My Review.

"Ten,twenty years and your married and your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it use to have,. Now you start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might of happened if you picked up with one of them,well i'm one of those guys. So think of this as time travel from then to now,to find out what your missing out on. What this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out your not missing out on anything,I'm just a big loser as he is totally unmotivated,totally boring and ugh you made the right choice and your really happy.".

A film with the time span of twenty four hours that makes sense,is really funny but not through actions but by dialogue with two of the greatest male and female characters since Bonnie and Clyde. The movie has to work with it's dialogue it has to keep the audience invested through dialogue so they choose two unknown actors at the time for this particular film. I doubt Ethan Hawke and Julie Deply were famous before this movie came out.

The film is about Jesse(Hawke) and Celine(Deply) who meet on a train Jesse is american and Celine is getting from seeing her grandmother and she is french. They start talking they really having a good time and Jesse decides since they both have to leave the next day that they should spend one night together in Vienna.

In the movie they do nothing but talk,what do they talk about you may ask? Nothing spectacular. Parents, death, former boyfriends and girlfriends, music, and the problem with reincarnation when there are more people alive now than in all previous times put together (if there is a finite number of souls, are we living in a period of a 5-to-1 split?). Linklater's dialogue is weirdly amusing, as when Jesse suggests they should think of their time together as a sort of "time travel," and envisions a future in which she is with her boring husband and wonders, "what would some of those guys be like that I knew when I was young," and wishes she could travel back in time to see - and so here she is, back in time, seeing.

A movie where the dialogue is as quick smooth,alarming and bittersweet like our two main characters are films that are not often made or seen in modern times anymore which is disappointing,I give Before Sunrise a five out of five.
