Before Sunrise 說的是法國女孩Celine在回巴黎途中的一列火車上,遇到了背著簡陋行囊漫遊的美國男孩Jesse. Jesse千裏迢迢去馬德裏會女朋友,結果弄了個分手的結局。於是買了歐洲列車旅遊連票,打算用兩個星期的流浪來排解鬱悶的心情。Celine六個月前和男友吹了,很自然的,兩顆孤獨而年輕的心開始交談。Jesse回美國的飛機是在第二天早上,對話的投機,讓他們中途從維也納下車,希望在天明之前,共渡個美麗的夜晚。
影片有很多精采的對話。Celine 說“If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.” Jesse 回:“I have never been anywhere that I haven't been. I've never had a kiss, when I wasn't one of the kissers. I've never gone to the movies when I wasn't there in the audience. I've never been out bowling if I wasn't there making some stupid joke.” 生命的快樂,豈不就是在這樣不斷的嚐試中,浮現。
還有Celine說她很討厭前男友,因為他找借口離開了她。可是她還是會很 obsessed 的關注他,哪怕是為了罵他一聲也好。然後她說“I found that people tend to be obsessed with someone they dislike.” 我實在忍不住笑,因為想到了辛苦爬牆的。。。:DDD
