My perfect film

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2006)

Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are my favourite movies. They somehow, scarily, play out my life.
I find it impossible to watch the movie with anyone in the room because it feels like my whole heart is being bared. I tell everybody to see the movie, though.
Celine and Jesse were saying all the things I've been desperate to say about my life.
I was so caught up with having them see each other again and catching up that I didn't even notice Jesse had a wedding ring on till Celine asked him about his wife.
Now that just turned everything on it's freaky head.
The scene in the taxi from the riverbank to Celine's apartment breaks my heart every time. The emotions were just out there - raw and powerful. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy should be very very proud of their acting.
There had to have been so much of their real lives revealed in that movie, which was very brave of them.
The first movie spoke to me too, as I was young and idealistic about love. I had a Jesse too and I was happy to believe that we would meet again.
This one totally articulates my disappointment and pain with where my life's at now.
Oh, to be young and passionate and fearless again.
My only question is "where is MY second chance at love like that?".
