Before Sunrise & Sunset

currently: watching Before Sunset (again)

back then, in 1995, ada film berjudul 'Before Sunrise'. yang maen si ganteng Ethan Hawke dan aktris Perancis Julie Delpy. it's a drama. sepanjang filmnya, cuma berisi obrolan panjang antara 2 karakternya, Jesse dan Celine. dialog. dialog. dialog. dialog. dialog sampe mabok.

Before Sunrise bersetting di Vienna. ceritanya, Jesse dan Celine ketemu di kereta, mereka ngobrol, ngerasa asik, trus ngabisin waktu jalan2 keliling Vienna sambil ngomong tentang segala macem, ngobrol ngalur-ngidul. they fell in love. janjian ketemu lagi di tempat yang sama tepat 6 bulan kemudian. that's the end of it.

Before Sunset, bercerita tentang Jesse dan Celine 9 tahun kemudian. filmnya juga dirilis 9 tahun setelah film yang pertama. masih sama, filmnya berisi obrolan panjang antara mereka berdua. dialog. dialog. dialog. dialog ampe mabok. dan ujungnya? sama. ngegantung kaya' film yang pertama.

I love these movies.

I love them.

A LOT.

Jesse: Alright, alright. Think of it like this. Um, uh, jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, you know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life, and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? (Céline starts laughing a bit) Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me, you know. So think of this as time travel, from then, to now, uh, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband, to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy (motions to towards the door).

Céline: (thinks) Let me get my bag.
