From the chat of Before Sunset (2004) (Live + Movie)

irene sent it to me 

Many people around me talked about this film, first are those not in Hong Kong, and later is my Hong Kong friends. As they praised this film so much, I saw it last week.

I had not watched Before Sunrise (1995?), and perhaps lost some fun when I watched Before Sunset. However, I have some thoughts after I watched the long long chat between Jesse and Celine, not because of Celine's American accent.

It is so good for some old friends meet together after losing contact for years, and it is ideal if they can still exchange ideas freely, no matter things about past or present, themselves or others, just like Jesse and Celine did. I envy such opportunities, even though I had enjoyed some before. One of my friends has the 'ability' of talking with me so free, and continually. We talk and talk everytime we meet, and our phone chats seem no end.

In this sense, I understand why Jesse left his plane to home and stay in Celine's home in Paris. It is not only for one whom he loved before, or his bored family life. It is always not easy to have someone you can talk with, and, enjoyably.
