A lot of bloggers have talked about this movie. There is no other movie (except perhaps 2046) can invoke so much feedback recently. I watched the prequel Before Sunrise on TVB Pearl several years ago (it was only shown after midnight). I forget the details in the prequel. Surprisingly, this makes Before Sunset more interesting as I did not have answers to some of the questions Jesse and Celine was arguing (like whether they had sex 9 years ago).

The whole starting point of the story is that Jesse and Celine did not meet as planned 9 years ago. I would have exchanged number or e-mail address with Julie Delpy anytime Julie Delpy is still stunningly beautiful, and has an equally beautiful voice (I surely will get the soundtrack if it gets the waltz song performed by her). Still missed her performance in Trois couleurs: Blanc.

Ethan and Julie were not scriptwriters of Before Sunrise, but became ones of the sequel. I guess it is a lot easier to remember the script if they participated in the writing. (Wait, perhaps there was no script at all … )

Another series of this “reunion after x years” movie which I can recall is A Man And A Woman, which I also watched on TVB Pearl after midnight some years ago.
