"Baby! you are going to miss that plane"
"I know"
This is not cinema. This is poetry.
Cinema was never ment to follow a rigorous formula neither to answer an enigma.
pottery
after i finished the movie i felt like i finished a book.
A great quote by the great Michael Haneke:
“My films are intended as polemical statements against the American 'barrel down' cinema and its dis-empowerment of the spectator. They are an appeal for a cinema of insistent questions instead of false (because too quick) answers, for clarifying distance in place of violating closeness, for provocation and dialogue instead of consumption and consensus.”
Oier, I was trying to come up with words to express how powerful this scene is (and the whole trilogy is), then I read your comment and you said it better than I ever could have.
"I know." he always knew. even when he kept calling and updating his driver, he knew from the moment he saw her again that he was gonna miss that plane.
He already lost her once. Can't imagine all the nights these two had thinking of one another.
100%
This is sweet.
They made twins as soon as the camera switched off.
He hoped, I think; the way Watts hopes she'll end up with the diamond earrings, in Some Kind of Wonderful. 🥰
I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. There was so much anticipation after having seen the first one. For whatever reason, I knew the duration of the movie, and I kept thinking "there's not enough time left for a good ending". I was almost stressed about it, and then ..... this. I can remember thinking that was probably the best movie ending I'd ever seen.
Thought the same thing, yet the ending with that beautiful jazz piano leaves you empty inside
I completely agree with your post! I only just recently saw this movie and the ending left me gob smacked - BRILLIANT ending! Coupled of course with the perfect ending track. After this I watched Before Midnight - what did you think of this one?
You completely wrote what I have had in my mind! Just agree with you! It's breathless... I haven't seen such simple, and such beautiful yet powerful scene of the film. Love, love, love it....♥
it says so much by saying so little. Before Midnight is really a pay off to this vague ending. this is how you do a trilogy.
pretty much the same
Poor Driver hahaha
actually pities the driver when the two were breaking down and pouring out their problems on the way to celine's home lol talk about awkward
I heard he was fired after this
@@emmampusti3728 the driver doesn't speak english so he was fine
@@madprofessional7006 i mean if my passengers were screaming in a language i don't understand and crying i would feeling super awkward still
lol he was
The emotion in his face when she says "Baby, you are going to miss that plane" gets me.
Every. Time.
"I know"
yeah...
And that's like a statement from her. Like "honey, you're staying with me here".
"I know", he said. Then RELIEF-CALM-FEAR-PAIN-HOPE &JOY, flashes across his face. Paradise Lost and Found in both three seconds, and a lifetime. . .Well done, Ethan Hawke, well done.
+Jamaal Joshua well said.
His fingers at his ring too. Such detail to the emotions. As far as I'm concerned, this is real.
Yes I think those emotions would all be playing through. The relief is possibly the overwhelming one though I suspect, now that he has decided what he wants.
Jamaal Joshua Have you seen him in Tape? First act is fantastic; really plays the cocky yet charming jerk (haha) so well-such a great piece of performance
Well he's got 4 oscar noms..
HE TOUCHES HIS WEDDING RING. This is how you make art.
Thanks for noticing it you know it's just feel so bad but at the same time just wow
I never noticed that, wow!
Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. She is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
Nah.
@@lukegibson9410 what are you talking about
"Baby, you ARE going to miss that plane."
This was a direct order from Celine.
Michael Meehan no man I don't think so that it was a direct order she was telling him normally that you are gonna miss that plane she was trying to remind him about the plane but from inside she knows that Jesse will not going to catch that plane he will miss that
I’d take orders from Julie Delphy too.
Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. She is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
That was an order. It was not a reminder.
@@stephenho4368 An order to leave his wife with a kid? Ok.
he's not watching her, he's picturing his life with her.
He nailed it with 2 words...”I know”.
Han Solo style
Fell for him when he smiled saying "I know"
By that point we all knew. 😊
This film's definitely my favorite out of the trilogy! It just wonderfully captures that bittersweet feeling of regret and longing. When they finally and let their feelings take control of the moment, it's such a powerful thing
originaozz It's my favorite, too.They have left behind the turmoil and uncertainty of their 20s, and have yet to encounter the SUCKAGE that is the 40s.And the whole movie is really JUST THEM.I love it!
Sunrise n sunset is the best, I couldn't choose which one is better tho
Love all three but this is my favorite in the trilogy as well
Same! My favorite out of the three as well!!
I agree, my absolute favourite film of all times tbh.
Usually when there's any element of cheating involved I find it disgusting, like I always picture that other person who wasn't the protagonist and wasn't loved. But, this trilogy and the connection bw these two just makes you root for them so hard, you feel the pain of the 10 years lost and how like they're finally happy because they feel their happiest again.
Yeah, this movie is beautiful and even though its rare everyone should strive for that intellectual connection.
Alka Choudhary this is real life great movies 1,2and 3
Wht i admire more is tht years past but they still look at each other like the have known each other these years n yess itss a beautiful movie❤️🍿
Wasn't he divorced? Cheating?
@@redrobotmonkeyHe was still married. Not happily though.
technically there was no cheating involved though, he chose to stay with her but they didn’t even kiss in this movie so, I wouldn’t consider anything they did as cheating.
The way he touches his ring, subtlely leaving something behind.
Great eye
I saw that too.
So is he married?
yellowburger did you even watch the movie?
@@PhucLe-pd4op I did. I was just drunk and forgot.
one of the most sexually charged scenes without showing any skin
The guitar song was better than every romantic song i heard combined
Haha it was funny for me
@Aman dinho Well, kinda sexual considering what we know happened from Before Midnight
Very sexy indeed but to me its mostly lust and infatuation. I can't agree with what seems to be everybody 😅 that they are in love. He barely knows her really.... i do however really appreciate the sensuality of the two first films and great chemistry.
@@taniag3481 people still coming back to this video huh. There is nothing like these movies in terms of the warmth it brings to me.
the flirting was so subtle and which is why it's so beautiful
I thought Celine was joking, was she flirting, bcz she wanted to send him to airport?
Best ending to a movie. Anything is possible!
Really? He left his wife with kids for this woman. Its a superficial scene. Jesse said that he left his wife because of how she sings. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
@@lukegibson9410 are you not tired bringing this up again and again? Copying and pasting that comment to slam Celine's character do not bore you at all?
@@vtrinh97 Right. Are you tired of not having an argument?
@@lukegibson9410 Certainly not since I only had one :))))))
@@vtrinh97 That's not an argument even though you think it is.
This scene has lived rent free in my head for 20 years.
This movie proves, sometimes, less is more. No tacky sex scenes. I love how it ends with the audience filling in the blanks. It's so romantic, and they have such good chemistry...I still can't believe they never got together in real life.
The characters are not the actors and vice-versa. Different people therefore different chemestry, hopes, dreams...
I never understood the need to pair up/ship actors if chemistry of the characters they were playing was great.. I mean isn't this fantastic that someone acts so briliantly that he becomes a completely new person and has a completely own feelings? It's like these characters already existed and just used bodies of Julie and Ethan to express themselves fully..
I found that more beautiful that Julie and Ethan actually dating and then showing themselves on the screen. If not for other reason maybe because I think love is private.
I actually never felt like they had really good chemistry. They are just both really easy to project yourself and your dream partner on to. The acting is great and they are both pretty but the its the ideas in the dialog and cinematography that really made these movies.
It's called acting. Maybe chemistry for lines synchronization.
How ironic. The point of the whole trilogy is to not romanticize what love is. Yet here is one of the most highly voted comments desperately romanticizing love with the typical "the two actors should get together in real life" bullshit, completely missing and contradicting the point of the work of art those very two actors tried so hard to communicate.
What a fucking incredible irony.
Remember when Jesse said there are no laughters, humour & excitement in his household. Well he laughed because of her in her apartment.
Exactly!!!
imagine watching this movie in 2004 and having to wait another decade to find out what really happens with jesse and celine wow i would've offed myself
Haha lol i am watching it back to back
Funny that's the journey I took. I saw Before Sunrise the very first one in theaters on a date when I was in college. Saw this one in theaters as well on a whim as I was alone and was actually going to watch some action flic. I didn't even know they had made a sequel at the time. Saw Before Midnight out on DVD lol, yeah that's how old I am. Over the years and the time it took them to really write and make these films. I feel like I was catching up with old friends. This movie Before Sunset, is probably my favorite among the three. As these characters finally get together, like seeing friends you know should be together finally just be together.
I love that. Its like you're growing up with them. Watching this series in a binge is definitely the wrong way to watch it.
hahaha I only found them a month ago and at first I was like "HOW did I miss these???" and then I was like 'Oh thank God I didn't have to wait to watch the other two!!!"
the third one was horrible though lol
Get you a man that looks at you the way Jesse looks at Celine.
Wanna See Nirvana but i dont want to die yet🎶
Be a woman like Celine then
Careful though--some men practice that look (and yes, guys, I know some women do, too).
Get you a girl who lives her man.as celine does Jesse
Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. She is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
Celine: "You don't want to see me again?"
Jesse: "No, of course I do. Listen. If somebody give me the choice right now of to never see you again or to marry you, I would marry you, alright?"
I can't believe that they basically committed that night and then left everything up to chance, it just kills me
What an ending, I can't believe someone could conceive such a perfect closure. When she says "you are gonna miss that plane", he agrees as he caresses his wedding ring. You know his relationship with his wife is over, this is the love of his life
I mean come on !!!! It doesn’t get better than that !!
The ending of this film fucking _ruined_ me. I staunchly rejected a lot of romance films, and promised myself I'd never be one of those girls who went all gooey over something that happened in them, you know the kind. But the way he looks at her in the very last shot - at about 2:47 - demolished that completely. It's so understated but speaks volumes at the same time, and I just-- _gahhhhh._ This fucking film, man.
Mika Soze exactly same thing happened to me..
Mika Soze Ethan and Julie don't just play these characters. In a way they ARE Jesse and Celine. Both smart, articulate, funny, hopeful people who come to understand each other in a deeper and more meaningful way just in time.
Pablo Almeida Agreed. It helps that they have fantastic chemistry, too.
i seriously feel you on this,in all honesty i dont often give a shit about romantic stuff but i have watched rewatched before sunrise over four times heck i was only able to bear watching titanic once.there's just something about this trilogy that's really beautiful apart from the fantastic chemistry between julie and ethan along with the dialogue.
It's ok to be seduced by beautiful honest chemistry. These films are films for people who don't like mushy love films.
best closing scene ever. the way he looks at her, touches his ring, her being clueless... it's so poetic
I am not sure that she is clueless. There is a change in her mood when she realizes that he is available after all. Here she closes the deal with the famous last words of the movie. The ring is a great touch too.
Yeah she slowly began giving him signals as she realised his marriage was failing, but the hug and silent walk up the stairs to her apartment was like a non verbal statement between the two that they knew what was about to happen
Linklater is a once in a generation director and screenwriter.
Agree.
*BOYHOOD!!!*
*IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE*
This scene makes me cry uncontrollably
I guess it’s the longing of the soul for genuine love
I know. Jesse is so selfish. He left his wife with kids for this woman. Its a superficial scene. Jesse said that he left his wife because of how Celine sings. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
Always ❤
Playing with his ring while saying "I know" adds a lot of gravity to the ending. It's elation and tragedy all wrapped together in one little moment.
Poetry at its deepest and purest shade
Strange isn't it?
Every man and woman loves this movie. We love this scene. We all want someone to look at us the way Jesse and Celine look at each other.
... Yet none of us ever do it.
"Most of us", not "none of us", I can tell you :) And even for those who are lucky enough to have all the conditions met in the course of events that lead to such memorable moments, there is still a price left to pay, if not anything else, the price of having to live with such a sweet memory kept inside your head, knowing the vanishing likelihood it would ever happen again .
Because these days, talking to a girl on a train can get you a nice harassment suit. So many don’t bother.
It's out there, man.
@@alexman378 okay incel
My parents did!! It exists!
Thanks for including the credits. The fade to black is essential.
this is poetry. pure humanity, silence, intimacy, love now in a real way, which is way underrated compared to fantasies we make in our heads.
The way they're having a fairly innocuous conversation about Nina Simone and then he says, "I know." It all comes out in that final line.
There’s something so absolutely magical about this trilogy - not because it’s s simple romcom but like two people who went their separate ways for a while and found each other again years later. Before Midnight was amazing too with its ups and downs of a normal relationship but that’s TRUE love not some fairy tale ending. By far one of my favorite movies
Just recently I remember the first I saw this movie. I was probably 9 or something in 2005/6. My mom was not at home, probably on business trip and my father sleeping in his room. I started half time somewhere when they were on the boat, and was strangely attracted to the title of the movie "love before sunset (in Chinese)" and thought to myself "what is this about, love? Okay let's see what an adult love relationship would be like". And I was slightly keen and expecting some kissing scenes or more would happen haha. Didn't understand much about their conversations by the time, but I was touched by how beautiful they were on the boat, the way they talk, crossing the cannel in that lay-back afternoon in warm sunshine, this I remember. The rest thing I remember is this ending, watching her dancing and he smiled back with stars in his eyes, and she slowly faded in dark, and there I was stoned, didn't know what happened but I KNEW there was something so strong here that you don't need word to describe. And to see this again and reconnecting with all those images in my head, is fancinating how they haven't changed and I have changed.
I remember something similar and powerful as this that happened to me when i was 24. She now is married to a very respectable and caring person with her a year old son. If there is anytime she were to leave that life and comes to me, id drop anything and everything to be with her. Unlikely to happen probably, but I am still happy for her and that special moment i got to know her
Every man understands this scene whos been in love. That moment when your with a girl and you know you are falling in love
Its a superficial scene. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
@@lukegibson9410 you are depressive
@@la_paulita_84 Have you watched Before Midnight? Also, do you think was right for Jesse to leave his wife and son for another woman? I mean, I think you do not know what you are talking about. You are just romanticizing it.
Luke Gibson who hurt you 😂
Run lol
i literally cannot get enough of this ending. the fade to black gets me everytime. its so sublime and in a way surreal to me. they met after all those years somehow and in the end, the love rekindled and voila, fin. fucking hell. so good man.
I'd have easily.....EASILY done the same thing as him. Miss that plane. Don't let her get away again. Perfect ending to this chapter.
Why? Really? He left his wife with kids for this woman. Its a superficial scene. Jesse said that he left his wife because of how she sings. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare Celine actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
@@lukegibson9410 she's the love of his life
@@tinkerbell9282 If that were true he wouldn't have married his wife. Also, now he has a kid. Very selfish attitude masqueraded as romance.
@@lukegibson9410 lol you think everyone gets married for love
@@tinkerbell9282 Really? Where did I said that? A commitment is a commitment, more so if there is children involved. I can see you are just as selfish as he is.
This trilogy has to be one of the most romantic movies I’ve ever seen- not like the typical romcom crap but about two people who were truly destined together no matter how their lives took them in different directions in a while, then before midnight was brilliant in its portrayal of not just happily ever after but with its ups and down and complications but that’s TRUE love. These movies are truly truly special.
The ending says so much without being too much. She acknowledges he’s going to miss the plane but neither of them mind because they both want him to stay. So simplistic yet so powerful❤️
the way he looks at her...
Yeah. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare Celine actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.
@@omarsandoval6743 "Ruin"? I don't see it that way. I'm just exposing pretentiousness.
@@omarsandoval6743 By the same reason you are commenting right now.
@@omarsandoval6743 Oh, Ok, well, to inform. If some one can disprove my assessment then I learn from them. Simple.
This Triology is not Movies, These are Memories for me.
Dad took me to see Before Sunrise. I was about 14. This came out and I was overwhelmed and went after work alone one night. This made me sob my heart out. These two and Nina. Absolutely broke me
ugh just the way he looks at her in this scene. it’s just makes me so nostalgic of something i’ve never even experienced. i love these movies so much it’s just such a realistic portrayal of life instead of another romantic comedy, not that those aren’t great too. i really felt like i knew them personally and i was intruding into their conversations, as if i was apart of their relationship too.
The best 4 minutes in American cinema - still breaks my heart.
She has no idea how much he is enjoying this moment.
It's so obvious by his smile and look in his eyes that he's in love. Such a cute scene.
Simply one of the five best film-endings I ever saw. Superp and so weel played :D
+skywise19 What are the other four?
+skywise19 Yeah, what are the other four ?
and the other four is ?
Can you explain to me why it's so amazing?
I think it's a stunning ending for it's subtlety and originality. They're both conscious of the impending flight, and yet they're relaxing, having tea and chatting about Nina Simone. It's like the elephant in the room which is never addressed, as if that by continuing to talk about anything else they're delaying the inevitable. The fact that they're avoiding it also testifies to how much each of them want to stay. It conflicts with Before Sunrise where they planned what will happen next and how they'll see each other, but here they're just living in the moment. There's no extraneous hollywooding, it's subtle and it's real.
In my opinion, the single best ending to a movie in the history of cinema.
Really? He left his wife with kids for this woman. Its a superficial scene. Jesse said that he left his wife because of how she sings. Jesse here did not know the bipolar and depressive nightmare she actually was. Celine is all sunshine and rainbows until the reality of life kicks in and then she is nasty, mean, and selfish.

"Now you're here now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear I've found my way"
I could watch this a million times. And then a million times more.
Perfect ending for a perfect movie!!
I don't think so. Jesse left his wife with kids for this woman. Its a superficial and selfish scene. Jesse said that he left his wife because of how Celine sings.

There could not be a more perfect movie ending. This song was written for this, I swear
She’s not saying “babe you’re gonna miss that plane you better get going” she telling him “you’re missing the fucking plane” 👌👌
Literally she gave him and order in that moment
This is the best love story I’ ve ever seen
👌🏻
Simply the best movie series I have ever seen. Still waiting for the fourth.
Watching this movie brought back memories of not being able to fully express my feelings to the woman I love. I love this movie because it 120% expresses the sadness and tenderness of love.
"Baby... you are going to _miss_ that plane".
Not a warning. A request. Almost a command.
I've always loved how he says "I know" as if to say "you're damn right I am."
Foolishly watched this at work and now I'm fighting back a flood of emotion. The beauty in this scene reintroduces what it's like being alive rather than simply existing
I couldn’t imagine having to be in that situation😂
I just watched this movie today 20 years after it was published. I was on a short haul plane with 80mins flight. Towards the end, I wishes the plane flew slower. Who else is here in 2024?
This trilogy is the best
The most impactful words of any movie for me is "I know"... imagine telling that to somebody who hadn't seen this
Hypnotically beautiful scene from the most poetic trilogy ever. I have watched the great Julie Delpy do her thing in this magical scene so many times . I don’t blame Ethan for missing his plane at all
You know, there was once this woman, I could look at her for hours, and my heart would fill with joy just by doing that. She said she love the way I look at her. I wish she could read this. I miss her so unbelievably much.
Best film of 2004 hands down. Best love story of the 21st century. Conversation between real people with a believable storyline and a fantastically plausible ending. This is my favourite of the trilogy. Julie Delpy stole my heart away in this film. Ethan Hawke was not this good since Gattaca (1997).
Richard Linklater has made the ultimate love story of how fate can work miracles for two soulmates. Too bad social media has ruined this kind of romantic fiction.
One day people will look back and see how even intelligent and mature people used to fall in love in an intelligent and heartfelt way.
Guys please do not date any woman who doesn't like the Before trilogy 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Celine is my favourite female character in the movies of all time.
quite possibly the most perfect ending to a movie ever...
I love how strong this ending is ... I feel it even stronger than Before Sunrise... There's wanting, there's poetry, there's life... There's the moment... The Before trilogy is part of my favorite movies but I keep this hidden cause it's so close to my heart... Before Sunset is my top out of the three and I am so blessed that I got to trace back most of their paths in this movie as I spent some time living in Paris. It's just beautiful... Beautiful... ❤❤❤
The most original ending scene in the entire life of the romantic movies
Jesse: "I know." (scratches wedding ring)
This gesture right here is kinda painful to watch. It subtly displayed that people are disposable. And one person, in that point in time, was unloved.god!
he explained 10 minutes back that he is in a loveless marriage
Yes I think that’s a subtle subtext and in some ways a difficult reality of human existence. We’re always expendable if the right conditions come up.
@@sahityabk there is always some type of justification to make people believe they are doing the right thing for them.
The performances are quite complex here.
@@SandeepGuptaDoc no I dont think that people are "always disposable." But it is hard to plan everything in life
@@annaa5420 I suspect we are saying the same thing just in slightly different ways.
Stunning! Love the song, the movie, the actors....splendid 5 minutes on youtube!!
I have listen to this song over and over. It never gets old and I never wanted to watch this movie. I wouldn’t know this version if I didn’t watch this masterpiece of an ending. Sometimes I just close my eyes listening to this song and it takes me away.
Sometimes I come back to this scene when I feel lonely, and it gives me hope
“Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.”
Him smiling, “I know.”
On of my favorite cinematic scenes 😭
It had been a long time since I couldn't help but clap for a movie in my apartment.
The way it ends... Feels like this movie has never ended but keep going on and on in every audience's head
Kudos to Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater for fighting to keep this scene intact as originally planned. Everyone wanted the scene changed so that Hawke and Delpy kissed at the end of this scene and Linklater and Hawke knew it had to stay as is. They prevailed thank goodness and the rest is cinematic history. This scene (and the entire trilogy) is stellar.
I remember me watching it the first time on TV. I knew nothing abt this movie, didnt even know there was a prequel to it. I just loved the first 15 minutes where they were talking about life and relationships.....and gradually I realized this is a 'walking and talking' kinda movie, never saw anything like it before. The conversation throughout the movie was very gripping and thought provoking.
Later, I saw the first part, and the 3rd one.
This whole series is one true masterpiece!!
I can’t get enough of this movie❤️❤️
God dammit RUclips.... now I'm crying at work. Forgot how much these films moved me.
whoever chose this song for the last scene....kudos.
I will never forget this movie!
I thought the first one was good, but this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
2:45 In this single second shot Jesse saw the rest of this life laid out in front of him and accepted it; for better or worse he was now tethered to this woman forever. And this was the moment his fate was sealed; in that apartment, with that song, and that look where he says "I know.". To be able to convey that with a single line and 8 seconds of facial expression is beyond extraordinary. Ethan Hawke is a fucking legend.
This film got me out of a relationship. Thanks.
Keeps me out of one, lol
How so? Lol
Rewatched this film twice in the span of less than 24 hours... my actual favorite ever
02:52 that laugh means love ❤
One my fav endings. Best trilogy ever. It’s so realistic. In your 20s u trying figure yourself out n just have fun but what’s bad is when your in your 20s you think you have it all figured out you’re really stupid as they realize in this movie. & in your 30s you confident in yourself, you’re career driven. Ready settle but how they both. Realize that believing when you in your 20s the world is your oysters and there’s a million jesses & celines you will run into when you 30 you realize that was all bullshit and you truly only connect w 2-3 people in your life & to never take that for granted. Jesse realizes he loves his son to death but he’s not happy. His wife doesn’t give him butterflies, or make him stumble truly be his self just being around Celine for 1hr he realizes she puts a twinkle in his eye from as soon as they see each other. She makes him smile n vice versa just by looking at her. There’s no way I’m giving this up a 2nd time. And I love every piece of it.
Then the Nina Simone you found me just in time. So perfect. Reminds me of other fav love movie Benjamin Button. Brad Pitt n Cate found each other when they were supposed to that just gives you hope and faith that 10-20 years can pass and those feelings will still instantly ignite. Man this is so beautiful.
Best closing line in a movie ever:
-"I know..."
From this movie, i found this song, whenever i listen to it, i always feel so safe, loved and it makes me appreciate and cherish every moment on this precious earth. these movies are the best thing that have happened to me and i will always remember them and carry them throughout my life. thank you Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
could you tell which song is this?
RavenTale just in time - Nina Simone
I didn't need the third one. This one was the right ending
I loved this trilogy. When I heard about this sequel being made I was so pleased. Leaving it on the train station was too hard to accept....
I remember watching this for the first time I cried. This was just so abrupt and emotional
This scene is impossibly beautiful always and forever, but it’s only now that I’ve lived a similar circumstance and left it that I can really appreciate what Linklater did with the last in the trilogy, Before Midnight. It doesn’t repudiate how real the connection in this scene is, far from it! But it does ask everyone who finds such romance in this scene to acknowledge that a real relationship can’t just survive forever on an intuitive connection and a few glorious moments, because people are complicated and loving one is complicated too. It’s work, sure, but not necessarily in the drearily Protestant way: if you do it right, and lovingly, it’s a joyful labor, one of discovering more and more about everything that drives the person you love and sharing with them more and more what drives you too. The whole trilogy taken together is the best representation of what it means to really love someone that I think I’ve ever seen, and I love this scene for being one of the high points, but seeing the low points depicted means so much too.
