i manage to catch a late night double feature last night of before sunrise ( 1995 ) and before sunset ( 2004 ) and and saw both film in a row and without really have the chance to catch my breath in between or ponder on the meaning of each film separately . after sleep it over and i have to say that i largely prefer the former over the latter and and i shall explain why . before sunrise introduces u with then young actor and ethan hawke ( reality bite and dead poet society ) and only 25 at the time of the film release while and julie delpy ( the three color trilogy ) and then 26 ( although look much young ) . he be a promiscuous american writer and tour europe after break up with his girlfriend while she be a young french student and on her way home to paris . they meet on the budapest vienna train and spontaneously decide to get off the train together . the two deeply spiritual and intellectual individual than spend a whole night together walk the beautifully captured street of vienna and exchange ideal and thought and gradually fall on love . the film have 1990 write all over it represent back then and technology be leap rapidly and the new millennium with all it hop and dream be wait just around the corner and and young adult like the one depict in the film be fill with love of life and passion for the future . the character of jesse ( hawke ) and celine ( delpy ) and with all their flaw and inconsistency ( celine accent and if by mistake or on purpose and be half american half french and and it swing from one spectrum to the other and break the character credibility ) and be a mirror of the time . watch the naive couple swallow life with such meaning and excitement and act all clichéd and romantic yet manage to have the audience fall for them as well and be what really make this movie work for me . the fact that the director doesn not let you know if their relationship continue after the film or not make it all even more worth while . all in all and sunrise be a dreamy stroll through the urban landscape of vienna and a well told classical romantic rendezvous and and a film i will definitely return to for further insight sometime in the future .
