So much for my happy ending
I'm watching: "Before Sunset:"
I'm a sentimentalist and a dreamer at heart and I tend to like strange movies that make me think or bring back memories. Before Sunset did all that - it's sentimental, makes one dream of possibilities, and brought back memories of the time I watched it's prequel: "Before Sunrise:"
Besides, these movies have something real about them - you love someone, but the timing is wrong, you live in the same city as the one you long for but you never meet. You are oceans apart but they are all you think about but you don't know that because you have no way of knowing. So you move on with your life. And one day you meet again and you are faced with the very real decision of - do you give up your life for a flash in the pan? a storm in the teacup? did you imagine the romance?
Or will you give everything up for that one person - you really really connected with? But you know that it might not work out?
It's not your typical hollywood romance, I guess. That's why I like it.

When Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) met on a Eurail train, the connection between them was immediate and profound. The 14-hour relationship that followed, as the pair explored the spontaneous and unexpected in Vienna, ended on a train platform where they swore they'd meet again six months later.
Nine years have passed since that morning.
On the last stop of his book tour, at the tail end of a reading in a Paris book shop, Jesse finds Celine watching from the back of the room. She lives in Paris now, he in New York. He's flying out that evening and they utilize every moment, finding their human connection no less vital, inspiring or real than it was in nine years ago in Vienna.
In a stimulating and revealing journey through Paris, in real time, these two individuals explore the inner workings of their hearts and minds and rediscover their rare yet powerful love for the unexpected, the unrehearsed, and each other.
Warner Independent Pictures and Castle Rock Entertainment present a sequel to the acclaimed 1995 film Before Sunrise. Directed by Richard Linklater, the visionary behind such films as Dazed and Confused and Waking Life, BEFORE SUNSET tells the timeless romantic story of two questing hearts and minds whose powerful bond defies time and place. -- © Warner Independent
