Before Sunrise

Is one of the most romantic films I've seen in a long time. Picture this : Most charming Ethan Hawke meets lovely Julie Jelpy (with that adorable French accent and her lucious red lips) on a train to Vienna. Out of the blue he convinces her to get of the train with him, in order to spend the night with him wandering the streets of the capital, waiting for his flight back home. They meet a poet and a fortune teller, they go on the ferris wheel and steal a bottle of wine and listen to records, they discuss life and relationships.
I will not spoil the ending for you, but let me just say that I cannot wait to watch the second film, Before Sunset.

 




Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you. You’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?

“You are both stars, don’t forget it. When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust. So, don’t forget, you are stardust.”
