Before Sunset (2004)

I had not seen the prequel to this although my date had and she filled me in on many details. While the experience of this film would be enriched by having seen the preceding film first, it certainly stands satisfactorily alone.

In many ways, this reminded me very much of one of my most favorite movies of all time, "My Dinner with André," in which just 2 characters talking comprised the whole movie. In that movie, the friends had been close, drifted apart, and then had a brief reunion at a dinner at which they caught up with what the other had been doing. The two principals, André Gregory and Wallace Shawn, played themselves and each represented one side of a dialectic, say the side of romanticism vs. a conventional reality. "Before Sunset" is parallel in many ways.

At one level we have a romantic story -- two people who'd briefly been lovers nine years before and lost touch meet again. They spend an afternoon together. Will they try to fulfill what they'd started?

At another level, we have the charm of conversation and exploration, of reminiscing, of gradually feeling out and discovery of how much do I have in common with this person now? -- where has this person been? -- what are they capable of now? -- how much freedom of choice do I have, does this other person have -- to make decisions? Etc.

While Celine and Jesse have a capacity for relating and talking, they also have somewhat opposite ways of viewing the world and relationships -- Celine is more cynical and reserved; Jesse is more open to settling for the "not-perfect-but-good-enough."

There are possibly a few people who have not had the personal experiences that at least somewhat relate to the premise in this film -- a relationship in which one wonders, "what would have happened if I'd pursued that relation?" but probably most people have. And the other dilemma, of meeting again that someone but by now being involved in relationships of responsibility -- my family, my children, my present life. What would it do to them if I were to pursue my own happiness at the expense of them? Can I do that? Can I value the chance of my own happiness above theirs? Etc.

The film, fortunately, gives us no answers to these essential questions but it does pose them in a way that makes us consider them.

Delpy and Hawke are given screenwriter credits and I feel sure that they must've contributed a great deal to the feeling of seamless, natural dialogue.

Trainspotting (1996)

Trainspotting, A Psychedelic drama tell a story about guys who living with drugs in their daily life, take a setting in Edinburgh, the characters have their own problems and they have same resolution to disentangled themselves from the problems: taking drugs. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), is the main character who told the narration whole the film and seeing life from a drugs addict’s perspective. His friend, Tommy, attacked by Toxoplasmosis till death. Spud, being in jail for a while then join the team again. And Begsbie, he never taking drugs but he has high temperament and then became an escapee. Sick Boy, this guy was having some serious problems too. Later, Renton has to be rehabilitated by his parents because his addiction became dangerous, and it did well. He moved to London afterwards and work as a house salesman and saving money. He became a ‘mob’ again when offered by his friend to bribe and involved is a transaction. While in his mind, he really wanted to change, especially for his girlfriend, Diane (Kelly MacDonald).

13 years before the success of Sumdog Millionaire, the director Danny Boyle has made a notable movie named Trainspotting. Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, Danny Boyle relied on the dynamic camera movement and creative angle conspicuously. From the beginning Boyle usually uses unequally camera taking. The dominant colors are bright. And for me, the most beautiful scene In the film is when Renton scuffled to control himself against his drug-desire in his room and there are various people he had met in his life, the crawling baby on the canopy, Begsbie come and disappear within his blanket, Spud sat on the cupboard with chain binding his feet, and so on. This film is the #10 best British movie all the time according to The British Film Institution.

Before Sunrise (1995)

"Before Sunrise" is a wonderful love story and has to be among my Top 5 favorite movies ever. Dialog and acting are great. I love the characters and their ideas and thoughts. Of course, the romantic Vienna, introduced in the movie does not exist (you won't find a poet sitting by the river in the middle of the night) and it isn't possible to get to all the places in only one night, either (especially if you're a stranger and it's your first night in Vienna). But that's not the point. The relationship of the two characters is much more important and this part of the story is not at all unrealistic. Although, nothing ever really happens, the movie never gets boring. The ending is genuinely sad without being "Titanic" or something. Even if you don't like love stories you should watch this film!.
