برخلاف انتظار و شور و شوقم داشتم کم کم از این فیلم ناامید میشدم
تا اینکه قسمت جروبحث سلین و جسی تو هتل پیش اومد
خیلیی خوب بود...عالی

For the last eighteen years I have loved the film Before Sunrise. Shortly after seeing it I found a copy of the screenplay and it became another favourite. That edition of the book is no longer available but you can still see it in a two-volume set with its sequel Before Sunset.

When I watched the film of the third in the series earlier this year I found myself loving almost every other line and felt a need to read the script. After periodically searching online I found this version to download. And I love it all over again.

به نظرم فقط کتاب سوم از فیلمش قوی تر بود.

I'm still a bit confused about the ending.. did Jesse go for his son? or stay with Celine? but I enjoy how the story slowly leads to conflict. Their struggles and debates are so realistic, like what married couples, in general, go through. Some of Celine's dialogues are the exactly same thing I said to my ex and I was a little surprised because.. indeed couples will be like this, and will go through this phase.

Jesse & Celine are more mature in this one but they still talk and have things to say to eachother. However, he effect of time on their relationship is sad. It's depressing how a flame cannot be kept alive for long, that interest, that 'thirst'... some people just find a way around that, some people don't.
I liked it better when it was a one to one conversation.
