"Before Sunrise" 2/10

[poisoncupcake74]

I remember I was asked to see this movie by a friend in 98 who had it on vhs, and I said no because I was too tired. Its 2012 and I'm just now seeing it!!! I love it!!!

[AbelleveMe]

I wasnt even a fetus when this was made lol but what a great film. Now i really want to go to vienna :)

[whyilee]

TEX RUBINOWITZ!!

[javierreyrodrigues]

I'm argentinian and I'm right now visiting Vienna. Today I found the green bridge!!! Incredible!!! And have dinner at the Kleines Cafe. The bar man a cool guy. And Vienna such a magic city.

[mikeweckstein]

Soooo weird I like knew his name was Jesse before he even said it! >.>

[htjester]

This is a very charming movie so far. :) Thanks so much for posting this!

[GrEyOwL92]

i have seen 'before sunset' and this is my first time seeing 'before sunrise'. ohmygoodness..i think a lot like the both of them. i love deep conversations like this...i wish guys were this easy to talk to about such things. i'm definitely going to love this movie, everything is so real..it's so unlike all those other silly romance movies. and that's what i admire most about 'before sunrise' and 'before sunset'...they're real.

[JCMySoulsBoast]

Jessie is a total dork. Very unattractive.

[unseenqueen1015]

I love her character

[keithdjessadam]

Crossing the threshold into Love as she exits the train.......AAhhh, Amore'.

[keithdjessadam]

She's a German Actress who learned to speak French.....Works for me. 7/31/11 202p

[danchy505]

She is such a bad actress!

[Vanybella11]

I´m sorry but when she speaks french, she looks as an American. Her acting is bad.

[calmsnowfall]

@Vanybella11

That's funny considering she's French. 

[hudson0815]

Lol. The austrian guys say "cow" exactly like Aaanold would say it. "CAUW"

[Vanybella11]

Julie Delpy is supposed to be French in the movie, They must have choose another nationality for her, She doesn't look like french at all, maybe swedish or Polish.

[MattyJames25]

@Vanybella11 "She doesn't look like french at all"

You obviously have the wrong idea about how French people look: she IS French. She looks just as 'French' as Depardieu or Deneuve so what the hell?

[zeldagoblin]

@MattyJames25 Maybe Vanybella expected her to be wearing a beret, striped shirt, and a string of onions round her neck :o)

[MattyJames25]

@zeldagoblin Puffing away on a Gauloise? lol

[mareashapiro]

@Vanybella11

tru im polish i look mor like her hahaha

[memoranda1]

well it is a movie so this type of shit only works for guys that look like ethan hawke lol however im just gonna say that it aint odd that a girl would go with a guy she likes, cause if she likes him of course she will theres instant attraction, maybe in america is a little more conservative ive met girls that have never met me or anything but nothing happened theyre just curious about me thats all, thats why he says if he turns a psycho she can leave. so it all depends on the attraction .

[hystria1]

@sexy74223 I would rather say the opposite.. it is very common in Europe. Most people travelling by themselves are looking to meet someone actually - in fact most travelling people are looking for that. So it's very easy to make such connections. The movie is actually very realistic about this kind of fast-making relationship, it describes exactly the tension and the specific moments involved.

[noumenah]

At 06:23 she decided she wanted to have sex with Jessie... I'm pretty sure of that!! I know I would! I'm in love with Jessie

[BM151]

@noumenah good eye... she did make that decision, I've seen this movie a dozen times and I never caught her little grin

[ConcreteGirl4]

having backpacked in europe... this hits close to home..

[ptlump]

I just noticed a goof in this scene. He refers to his Great Grandmother's death, and then he describes seeing his Grandmother's ghost through the mist of the garden hose.

[BigOldMrKnish]

i thought he broached the subject of sex a little too early with the young lady, but then again, he is ethan hawke and he can get away with it- he's a good looking bastard... like me.

[TALENTGIRL19]

Would be awesome if something like this happened to me.

I saw the sequel last night by accident but didn't see this one so this is great. I really like the characters specially the girl, she's likable and quirky, similar to me. She looks the same then she does in the sequel.

.

[sistaz1]

i would never of left with him lol creeeeeeeeeepy

[guitbox2000]

Reality my butt! P.S. they swear a lot! They say "shit" and "fuck"

[WorthyTraitor]

I suppose it's realistic if we choose to make it so in our own lives. To me, this movie - aside from being an experiment in wonderful - is a fine example of how we could live our lives and choose to meet people.

[slayer200128]

Wow.... the way he persuades her by talking about the future and not liking it and thinking about all the past people they met in their life is kind of foreshadowing Before Sunset, isn't it?

[DrunkPerson]

is this realistic

does ne1 think this cud actually happen

i just find this movie a bit overly optimistic

[WakingApnea]

@DrunkPerson

it's a very realistic, well-depicted fantasy

[lilze96]

@DrunkPerson It's possible! Before Sunrise was inspired by Richard Linklater (director) encounter w/ a woman he met @ a toy shop in Philadelphia...they walked around the city and talked about life, politics, religion, etc.

[I9IIEIIYIIEIIS]

@DrunkPerson yes, all i can say is...watch the sequel, n u will see the 'harsher reality' tie in

[milej007]

@DrunkPerson You may have a point, but it can happen. my parents met on a train and they are still happy together.

[marisolmongelosm]

I love how she acts!

[misssixteen16]

I love his time traveling theory.

I think I can do anything with that theory not only love.

[6labi4]

5:40 but the train is waiting for them ? iihihi

[xcorpox]

@6labi4

sometimes in europe the trains wait about 10 15 minutes on big cities if it's an international train...But I thought about that too;)

[imroweh]

i was there on a trip xd

[SignorSid]

The cow-to-be-actor is Austro-German cartoonist Tex Rubinowitz, he really played the cow in 1995 in the play the guys are talking about.

[ayansb]

I love the foreshadowing in the scene where they ask around about things to do in Vienna. Warning SPOILERS for Before Sunset:"We're on our honeymoon... she got pregnant so we had to get married." In the sequel, the character of Jessie hints at the fact that that's precisely the reason why he got married to his wife.

[SagravOramaz13]

@ayansb Oh, wow! That's true!! xD

[frightfullyromantic]

It's amazing how real this film is. Many of the conversations throughout remind me of ones I've had with others I've encountered. So refreshing!

[IntoxicatedCrow]

Has anyone else seen Julie's Delpy's? They are pretty perfect and perky as a high schooler's. She really is a kitten and she has so much going for her especially the french accent and the pouting lips.

[demonbarber17]

@IntoxicatedCrow are you talking about her tits?

[IntoxicatedCrow]

@demonbarber17 indeed I am my friend

[demonbarber17]

@demonbarber17 ah. I''m sure you and ethan hawke could talk for hours on that subject

[plica06]

I think the Austrian guys are hilarious. "Do you speak German, for a change."

[Fanoulita]

If this guys wasn't so determined he wouldn't have convinced her to stay..

They both felt a strong connection but what if he wouldn't take the risk??

That's something I love about this movie..

[tropicanahana]

hahahaha that german guy "museums are not that funny anymore..."

[tjq007]

hahaha~ I like this guy.

[DontTouchMyVicodin]

It's so weird watching this and thinking "I know all these places! And Ethan Hawke was there!" I go past some of them almost every day.

[thegraduatee]

He's trying to be James Lipton!?! Hahaha

[WestEnderPAP]

@thegraduatee Given the question and the setting (Vienna) I'm guessing he's trying to be a bit like Sigmund Freud.

[IntoxicatedCrow]

I had a girlfriend once upon a time that shared ever instance of passion in life with me. We just about loved everything about each other but the one thing that I could not get her to like was this movie or Before Sunset and it drove me crazy because I absolutly love them. Not to say we had to like the same things but she couldn't see the beauty in it and she said that they were boring. I still can't understand her, maybe she was too immature at the time. Or maybe its just not for her? Who knows

[ruzbehan]

@IntoxicatedCrow Did you two broke because of that? :)

[IntoxicatedCrow]

@ruzbehan No man, we broke up for a lot of reasons but certainly not that. That would be ridiculous and grant it i've broken up with women before for some fucking stupid reasons but nothing flat out retarded.

[ruzbehan]

@IntoxicatedCrow It was a joke, you understand that.

[IntoxicatedCrow]

@ruzbehan sorry bro, there are some stupid mother fuckers on youtube so I gotta stay on my toes

[MegaRomancer]

I loved this movie and part 2 before Sunset.

[jorkaef100]

It was released in 1994.

[itsrealydifficult]

@jorkaef100 thats right! And also i didn´t have found any better movie of this kind.

my dear showed it to me long time ago. I often remember some parts at special situations.

-Also i love the manny German conversations (later in the restaurant-thats funny) -well i am german

(part two (before sunset) is also great)

[Renabulous]

i can relate to their conversation SO MUCH. also side note, love how her arms are so cute.

[Muckbird1234]

Cute arms? Cute arms?! Jesus, they're fucking arms for crying out loud! They have no particular distinguishing feature. Her arms mostly look like the arms of any other 20something year old, slender, woman of white complexion.

[Renabulous]

@Muckbird1234 calm down. i said something that was on my mind that is all. clearly you did too- but decided to mock what i said. actually, they're soft for a woman who's slender and her paleness makes them look softer. oh dear, i just did it again, said whats on my mind .

[deenn177]

i love "you could speak german for a change"

and "i'm a cow!" haha this situation seems really plausible though, hope it'll happen to me someday :]

[beliza87]

THE QUALITY SUCKS

[itsrealydifficult]

@beliza87 You cannot expect better Quality! this is Youtube!

[marinera76]

these stories do happen... it happened to me 10 years ago (between denmark and italy) and I still wonder "what if..."

lovely story!

[karakirez83]

beautifull love story

[Rizwan9O]

MaN..LoVee tHiS MovIEe... :-)

[Ludeboy71]

I don't think hte dance had much to do with "great pick-up"lines but more to do with chance. Two similiar souls.

[chelstone1991]

I think it was very strange the way he made her to go with him in a country that she don't knew but after that, i liked the movie. The pictures are great. Enjoy that!

[alirayz]

the way he persuades her, EPIC!

[pensivebosom]

@alirayz It would never work in real life. :(

[deeptrancenow]

@alirayz that persuasion is straight from speed seduction - or NLP - future pacing

[jmichigan100]

@alirayz Hell yes. That's the pick-up line of the century. To use on REAL women of course.

[mikeweckstein]

@alirayz Oh my goodness thanks for posting that comment or I'd never have went back to hear how epic it was after goin and getting me a bangin pizza from the oven to watch this bangin movie with!

[sonnywithachance111]

1995 directed by Richard Linklater. He also directed the sequel "Before Sunset". Other works include School of Rock and A Scanner Darkly.

[ThisGirlL0vesIt]

actor in the cow costume ! LMAO LOVE IT

[Dexxxtroyer]

"Yes, I am the cow! " then later Julie Delphy says "We didn;t see the play." Ethan Hawke: "The cow?" HAHAHAHA!

Will they trade "love" for a guy in a costume of a cow? I think not!

[ThisGirlL0vesIt]

^__^ i love this movie

[thrashthemic]

i like after the sunset when he was saying how he was in ny when he was getting married and he thought he saw her walking on the sidewalk and she was like " i was in ny that yr"

Love it!

[stop08it]

haha i just watched it, he says he say her coming out of a deli on 13th and broadway and thought it would be her...then she tells him she lived on 11th and broadway!...

my heart hurt for them a bit at that moment but the ending made up for it...

[TheUsername404]

"...I could never get very excited about other people's ambitions for my life..."

Whoa, this movie is full of introspective soundbites, but not once did I feel it was preachy or excessively maudlin. Mint really!

[Dexxxtroyer]

I wonder if this were a trilogy...I'm really left hangin on the second movie! But I'm glad they made a sequel.

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.

[actress2882]

there is a third called Walking Life.

[Dexxxtroyer]

really? I thougt the title would be "After Sunset" and the last "After Sunrise" hehehe. But whatever it is they better make a 3rd and 4th part. I don't really see 'em as a Trilogy only.

[Thicket20]

hahahahaha 7.45 :D

good movie :) like these kind of movies.. natural and unique at the same time

[Dexxxtroyer]

5:20 "jump ahead..10, 20 years from now..."

The greatest pick-up line I've ever heard! And it worked! Hook, line, sinker! LOL!

[ThisGirlL0vesIt]

LOL YES!!

[misMITU]

the conversations these two have in the movie are golden, love it even after all these years

[ShelLaura]

This is so realistic! Austrians really are like these two guys

[Miracle67]

They are so lovely! Ach!

[natasha00]

do you speak german for a change??? lol

[flag4eva]

I know what you mean by 'real,' I wonder if they gave them a 'whats suppose to happen in this scene,' and then they improvised spontaneously, because the conversation sounds believable and real.

[masterhalco]

No. That's just what happens when you have a great script, great performances, a great director, and taught editing.

[SaraZee67]

this movie feels so *real*...

[ilovepanday]

I just wish more movies like this will be made..this is very inspiring movie...."Whats your name" what a line...

[abuelT]

watch "into the wild" if u like those movies

[TSOAFrules13]

into the wild is the greatest true book to movie ever made.

[NeoJinn]

haha, they had to translate it into 9:30 for him.

[Jonnygasms]

"No I don't believe you you're a bad liar."

HA!

[christentze]

beautiful film.  i have a copy of the screenplay for before sunset and that's really a great read as well.

[damonjon]

the poem is the best

'don't you know me, don't you know me by now'

[kyosohmakun]

LMAO at the whole conversation about the cow. I mean, how random can you get...

[eva7scorpio]

I just love Ethan Hawk what a great actor

[devil211993]

^^lol that's so funny

same here

ut's an embarrassing question

but the movie is beautiful

[2Pseudonym1]

lol if the first question a guy asks me is 'describe your first sexual feelings...', i'd grab my bag and run.

[christentze]

haha. :) i know that outside of a film context, i would be very suspicious of the guy, too, had he said that. but thank goodness we know he's not insane and also, thank god celine's so trusting otherwise, we wouldn't have this film. haha. but true.

[jay123tysk]

@2Pseudonym1 You're boring that's why you're single :)

[AnonymusSources]

@2Pseudonym1

You're right - that is so creepy, but when it's Ethan Hawke . . . he can get away with it, anytime.

[JoeStunner]

@2Pseudonym1

I always thought that was a weird thing to ask! Subtlety obviously isn't his strong point...but then he is American.

[pinku576]

@2Pseudonym1 haa haa true.. but being a sensible guy one wouldnt really ask that Q... at least not in the begining.. :)

[TheKshitij7]

@2Pseudonym1 but come on if he asked you the same on the 4 or 5th meeting .. you would have told .. and on the 10 or 11th meet u will give him a practical of it .. so u r almost the same

[Bruno243141]

@2Pseudonym1 but if you're under a huge crew of casts and cameras. u should just gonna have to answer and with a big smile on ur face

[declarable]

@2Pseudonym1 you won't if you'll meet the jessy to your celine :)

[bananas390]

omg they dont even know each others names!

[f15x28isback]

Jesse James, ROFL

[DaEestariBoyz]

Text's would be great :P

[AnUnholyVoid]

I also love the fact that they can connect so well without even knowing small facts like each others names.

[AnUnholyVoid]

I love his description of childhood as a magical time. In many ways, thanks to hindsight, it really does seem that way. Also, I love his analysis. Claiming everything in life is ambiguous. I couldn't agree more. :)

[PunchDrunk983]

Exactly.

Philosophical yet unpretentious.

[saloli26]

Nowadays they would just swap email addresses and she wouldn't get off the train! Sigh...I love these two movies.

[Maglorz]

I thought the same

[Ludeboy71]

I couldn't make out what books they were reading? Anyone?

[akvallygirl]

i would go to that play for sure lol im the cow lmao :)

[ilargitxo2]

do you speak english for a change?????? hahaha yessss

[ilargitxo2]

do you speak german for a change??? haha that's what he says sorrry i was wronggg

[xoxoBridgeAFxoxo]

Everything about this movie is so... right

[i3skate]

that play sounds awesome. lol

[FionaSeinfeld]

I own both of these excellent movies but favorited them anyway. Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater all are the best. This movie and Before Sunrise inspired me to take my daughter to see the 2 great cities shown in this movie and the other, Vienna and Paris, and Budapest too, equally as great. All Americans should go see them. Oh, and take the train too.

[cookieshopgirl]

this movie is soooo classic and beautiful

[DigitalOberon]

I can't thank you enough for posting this movie. Excellent post.

[damonjon]

of course i have both of these films and i watch them every year or so...when i need to be reminded what love feels like...actually the insane idea that haunts him for the rest of his life is going back in december and she's not there

[Kuldegysning]

haha.. He is the cow... :D

[jswin334]

Hahaha, he says "I am the cow" like five times, he's awesome

[beguileiota]

i know, they are both so funny! and their accents! timless..."russians, communists"....hahahaha "the cow has a disease...she's acting a bit strange, like a dog...and she smokes through her hooves..." LMAO

[jswin334]

Hahahah, I am the cow! This movie is FLAWLESS

If only life were really so interesting

[beguileiota]

You know, I think this does happen...once in a blue moon. It'd be an experience you'll always remember - it'll come, don't worry!

[jswin334]

Yeah, I'm sure I'm going to meet an attractive, interesting, and funny french girl on a train when I decide to drift aimlessly in france for several months :p

... maybe I'll drift aimlessly in france just to see what happens

[lifeizshort]

lol

[katrinka72]

I love you as a human being for posting these. I really mean that. I love, love!

[rednick06]

thankl you so much for this..I love this movie
