europeans must learn other languages to make money off american tourists.... Americans do learn other languages to do foreign business but it is not required bc there is plenty of money to made here, without having to learn another language. americans are far superior to any other country. you know this fact and that is why you are so eager to vent your frustations over a youtube video.
the phone call part is such a perfect way to tell the other person everything you've been thinking... without it being too awkward, haha. it's too adorable, this movie, and they're both so great in their roles!
i love how they say you know, it makes me say you know and then get annoyed at myself for imitating the you knows from this movie but then i realize that i say you know all the time anyway so it doesn't really matter, you know? : )
"If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible, but...who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt."
I love how the director Richard Linklater chose not to put subtitles where a language other than English is spoken. It truly places us inside the film as if we were also really there and adds to the overall authenticity. Esp. in the restaurant scene here that shows all the different tables'-worth of people speaking German and then it shows the American couple with the tacky, rude guy shallowly complaining about the service. Such an awesome juxtaposition! I love everything about this movie!!! :-)
@videodoe But it's true, service at Cafe Sperl is actually pretty poor, and keep in mind that it's a historic place, where Adolf Hitler used to give speeches before he went on to rule the 3rd Reich.
@gegebird He actually says "maßlos" which literally means "without measure". the full conversation goes something like this: "Egon Schiele has brought an extraordinary important departure into modern time. And then you mustn't forget Otto Wagner, the great architect..."
@gegebird In case you are interested: the first group of people is arguing about something that's disturbing the "postcard image" of vienna. the middle-aged mens' conversation goes like this: "I was in Dubrovnik as a five year old." "It doesn't matter. It's vacation time." "I'm in love with Dubrovnik." "(sarcastic) Wonderful. Now you can go there and see a destroyed city." Finally there's some talking about something that has probably been pissed on. :) I love Vienna. It really is like this.
@gegebird ha ha. it's not that bad. even for a native german, the viennese dialect is sometimes hard to understand. besides, we should all be glad, there are still people alive knowing who maslow was.
I love what she says from 4:10 to 4:37.I feel just like that.Devoting ur life to loving someone seems to be a sign of weakness.I think it would be amazin too love some1 as much as ur own life,without limits and not being afreaid of letting them know it.
Don't we love how these two got around to Vienna as if they know the place?
This movie is so...honest and pure. I was so taken aback at how simple it is yet so moving. You really felt a connection with their conversations.
Maybe because...it's the way the actors played these characters well. So much sincerity in them. I'm glad there's a sequel. And I hope they made the 3rd (or a fourth) one...soon.

im tryin so hard to enjoy this, and there are parts wer its really sweet n romantic but oh my Gosh, talk about boreing....bt i'l watch it to the end tho. lol
...and goldbond, what about ethan hawke's character? you could argue the opposite and say the only reason he picked her up was because she's attractive
99.2% of attractive women always say that they want a guy with a sense of humor, charming, and with a great personality. But that is usually not the case. Women only date guys who they are very attractive to, even if he is a jerk. I bet anyone if Jesse look like Shrek in this movie, no women wouldn't want to watch this movie.
Don't argue with me just accept the truth Ladies.:P
i really think charm/personality/humour can win a girl over and then you start to find things about that person more physically attractive as an afterthought(yes, probably even Shrek - like a nice smile:)) HOWEVER, I think you're fairly on target - some women really do go for vain but hot-looking jerks. Those of us who see substance like Jesse for who he is, first and foremost... - it's a bonus that he looks and sounds sexy:)
Thank you for your comment and acknowledging my comments as well. Yup, you also hit it on the spot. Maybe its time for women to acknowledge the truth so they can move forward with a more happier life. I think that they are cheating themselves of a productive and happy life if they continue to just go after looks. Once a woman flews are exposed their ¨good-looking¨ guy will dump her in a split second.

How can anyone talk for this long in just one night? Crazy I tell you. That is one reason why relationship does not last, because women talk way too much.
4:06-6:46 (the 'Alleyway' conversation) is probably one of the best, most revealing moments in "Before Sunrise" because it wholeheartedly crystallizes the dilemma between being this 'creative individual' versus the 'beloved family person' that many people go through deciding about. I think the lines here are excellent&the acting is impeccable. Final shot (the 2 of them sitting there in silence) perfectly demonstrates how many of the questions won't be answered, we have to learn them on our own.
I have fought with myself so many times the conflict between the ARTIST WAY OF LIFE or the BELOVED FAMILY GUY. Both have good things. But in the First one sometimes the company it's necessary to reaffirm your feelings, goals and self-esteem. I know It sounds selfish to have some one to love you but to love too.... Love is complex, but not impossible. The problem is to keep the magic in a Standard Married Way of Life. When all the responsibilities come, Children Taxes.
It's indeed more difficult & challenging to be "on your own" not just for the lack of a solid relationship bond, but also because there is (in a sense) a pressure from society/friends/family to feel compelled to forge the family unit (it is, after all, the norm for centuries haha). Probably as one gets older, learns more about him/her self, the appeal of the 'casual thing' loses some of its charm because a desire for a solid structure in place with life takes hold. But, everyone feels different.
I think you make some excellent points. All makes fine sense to me. The conflict between the 2 choices is indeed a difficult struggle and decision for many. Both (like anything else) will have their pros&cons; it just depends on what the individual feels inside& is looking/searching for. It's nice when the relationship is balanced .. a natural give-and-take .. to be able to give and receive love. Definitely complex. You are right: it's about maintaining that harmony/happiness when changes come.
I love it when she talks about how loving someone and being loved is important to her. around four minutes in. and when the guy starts talking it kind of reminds me of a conversation I had with with a good friend. i love it.
Come on!! This movie is just awesome!! The conversation might seem so trivial at first, but then you realize how interesting is it! It's obvious this movie was made just for smart people :P
Thats the idea you idiot, to listen to the everyday thoughts, things you talk about too, interesting things, and most importantly, things that are what surrounds us, real things that are destroying us, changing us, and creating us. Do you really think that those movies where you see all that "drama people" represent something that actually happens, something that actually exists? come on, grow up!
cuuuuuuuuuz ur lazy? maybe? just a thought:P oooooooor ur a youtube fanatic ooooooooooor the version u have is a pirate version with ppl gettinfg uo in the middle and laughing, or maybe u where on teh computer and u decided u wanted to watch that movie. :D
Maybe it's because you can read and leave comments after each small part. I enjoy watching this movie on youtube too, it makes me feel like there's a lot of peaple watching with me.
02:10 - 02:13 I love how Céline drags Jesse from his t-shirt.
02:18 - 02:24 And Jesse's short dance.
Dammit! I hope the person I'd fall in love with be a little like him.
