Nicholas's admiration for "before sunrise" and his admiration for Hugo. This is not unexpected; To everyone's surprise. Nicholas used it in such a poetic way. The essence of the film is presented to all readers. His understanding of the subject matter of the film is so profound and special. So much so that people can't help but want to read it repeatedly. It's like the movie "Before Sunrise".

Nicholas wrote a sentence in the frontispiece. It's a movie to savor. It's like a glass of red wine. Only by really calming down. In order to feel the beauty of the light dance of the tip of the tongue. ”

This phrase is so simple, so nonsense, so boring. But it sums up the advantages of "before sunrise" so vividly and truly.

The Los Angeles Times gave it a high score of 9.5. This is for a bold and innovative film. It's almost the highest compliment, if not a 10 out of 10. But in fact. Critics who arrived in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival spoke highly of the film "Before Sunrise." Take Rogerbert, for example.

Roger Burt is one of the most authoritative film critics today...... He has always been a top supporter of Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival. Every year he is sure to arrive in Park City for the film festival. And do your best to write reviews for each entry. Because deep down in Roger's heart. His love for cinema is the most important thing. There are many classics that can be found in independent films. He longed for the world to discover these classics.

Let's say "vulgar", and "before sunrise."

"It's a very special movie. It is different from the practice of creating illusory dreams, bubbled romance and bizarre plots in general romance movies. Director Richard Lockette and screenwriter Hugo Lancaster use a simple and rustic plot. Multi-angle and multi-layered dialogue and a slightly lazy misanthropic idealism. It is a classic that will definitely stand the test of time.

Lines. This is the only narrative device of the film. Rather than being image-dominated in the traditional sense. A linear narrative with a flat and direct narrative is adopted. It tells the story of a pair of young people who spend a wonderful night together in Vienna in a dialogue-free manner. It starts with the meeting of a man and a woman on a train. It ends with the breakup of two people at the crack of dawn. Space is very limited. Time is shorter than ordinary love. Such a small and ephemeral time and space. There are only two protagonists. But the story is told vividly. It shows the quality of the work.

Men and women come into contact from the very beginning of their encounter with a conversation. The conversation continued throughout the night. They talk about life, love, marriage, family, life and death, religion, fate, men and women, themselves...... They put the eternal topic of human existence into the casual conversation of a romantic couple. Let the audience have a further understanding of the two protagonists of the movie in these dialogues. At the same time, through these exchanges, we examine our current situation and dilemmas.

The whole movie is within a hundred minutes. It's all spent chatting and walking around the two protagonists. There are no twists and turns and ups and downs of the average romance movie. There are only long paragraphs of dialogue. There are no entertainment functions and features of ordinary romance movies. But that's exactly what happened. But under the profound expression of the director and the two protagonists. It makes us feel the dialogue; A powerful role as the most important component of the script.

The setting of the two protagonists of the movie is very distinctive. One is a sensual woman living in Paris. One is an American man living in New York. The differences in regional temperament and the imprint of local culture are gradually reflected in the following time and time again and again. The romantic delicacy of France and the pragmatism of the United States, the sensuality of women and the rationality of men show a strong contrast. This contrast also adds to the drama. It deepens the theme: the sources of difference in love are deep-rooted. But it's this difference that makes each other attracted to each other. All while maintaining their individuality. This is the only way to complete the love puzzle.

Thereupon. When conversations, conversations, and conversations happen to these two people. Countless sparks burst out. From not knowing each other to becoming inseparable lovers. The two people talk about everything and communicate everything, and they dispel their inner anxiety, confusion and even fear. Their dialogue is simple and casual. Unintentional and unpretentious. But inadvertently conveyed his truest thoughts and the appearance of his soul. Two people in the process of communication. While carrying out abstract spiritual speculative discussions. On one side, the love between two people spreads, ferments and deepens with the gentle night. Linklater's way of conveying to the audience is far more important than 'alcohol, drugs.' product and chaos. Sex;.

Although the plot of the story is as bland as water. But Linklater still set up different scenes and different characters in the streets and alleys of Vienna. So that people don't feel bored at the same time. It also reflects the cultural and romantic heritage of Vienna. It has become the starting point for the collision of ideas between the two protagonists.

From train to bus. From record stores to coffee shops. From roadside benches to open grass areas. Just like that, the two of them chatted and chatted. While passing through one unfamiliar scene after another. It's very symbolic -- in our lives. There will always be some stages that have been passed. When looking back. The past, which I once thought was unforgettable, was nothing more than a splicing of some trivial and small fragments. Sometimes it's not a pity to miss something. Because deep memories cannot be produced without in-depth understanding; Sometimes we have something but don't cherish it. Instead, I get bored because it's too familiar.

People are so contradictory. And Linklater cleverly places a pair of characters in the middle of a defamiliarized scene. The resulting novelty will excite the other two protagonists. Feel the value and significance of the deposit. So the story has a basis for continuation.

Under Linklater's tandem. Jumping out of the sensual stimulation that Hollywood movies have always pursued. It presents a work with a difference for the audience. The movie is full of non-material things such as life, dreams, and philosophy. Some are esoteric and some are boring. But it is precisely the element that happens in our lives every day. Thereupon. When dialogue becomes the theme of the movie. There is no sense of life and death. There is no romance of the mountain alliance and the sea oath. There are no ups and downs in the plot. But men and women still reached a tacit understanding in this exchange. It starts with the dull and ends with the dull. But the charm hidden in the picture makes people linger for a long time.

When they tempt each other. After all kinds of complex emotions such as evasion, hesitation, worry, fear and heart, I finally accepted each other, and completed the unity of body and mind on that beautiful and charming night in the park meadow. When the audience is full of thought that this will be the perfect ending to a romantic love story that everyone will be happy with. Linklater gave another unexpected but reasonable open-ended ending.

The last moment when a man and a woman say goodbye to each other. They didn't leave contact details. Instead, it was agreed to meet on the same day at the Vienna railway station on the same day six months later. Although the audience was surprised. But it is completely in line with the romantic characteristics of these two young people's penchant for complexity. But here's the thing. Linklater didn't tell us if the two of us had met after half a year.

The suspense left by Linklater returns to calm with that set of empty shots at the end of the movie. It's as if nothing has happened. When writing the script. Lancaster jumped out of the ordinary love story and lived happily ever after; The old routine. Trying to explore more metaphysical things in the form of a love story. Love is just a means.

As the ancient Greek philosophers said. One cannot step into the same river twice. The encounter, acquaintance, acquaintance and love of a man and a woman. At that time, when the country was changing, things were not people. Will they have 'the only way to be ordinary' at that time; What about the feelings? But time can't be turned back after all. All assumptions can only stay in the psychology of the audience. Let them supplement with their different life experiences.

Woman says to man at night. It's like we've been together for a while. It's just us. It's our own creation. It's like I'm in your dream.

The movie is over. The audience's aftertaste has just begun. This is the greatest charm that Lancaster gives this film.

Finally, I have to talk about the acting skills of the two actors. The film's lots of long shots and dialogue are a huge test. But not only did this not make the director and actors timid. On the contrary, it perfectly shows the deep artistic grasp of the two actors. It's a classic

The whole movie revolves around them. The camera follows the two men completely. But it doesn't give the audience any sense of unreality. The fluency of the lines is like the norm of everyday life. Pull each other from strangers to each other. to parting with reluctance. The scale of the performance is just right.

I especially enjoyed that show of two people in the record store. In that small space in the listening room. The lens has always maintained a bottom-up shooting angle. We're in such a 'thin air; The two people are seen to be attracted to each other and keep their distance reservedly. While enjoying the gaze of the other party. On the one hand, I can't help but catch the bits and pieces of each other's eyes. The whole standing is vividly embodied in a long shot. This is not a kind of heart-pounding romance.

Under the test of one long shot after another. The two actors, Lancaster and Theron, showed everyone their understanding of the characters. And those little details are even more amazing. The small action of Lancaster when he couldn't see Theron because of his hair obscuring him raised his hand and swept Therlon's hair behind his ear. Just such a small detail makes people throb. This is also an important factor in the success of the film.

Once again, Lancaster delivered an amazing show. The man's casualness, uninhibitedness, childishness, chic, melancholy, and entanglement are delicately and vividly outlined in his eyes and the corners of his mouth. Before you realize it, you will be deeply fascinated by him; And Theron's performance was a big surprise. Woman's sexuality. Sense, lazy, small-tempered, delicate, free and easy, mature in Tongguò's charming eyes have fascinated countless people.

Is love eternal or instantaneous? In the movie, two people don't have time to choose, and time draws a deep ditch between each other. They catch up on time. Hope becomes eternal in this moment; They are also waiting for time. Because goodbye has already been said. Goodbye has become an inevitable end. They enjoy encounters that are as unreal as dreams. They are also constantly struggling and crying for help under the pressure of reality.

It's the tension of time. It is also the power of reality. Lancaster shows such a true meaning with a romance movie. That's what the script is about. That's what movies are all about. The aftertaste is long. ”。 ）.
