specific environment that people will play cards out of common sense and have stories. I remember that in that painting, the hazy pedestrians were faded by the surrounding environment, engulfed, and turned into a vague concept of no individual...
It is said that when Ethan Hanke and Julie Delpy acted in this film, it was a one-off, and many times it was Improvising, I can't believe it. It's too true to the heart. If there is no deep tacit understanding like an old friend, then the actors must put a lot of effort into rehearsing the dialogue. And "Before Sunset", which the two actors worked together again 9 years later, is also a script written by the two leading actors and the director together. There are rumors that Ethan Hanke divorced because of this reason, which is very credible.
Celine has a line of dialogue: "People always need love, don't we do so much for ourselves to get more love?" In the last segment of the sunset, Celine couldn't help Jesse's request and sang a song he composed ( This is indeed made by actress Julie), the film swayed and ended beautifully without an ending. At this moment, I also hope to learn the guitar well.

    Samsung, at most three and a half, can't give it higher. More than 100 minutes were supported by conversations that were one to the other. After reading it intermittently, there is no annoying place, but it is also really lackluster, no surprises, no touches. The story is too simple and not unfolded. You can skip to the end just 10 minutes before watching it. If love stays at the same level after sunset, there is no interest in watching it again.
