"To say that my expectations were high after having seen "Before sunrise" several years ago would be an understatement. Anyway, i was sucked into this well-written screenplay by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy. Their shining presence on screen and undeniable chemistry made me fall in love with this academy award nominated picture. Jesse is back in Paris talking about his recently released book about his encounter with a french woman in Paris. During his interview with the readers of his book Celine appears surprisingly. They are reunited, but Jesse has a short amount of time before his plane takes off. Walking around Paris talking about life in a broader meaning Jesse and Celine`s feelings light up again. How changed are they? Is love possible for an American man and a French woman? Richard Linklater has directed a spellbinding fable of love that concentrates mostly on two reunified souls anonymous relationship. I often get the feeling that the whole movie is improvised, and if that was the case it's an even more impressive romantic film. Overall a memorable piece of art that has the elements of a classic romance"

"The art and gift of great conversation; to communicate honestly, fully, deeply where you reveal yourself and your past and everything that you’ve been and are without pretense and worry of being judged. To wear not only your heart on your sleeve but your soul and your guts as well; and to allow another to see you, really see you.

This is why I appreciate ‘Before Sunrise’ and its sequel ‘Before Sunset’ so much. It reminds me of the various conversations I’ve had with people who became friends or became more than friends,argued with, broke up with, reconciled with, let go off, forgot, or rediscovered all over again in a completely different light but a good light all the same.

I’ve had conversations with people that I so wish that I was able to record and document! With friends who at the time felt expansive and then expounded on what they thought life meant or how life should be lived; with ex-boyfriends who shared their childhood tragedies and glories; kasamas narrating how they became activists.Life stories than were told the way some of the most compelling movies were created.

In my my journals I keep notes and descriptions of these various conversations, what made me feel amazed about them, what will forever make me remember them and the persons I had the conversations with."
