    A modern classic, indeed!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 9, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Before Sunrise (1995) review helpful

    "Before Sunrise" is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I too discovered it by accident about four months ago and I haven't forgotten it. It is conceivably the greatest movie romance I have ever seen. Yes, it is talky, plotless, inconsequent...ial. And yet, as in Linklater's previous works ( the masterpiece "Slacker", "Dazed & Confused"), its absolute perfection lies in capturing, what Jesse (Ethan Hawke) in the filmdescribes as, the "poetry of day to day life". The film is very ambiguous and subjective and ultimately benefits from repeated viewings; each time I see it, I discover new things, certain emotional nuances I wasn't previously aware of. It resonates with me in a way I cannot put into words. But what I primarily love about the film is its astonishing simplicity, its honest manifestation of youthful innocence and splendour. Such beauty and innocence is rare among movies. Not to be missed. Read more Less

    Don't miss if you like all-time great cl

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 20, 2002

    This is one of the most beautiful and exquisitely poetic romantic films of all time. Don't miss it if you love all-time great classics. It demands patience and understanding; some may be put off by the ingenious ending, but with those with the right ...kind of imagination, it ends perfectly. The evanescence of a magical romance that lasts one night becomes a parallel to the evanescence of watching a great movie. Just like those all-time great classics, it has a beginning, middle and the inevitable end. A perfect film! Read more Less

    Intense...Pure...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 9, 2001

    I still wonder if Celine and Jesse did reunited in Decembre... the final moments before the separation... an avalanche of fellings...I had never heard about this movie until one night when i saw it on TV. I was zapping around until sunnely a strange ...scene of a German couple dispuit called my attention... no wonder... a marking film was only starting... I have no doughts in descriving this film as my favourite film of all times... Intimist,inteligent,hones
    t... see it... and let the dialogs and the Vienna sites take you to a journey in to the beauty of feelings... boy meets girl... and a 14 hours time romance leaves you forever feeling that love between sensible persons like Jesse and Celine is probably the supreme image of emotion... a magic moment... a tremendous film... a light in the dark... they talk about thougts, their ghosts, their lives..., and all very Intense and absoulutly Pure!I'm in love with this movie...A final word: see "Before Sunrise"...and tell me what you think!Shinegate

    A modern day classic......

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 28, 2001

    This is a very good dialogue based movie. There are not many characters but the supporting characters give great performances while they are on screen. The two main characters though are the stars of the movie. They simply get it perfect and you feel... almost as if it is actually happening as you are watching it on screen. Watch it several times and you will reveal more hidden gems each and every viewing. Read more Less

    A must see movie for all young people

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 13, 2000

    we all have some romantic projections in our lives. If the movie reflect and portrait our dreams, why not see it as many times as possible. A good movie to see with our love ones.

    Perfect Romance

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 16, 2000

    This movie reminds me that romance is still alive. It is dialogue based and melow moving, but never loses your undivided attention. A beautiful and mystical romantic journey. Julie Delpy will charm your pants off.

    Best love story...next to Romeo&Juliet!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 19, 1999

    What can I say other that this movie captured me! Ethan was very great in this movie. Julie was more of an Oscar deserver. To all those who haven't seen it, buy it then watch it. You won't need the recipt either!

    Before Sunrise is great!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 13, 1999

    I first saw it on TBS about a year ago and it has become one of my favorite movies. Ethan and Julie have great chemistry and really make the movie special and real. That is one of the reasons that I like it so much. The movie is so realistic. It see...med as if there was no script. It was so real and it renewed my hopes that something like that will happen to me one day because it happened to them. Before Sunrise is one of the best movies that I have ever seen! Read more Less
