Then read if you still want to.
Often times people would tell me how great, how brilliant a movie was. As a result, I would unwittingly built up high expectation. Even when it turned out to be really good, it would never come up as far as a great movie I discovered myself.
Before Sunset belongs to the latter.
One of THE greatest romantic movies of all time (another being Sabrina). I was stumped the first time, I didn't expect it to be THAT good. I practically see myself in both of the characters and found myself agreeing with every word Ethan and Julie uttered. It's been two years, and yesterday, I got out and finally bought the DVD (took me a while, I very very rarely buy DVDs). Went home and watched it immediately. Second time's still exhilarating, but hey, first time's a charm, as far as movies go.
Ah...memories...Love, passion, desire, one night, one afternoon, and most importantly, "connection".
Words are the life, the soul of this movie. But words can't describe how great it was.

Seen it around, never watched it. THIS good huh? May be I should ..
No question that this movie also tops my list of the best romantic movie of all time, with Sabrina being reluctantly kicked down to the second.
I was amazed of how easy and simple dialogs could be the most captivating element throughout the movie.
Julie Delpy is so so so charming, and I need not to explain why she tops my list of my most favorite actress.
Ethan Hawke? Hmm...never like this guy. I did imagine what if John Cusack replaced him as the actor, what a more wonderful movie that would be.
