Lol, title fail, but I finally got around to watching “Before Sunrise”. I was taking a flight and loaded it onto my ipad. Then after takeoff, I realised I had the sequel, “Before Sunset”. How lucky was I that the in flight entertainment had the one I wanted. Strange coincidence.
I now have the sequel to watch on the flight home. It’s a night flight though, so I might try to sleep instead.
I enjoyed the movie but it wasn’t the revelation I’d hoped it to be. I suppose that was inevitable after having it on my watchlist for years at this point. I enjoyed their banter and their evening but there were too many points where I felt they just continued the plot as planned but real people wouldn’t have. Suspension of disbelief was what I’d hoped I wouldn’t need.
The ‘Before’ trilogy are amongst my favourite series of all time and I never felt, even in minutiae, a hint of sophistry. However, it may be my internal romantic bias rearing its head.
It wasn’t so much sophistry but the level of trust they put on each other after having minor disagreements. I think it was sweet but I don’t know that someone who is basically stranded with no money would continue to gel with a stranger who has misled them about their romantic past. They also shared different values in many parts. It was nice but, maybe it’s the older me, I started to see red flags rather than romance!
I completely understand, where you are now in life will always tint what you think and consume regardless of your attempts otherwise. At their age and time, the world is newly blossomed and everyone’s a friend. It most assuredly helps that neither of them are vapid creatures, shown to be capable of discourse despite dissenting opinions - I only truly recall the one, with the fortune teller. And above all else, they’re in love.

Yes, I think it’s maybe the age and time. People strike me as more cynical now.
