The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I'd both read and heard some really positive reviews of Before Sunrise and was looking forward to it. In large part I also feel there are some special elements to this film - the idea of meeting and being captivated by a stranger on a train and spending one magical, impactful night together, some really thoughtful and interesting dialogue, and an honesty of expression between the two main characters, all good and appreciated. However, I do have one major issue with this film, that it didn't know when to end. Unlike the two lead characters who at the films conclusion know not to force anything or attempt to take things too far, the director unfortunately extend things beyond their natural reaches to the film detriment. I sincerely think that with some prudent editing down this film could have been much stronger. I'm happy for those reviewers that were touched by this film and hold it in such high regard, sadly I am not one of them.

The dialogue of this movie is a very touching and important part. It really moved me. I mean, I can kiss more than a few person, I can have sex with more than a few person, but, for things deep down in my heart, I can only talk with the person who truly know me, who I believe, who I really love. And the two main characters are really pouring their heart out to each other. That is real love, the person who wrote the script has surely done a great job. There are many romantic films, this one is different, because this one feels real. Most of the romantic films focus on passion, which is totally different from love, in my personal opinion.The reason why I give this film a 10 star vote is partially my personal experience. This movie does remind me of myself 4 years ago. When I was in love with her, just like the two main characters. Everything in this movie feels so similar! The happiness, the romance, they are just what I want and what I have had! At some point I even thought this is a movie about myself, because our such similar experience. We split up about two years ago, for some reason. So, very reasonably, after 2 years, I cried again, loudly. I thought 2 years is a period of time which is long enough for me to forget her, and my desire for love and happiness. And, thanks to my rotten life, I did forget her, because I was to busy taking drugs(I mean legal drugs, like alcohol or something), and I thought I've forgotten the desire for love and happiness too, until I see this series of films. I suddenly realized that I've been lying to myself for 2 years, the truth is that I always want love and happiness, It is truth before, it is truth now, and it probably will be. What I all had been doing was using alcohol and excitement it brings to me to keep myself numb, to escape from the truth. I thought these little tricks would made me feel better, but NO! It only made me more angry, more exhausted and more miserable. I should have been there to meet her at seaside that morning, instead of being so drunk that I can't wake up and step out of my home! Hope I will see her again. This movie did wake me up, and that's a great help.Excuse me for my bad English.
