Before Sunrise

You are standing on the quiet street in the early morning of a European town, as fresh and innocent as a drop of dew, like those thrilling but fleeting beauty in life, irreplaceable and irreplaceable beauty.
It's not that I can't be loyal, follow the rules, be a 100% good father and husband, sometimes I even want to be him, and sometimes I feel so close to him. I'm just afraid that it's taking away the unpredictable moments, the unpredictable great joys beyond the worldly happiness.

A chance encounter, a short stay in a small town, two anonymous strangers, walking and talking indefinitely, sharing the moments of life with each other. Be completely true to yourself without being yourself. Together at the moment, go their separate ways tomorrow, only this moment and this night belong to them. Romance is unreal.
I liked the scene in the audition room, the peeking eyes crisscrossed each other, and the subtle feeling was really captured. Love that they pretend to call friends in the restaurant, with a little twisty confession, chic and moving. Like in the empty alley at dawn, he suddenly stood still and said that I want to take a picture of you, so that this scene can be engraved in my heart often recalled.

We can certainly say that to love someone is to do everything possible to be with him/her, to change plans, sacrifice freedom, and take responsibility for him/her. Yes. But all these are not love in themselves, but derivatives, appendages, ashes of love, to prove the intensity of love, the greatness of love. But mediocre people often put the cart before the horse, ashes often become the only way to prove love, and sacrifice becomes the measure of love. So we see that in reality, love often becomes an invasion of another person's life, occupying its own territory, leaving unique traces, and making its own existence indelible in entanglement. Love has become a complex and difficult emotion. I don't mean to disparage this, because no matter what we think, it's inevitable to some extent. But this is really not pure love. Love is indeed free and frank without being realistic or deliberate, even if it is short-lived, even if the parties themselves did not realize it at the time.
The purest kind of love is love that requires no sacrifice, no change, complete confession, and freedom to come and go. But they are also forever ephemeral and fleeting and exist only in the imagination.
Therefore, there is no deliberate sacrifice in order to fight against reality, and there are not even those disputes that do not belong to love in getting along due to differences in personality and cognition. During this day's wandering, I saw the beauty of purified love. It's so romantic, it's too beautiful to be true, but it's so touching because it once existed in the heart of every loved one.

    This is like a time-travel, which is extremely unreal. With a half-knowledge of the other place and the other party, a time-travel is carried out in a quiet and sleepless night. Talking about everything, at the same time, because I don’t know much, I rely on my first feeling to maintain a short and warm spark, rolling on the lawn, talking on the phone at the dining table, asking questions on the bus, but I don’t want to be conventional, but love. It's cliché. But it's so romantic.

    The eyes that evade as soon as they touch the vinyl disc in the listening room are the most moving, and the cutest part of pretending to call their friends.

Before Sunrise quotes

  • Jesse: Alright, I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this it's just, uh, you know, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life

    Celine: What?

    Jesse: Um... I want to keep talking to you, y'know. I have no idea what your situation is, but, uh, but I feel like we have some kind of, uh, connection. Right?

    Celine: Yeah, me too.

    Jesse: Yeah, right, well, great. So listen, so here's the deal. This is what we should do. You should get off the train with me here in Vienna, and come check out the capital.

    Celine: What?

    Jesse: Come on. It'll be fun. Come on.

    Celine: What would we do?

    Jesse: Umm, I don't know. All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I don't really have enough money for a hotel, so I was just going to walk around, and it would be a lot more fun if you came with me. And if I turn out to be some kind of psycho, you know, you just get on the next train.

    Jesse: Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, y'know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy.

    Celine: Let me get my bag.

  • Celine: Did your parents divorce?

    Jesse: Yeah. Finally. They should have done it a lot sooner, but they stuck together for a while for the "well-being of my sister and I", thank you very much.
