Two of the greatest love movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2006)

I only discovered these two fantastic films this very last week altogether with my wife. I rented first the "Before Sunrise". As we instantly got in love with it, we ran to Blockbuster the next day to get the "Before Sunset". What i must say is that are few valuable words to rate these films. Because this is about feelings. About that "one in a lifetime love passion" we once had, or we luckily are having, or yet, we wish we had had. Everything is perfect, Julie Delpy as Celine, Ethan Hawke as Jesse, Richard Linklater the director, the cleverest dialogs in movie history, the less known sites of Viena first, Paris after, etc, etc. Everything so "real live", "real people" that we viewers, become Jesse and Celine! They are us! We are them! Or we wanted to be... There were great love movies and there will be made great movies in the future, that's for sure. But these two will remain forever in my short top ten ranking. If you miss "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" you will never forgive yourselves! We get to the end of the movies, seeing the credits with a big and happy smile in our face. Next days later we search on the net more stories about "sunrise" and "sunset", the complicity with that young and then, 9 years older nice couple, grows and grows. And then we are addicted with these movies, and then we watch them again, and again... "Baby, you are gonna miss that plane" says Celine to an enchanted Jesse in the end. Was really the end?...
