Before sunset


Before sunset (a sequel of "before sunrise") happens to be among my favorite romantic movies, in fact second most romantic after "before sunrise ". The movie (Before sunrise) is about two characters, the male (played by Ethan Hawke) on a trip to visit his friend in Europe from America and the girl (Julie Delpy) ,French , on a trip to Warsaw to meet her grand mother. They meet up on a train and decide to spend one night together roaming Vienna as they happen to pass it. Its all about how they spend their night talking and roaming the city. Simple , natural and no make up… literally!

In "Before sunset " the two characters again meet up after 9 years after they had met up at Vienna for one night , in France, and catch up for an evening. Its all talking and nothin else in this movie again, but the whole thing is so very touching an realistic n al. its charming in its own strange way. And the best part is that the characters accept and cling on to that strange yet tacit bond of agreement that they not attached to each other by any means… that is they don need to exchange phone numbers… call up or any sort of thing that kind'a adds up to a typical story (stuff u no…) and yet they have great camaraderie so they can always have a great time when they meet up without worrying about other things.

May be I relate to this movie in my strange way..
I have this school friend of mine. She's all vivacious, bubbly, tomboyish and silky! [;)]. We happen to meet up every once a while or so and have a good time, exchange notes as to what's happening in each others lives and just having a good time. Sometimes roaming around in CP or may be on mall hopping spree at rajouri… et al. The thing that keeps the whole business exciting and well what you call it, rainbow!, is that we rarely ever talk on phone, hardly message or any sort of communication. And hence every time we meet up there's something new to share, some worries to be discussed, some problem to be solved and some really carefree time to be spent. Its these one off meeting once a while is something I really look forward to… and reflecting more on it, I just feel that it is these small moments of carefree neglect is what makes the whole life interesting and every second day... liveable...

And yes, every time we do a catching up.. She or either me has some really urgent thing to be attended so its always kinda… milte he.. "yaar! Aaj bahut kaam hai… need to go early, Before sunset!"

Sure! Before sunset…
