Well, this is not real. These are two privileged individuals traveling Europe on their parents money and talking about crap. Of course they think this is romantic. They have no responsibilities, job, problems, rent, etc.
This is based on her physical appearance, its superficial. I don't know how people find this romantic. This is not real. These are two privileged individuals traveling Europe on their parents money and talking about crap. Of course they think this is romantic. They have no responsibilities, job, problems, rent, etc.
I am happy to say I went to Vienna this Spring and one big reason was this movie. I visited most of the film's locations but and this record store was the most impactful. while I was inside I played this track by Kathy Bloom just to feel that magic. The highlight was talking to the owners of the store. They told me they met the actors and the director Richard Linklater. the wife's owner told me they built the booth just for the movie. They were very nice to me and even gave me 2 free cds from the store. really incredible experience
@@akshitgupta1161 I went online to search for the film locations! The store is called Teuchler - I think its how it spelled out. Its very close to the cafe wherer they have the phone call scene! good luck!
That's so cool! I went to Vienna last year basically just to visit the film's locations (ended up falling in love with the city as a bonus), but I didn't get to talk to the owners of the store. Visiting the locations was for sure one of the highlights of my trip, specially riding the ferris wheel in the park!
Well, realistic for upper middle class individuals (less than 1% of the worlds population) who can travel Europe on their parents dime while talking crap about changing the world and nonsense.
Luke Gibson Dude why r u being so pessimistic. Of course it has some unrealistic things since it is a movie. But overall more realistic than any other romance movie out there.
Typical 'romantic movies' often used to leave me feeling sad and empty because I always thought that there was no way I could ever happen to experience love in such an exciting and magical way as demonstrated in those movies. And suddenly came this movie making me feel more romanticized than ever, and exactly in this scene it suddenly struck me: this is LIFE! No dramatic twists, no unrealistically exotic places, so basically nothing that is unlikely to happen in your life, just a beautiful city and two sensitive, thoughtful people giving out their thoughts and feelings to each other. This could happen to everyone, people, I guarantee you! Wherever you live, whoever you are. The real magic of love and life doesn’t reside in incredible and dramatic events, but in the spiritual connection between people. You just have to go out to look at the world with your eyes and soul wide open. This movie is a masterpiece, as instead of lying to you it captures the true and sheer beauty of life. Everyone should see it.
When one looks, the other looks away and then it follows again and again. The heat in between would have been so awkward yet so extraordinary....It's been very long since I felt that way
@@lukegibson9410 I think you're letting your life experiences influence your opinion of the movie. In a way it's a testament to the movie's realism. But Celine isn't your girlfriend.
I was blushing the entire time. At one point I literally had to pause this scene cuz I was going crazy blushing as if it were happening to me. This scene is so awkward, so beautiful, so ...God idk ....I mean you can literally feel the tension...and its not that typical sexual tension that they show in flims after which the two characters explode into each other. There is tension , but there's a gentleness and grace and innocence to it which is fascinating. The way they look at each other and then look away, bite thier lips. Its real, its awkward, its perfect .....
Crazy how this scene of them exchanging looks at each other seems like an eternity but it's only a little over a minute. This whole film just feels so intimate and real.
When you experience something like this, life feels like a movie..the start takes your breath away but the end credits hit you so hard..you don't want it to be over but you know it is inevitable..all beauty is fleeting, all love is fleeting, all life is fleeting..
Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself. It's a dream I've had all of my life. To find someone to have an intelligent conversation with, to find a real, true connection. It triggers my emotions like no other film I have ever seen. The ending is so gut wrenching.
I’ll never forget this - watched the trilogy for class for the first time in spring 2023. We talked a lot about this scene specifically and it just so happened by sheer chance that Kath Bloom was coming to our town to perform in a local coffee shop. She played this song and it’ll never not astound me how the stars aligned for both of those situations to happen at the same time.
I think sunrise and sunset were pretty close. The tie breaker for me was Celine's song for Jesse and the final scene of sunset. Just too good. The movie couldn't have ended in a better way
My father had a heart attack in May this year and we spent a week at the hospital. When we came home, he was able to watch the two movies, Before Sunset and Before Sunrise. I wasn't able to see any of the two but he narrated the film to me with visible excitement and happiness. I tried to watch some clips of it in RU-vid and I've come across this scene. I have come to like it since then. In September, unfortunately, he passed away without ever seeing the last movie from the trilogy. I am heartbroken and devastated but songs or things that remind me of my father give me peace.
It's the first time i see a movie without "acting" on it, Ethan hawke is Jesse Julie Delpy is Celine. SUPERB so natural chemistry between them. Not all people realize that the conflict that appear on this movie is Jesse and celine's togetherness vs time, so original.
If you watch an interview with Hawk about it, he reveals that Linkwater said that everybody will say that you and delpe were yourselves, so the acting isnt that big a deal. And that will be the best compliment you will get about your performances. Hawk said this in an interview a number of years back. They aren't themselves
This was posted 17 years ago. Nearly 2 decades ago someone found this movie to be worth posting and it made its way to you by mere chance of shared interests. Beautiful ❤️
LINKLATER That’s the only time I withheld anything from the cast. The lyrics were in the script, but they had never actually heard the song. So you can see them really listening because they’d never heard that yearning, creaky thing in Kath Bloom’s voice that’s so moving. HAWKE It’s probably my single favorite take of anything I’ve been involved with. DELPY That was really special. It was like magic - each time I felt Ethan looking away, I would look at him and vice versa. I almost fell in love with him right there, but then Rick said cut.
This scene is so powerful - you can feel the full spectrum of emotion and awkward beautiful tension. No other film has a scene so intimate where you are drawn into this tight space with them fully feeling what they feel
I come back to this scene every half a year or something, and it always leaves me longing for something, probably a moment like this, and maybe the sadness I feel is in the knowledge that that moment will probably never come. Such a strange, overwhelming feeling I depart with...
The raw intensity of this scene makes me want to just store it in a perfume bottle and use it frequently. Esp on occasions when I am the most lonely in a wild crowd that's far beyond my senses to grow in and understand. I think what i'm saying here is The before trilogy is a masterpiece and i am crazy about this series.
I was in 7th Standard when I first watched this movie. I am from India and since that day this movie is the biggest motivator for me to move abroad in Europe. I now have study offers from several European universities and will be joining one of them soon. Thank you Richard Linklater for changing my life.
Two people falling in love with each other. This scene is impeccably acted. I loved everything about this film when I first saw it in the cinema in Galway in 1995. Delpy and Hawke don't "act" as such; they behave as if they have known and loved each other all their lives: and always will. As for the Kath Bloom song, I had never heard of her but am so glad the film brought her to a much wider audience❤
8 years ago on a fine summer day I met a girl in Vienna. She was from a country in South America, me from Europe and we randomly crossed paths at the MQ. We started talking and decided to spend the day together - it was life imitating art. It was magic. She was beautiful, and I won't ever forget that day. I hope she's doing okay and that she watched this movie.
Sometimes no need to extra loving words,touching ,kissing or hugging for expressing love to someone...feeling the love together inside is so innocent that you wanna live that moment forever.. actors hands down deserve respect with the way showing it on the screen...
As a fan of this trilogy, I must say this scene in itself can bring a little smile to anyone's face, whether you believe in love or not. A masterpiece in its own right
This film is very magical. And the great thing about this kind of magic: it does happen to each one of us in life. Love isn’t meant to be consumed, but rather connects us all and binds the universe together.
can't watch it without tears. so much romantic, peace and lots lots feelings in this scene. beautiful song, beautiful young people. makes me feel never getting old. i love this movie a looooooooot. living life is also a great song!
I've just finished watching Before Sunset and going back to this scene makes me want to cry...there really hasn't been any film that's made me care about the characters as Before Sunrise and Before Sunset have - everything feels so natural and real. Simply superb.
I watched this movie with an ex. I wish I had watched it alone. We used to look each other this way when we were studying together. I still remember him holding me when I cried at the end of the movie. God it hurts so much.
Hard to believe more than twenty five years have passed since I watched alone for the first time this movie back home in South America on the other side of the world and even exactly ten years later I found myself in Vienna visiting all the spots shown in the movie, again alone. No need to say that almost three decades down the road and living in a continent far away from everywhere I am still alone.
I just came back from Vienna. I visited "Alt & Nue" Record store in the movie. When this song turn on in the store....it was the most touching moment in my life!!
Such a poignantly beautiful scene...my favorite in the movie too =) I watched this movie years ago and absolutely loved it; watched it again last night after having gone through a similar experience in Europe this summer (yes it does happen in real life)...and it made me cry cause it hits so close to home...its a beautiful thing to experience, but it breaks your heart when you have to say goodbye...
They express in a superb way the awkwardness of the moment when you would like to kiss someone but cannot manage to find the courage... I like this scene so much.
Many years ago I came to RU-vid and was enraptured by the stories people post in the comments- sharing their lives to music- inviting me into their world, what a privilege it was- this is my own- its about a long lost love- literally- i have no idea where she is now or what shes upto, but two years ago we tried to communicate our love to each other, and she ended up making a RU-vid playlist of love songs whose lyrics and vibes when stitched together read as a summation of all that she ever wanted me to know. It had 12 songs on it, and only today, nearly 2 years after she made this for me, did I go through it all, did I understand something of what she wanted to say to me- my tears roll and my heart soars, because to understand another person is to love. u.k I love you and I always will- this is what I want to say to your letter- this song, this is for you. I live you through those memories now, and maybe some day, one day, we'll sit in a vinyl booth in Prague together as the dawn rises outside. Its right before sunrise right now, and I'm thinking of you. Be at peace babe- You are a gem. You'll always don my crown.
It’s not just the chemistry between them or the writing of the movie that makes it perfect to me I mean this movie is something else It’s an experience, a feeling you live when you watch it I don’t know if it’s just me but i’ve never felt like this before This movie was too deep but i felt it and I understood it I can feel it talk to me when I watched it So many feelings that nobody can imagine and i can’t even describe it I don’t know maybe the way I’m talking doesn’t make sense But I’ve never watched anything and reached me like this before ❤️❤️
The incredible thing about this film is its simplicity in depicting the evening for the two of them. The fact that it is just the two of them walking along the city talking about life, love, reincarnation, feminism, ans so in is just plain marvelous. So many of us seek simple films that get into the reality of life, and depict the true nature of human beings. So many films now get carried away with elaborate sets and special effects, that they often forget the most important piece,the script!
Rick was incredible to capture this deliberate (Hawkman and Delpy in their prime) randomness (Kath's most perfect best ever song)... Cinematic perfection in an era when it was VERY hard to capture.
.... all the fantasies all the dreams have in this scene and find a home ... quite big cinema ... "love is all around" ... and a big compliment to the three protagonists ..julie delpy , Ethan hawks and kath bloom ... I can see the scene 1000 times and still never get enough ...
I remember when I first watch that movie. At the time, it was on VHS. I wished that the movie never ends...it's that kind of movie. I was very happy when I heard there would be a sequel ten years later, then a third sequel. Let's see if the will close the loop with a final sequel.
i dont have words to describe what i felt when i watched this video. It's so...pure and so beautiful, but at the same time, it's hard do believe, how can life do something like this to us. It's amazing, it's life. I wish i could live through this, someday..
I remember seeing this scene for the first time. And in my young mind, I thought "Wow, is that what falling in love is?" I fell in love with the character of Cèline, and envied the character of Jesse. They were such beautiful characters! Much like how I felt in a way for Lelaina, (Winona Ryder) and Troy (Ethän Hawke) in Reality Bites. It was gritty, bothersome and encumbered, but it feels real. I have always tried to recreate how watching these felt for the first time, but alas, it doesn't rise up to that level again.
