You mean Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke?

They're two of my favorite movies. Linklater is a thug.

Before Sunrise and After Sunrise are not related, MAF.

When Before Sunrise and Before Sunset come out on DVD, I really need to watch them. I've wanted to see them for a bit.

They really friggin rock.... well not so much rock.. but are outstanding dialogue driven character pieces...so kind of like rock.

Before Sunset has one of the best endings I've ever seen.

After The Sunset with Brosnan and Salma Hayek is really good. She looks just as good as she did in Dusk Till Dawn, what a fucking body.

I've only seen Before Sunrise. It wouldn't be a bad movie if the characters in it weren't so god damn stupid.
For example:
Before Sunrise said:
Céline: Have you ever heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to hear each other?

Jesse: No.

Céline: Well, supposedly, men lose the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds, and women eventually lose hearing in the low end. I guess they sort of nullify each other, or something.

Jesse: I guess. Nature's way of allowing couples to grow old together without killing each other. "

or

Before Sunrise said:
esse: Alright, uh, I had this idea, okay?

Céline: Um-hmm...

Jesse: For a television show. Some friends of mine are these cable access producers, do you know what that is, cable access? (Céline shakes her head) Umm, I dunno... Anybody can produce a show real cheap, and they have to put it on. Right? And I have this idea for this show that would last 24 hours a day for a year straight, right? What you do, is you get 365 people from cities all over the world, to do these 24-hour documents of real time, right, capturing life as its lived. Um, you know, it would start with uh, a guy waking up in the morning, and, uh, you know, taking the long shower, eating a little breakfast, making a little coffee, you know, and, uh, reading the paper.

Céline: Wait, wait. All those mundane, boring things everybody has to do everyday of their life?

Jesse: I was going to say the poetry of day to day life, but, (Céline starts laughing) you know, you say the way you say it, I'll say it the way I say it...

Céline: (laughs) I like that.

And this was just the first ten minutes of the movie. I love Linklater as a director, but his writing is so sophmoric that it really irratates me.

eh, for a movie that's 90 minutes of dialogue, 30 seconds of weakness was fine by me. besides, i liked the couples getting older line. if you want to bash linklater for sophmoric writing, lets talk about tape.

I've never seen tape, however those two quotes cited were just samples of the type of dialouge that runs through the entire film. That being said, I can understand why people would like the movie. Great acting and good shots of Vienna can go a long way.
