Before Sunset

When you are 21 and old, you either happen to fall in love or be a supportive shoulder to someone who already are in love. Fortunately or not, i belong to the second category, although it involved a lot of phone calls to my friend in sharing her ecstasy about her 3 year anniversary or sometimes consoling her, saying her boyfriend is anyway a douchebag(yeah! we girls do that a lot; blaming the boyfriends of poor little drama queens although their mistake is of miniscule amount) for not bringing her favorite chocolate cake on anniversary. Sometimes, being a friend to these love birds can piss you off. You spend a whole good hour on consoling them about their supposedly overrated breakup and an hour later, you get to know they patched up! I mean, dear girl! i am happy for you..but what about my shoulder which got drenched with your tears?

After all this, we just give a good sigh on how madly and deeply our friends are in love; and forget the trauma that preceded. Such is Love. I am not the best person to describe an alien emotion; i must say i stumbled a lot in finding its true definition...and finally i settled to "Crazy Stupid Thing". And recently i came across this amazing movie "Before Sunset".

Known for its conversational type screenplay, this is about two strangers, who meet after 9 years and talk away the whole runtime of the movie on how things are going on with them. Its a sequel to Before Sunrise, where Jesse and Celine meet in a train, get down unintentionally and spend a night together (okay now,come on people! be romantic; its not just a one night stand, they chat and drink and dance) merrily only to realize they have fallen for each other. Except one glitch for their perfect story. They don't exchange their contacts.

Our dear Jesse, the American dude who is lost in life and adventurous, and Celine, the sweet, pretty French lassie with lot of ambitions drift apart for reasons unavoidable. Fast forward their life to 9 years, they meet again in France,Jesse's last stop of his bestseller book promotion.

These strangers, who just met for a day, connect so deeply and couldn't forget each other after so long time even after their lives changed completely! The whole conversation between them shows how they longed for each other, and how they can be perfect each other.

Just as its prequel Before Sunrise which ends with a suspense whether these two lovebirds meet or not; this movie too..ends with Jesse looking at Celine with loving eyes and she telling him "Jesse, you are gonna miss that flight"; for which he nods intently, as if he knew its inevitable and would love to miss it. After watching this movie and its prequel, one would start believing in the phrase "Made for each other".

One day had changed their lives. Before Sunset is a definite watch for those who love romantic movies and encourage variety in the screenplay. Awesome performance from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, along with their screenplay credits, this movie occupied my favorite list. Before Midnight(2013) is the sequel of Before Sunset, where Jesse and Celine again chat away their lives' issues, only making it more interesting.

So lemme end this article by saluting those friends who are a supporting system in most of the love stories and a recommendation to everybody to watch this amazing movie.

Adios!
