So, someone bought me "Before Sunset" for christmas - the sequel to the movie "Before Sunrise", which is one of my very favorite movies ever.

They don't have any special effects, there aren't huge sets - all filmed on location - but Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have some of the best dialogue, some of the most natural dialogue, in the entire world. It's a love story, but it's not - it's a story about people connecting in a world where that happens so rarely.

Anyway, so I was a little hesitant to watch Before Sunset, because what if it wasn't as good as the first one? what if they don't manage to find what they need to say? And then I saw that Ethan hawke had written the screenplay, but that's not necessarily true. In the featurette, he said that he, the director, and Julie Delpy were trading emails back and forth, writing a scene here, a few lines there, and then Julie Delpy wrote forty pages of dialogue and that got them started in a big way.

they wrote it together, and it's everything it should be. I'm so happy with it. Before Sunrise was a story about one night, two people fell in love in Venice. Before Sunset is about how those people didn't forget, and how - now that they're in a different place in their lives - they can be something else. Anyway, watch them.
