Just watched “Before Sunset”, ćelien and Jesse, an attractively portrayed conversation-based rom-com. I barely found that “com” part though, as I felt ,all were so much consolidated in the “rom” part. Felt like a slice of comedy is always there in a true romance. somewhere I feel, I should have watched “before sunrise” prior to it, as it had the part where they fall in love, but this “before sunset” is no less. The streets of Paris, the golden hour, the vintage feel - made the movie’s plot just like my cup of tea. Before watching this, I heard a criticizer complaining about himself saying “Once I did a debate on acting school, telling how unstructured this ‘before trilogy’ is, having only conversations, but as I learnt more, I realized, it’s the most structured one”, and I felt that the whole time while watching. How the whole movie passed exactly with the flow of time – which felt holistic. I have a doubt though. Whenever I watch a romantic movie, seeing the main characters I always feel, how are they so perfect! expressing everything exactly the way, only I could write. Do they overembellish these things in movies or all of you are this expressive? may be I’m only the exception! Well, getting back to the movie, this movie can make you realize how our life can turn out to be if we try to force our decisions (especially when comes to love). I mean, what if Jesse wouldn’t have married, many things would have changed. And about ćelien, when she said that how we are never sure about the man we want! I can’t express how relatable I felt to that. We all think, maybe! Maybe we haven’t met that person yet, even if the person is right in front of our eyes. also I loved how Jesse had known from the beginning that he’s going to miss the flight but yet he was consoling himself that he’s not going to. loved when at the hindermost when she said “you are going to miss your flight” and he replied ,”I know” ,letting her know that he knew. I guess this is very related to all of us, ever been in love. I loved the way they could talk about anything, just anything, for hours- I guess that’s what is being in love feels like  . it lets you free , gives you space to talk about anything , no judging. all I can say is , this movie taught us – if you ever find a person with whom you can connect in this beautiful manner, don’t let them slip away, take their number :D or even if not , don’t worry , universe will create its own way to help you guys meet again ;) I'll give it 9/10.
