my watch come a little too late but be glad i watch both this and the sequel together . which make me compliment the maker of this flick for give such a pure and basic treatment to the idea of romanticism . and very marginally separate it from the idea of relationship . a a lot have be write about the movie already and it would just be appropriate to highlight few portion of the movie which i personally love . i think the point where jesse and celine make phony phone call to their respective friend be a very shrewd way of tell each other what they have mean to each other through a journey not even extend 24 hr . the curiosity of two people who both think the other have make an infallible impact on the other have be very smartly deal with . on the plot front and make a romantic story work on pure conversation be not an easy job to accomplish . i believe in romantic flick of such flavor and the character be not clearly design even in the writer and director mind . what the actor bring out be what become of them . right or wrong even the idea bearer would find it difficult to justify . to become the character and the life the actor give have to go beyond instruction and the story . here both the actor do just the right job . kudos . and before sunset be another feather which make this one even more beautiful .
