Before Sunrise Comparison


Anyone whose watched both these movies would see the parallels with the start of this and Sunrise. Two young people from completely different backgrounds meet by chance and share an unforgettable day together. There the similarity ends but coincidently Julie Delphy is in both movies. Coincidence?

Before sunrise had brilliant chemisty between the two lovers whereas this film failed dismally to the extent why i wasn't sure why Barbie even put up with Richard when he obviously irritated her so. She is supposedly naive but just comes across as a cold-hearted bitch.

I concur. I felt that in the opening scenes of the movie and 'Before Sunrise' came to mind instantly. And remember that in 'Before Sunrise' Jesse let Celine go which was unbelievable, well, for me.
Richard's heart is pure and he's maybe one of the most loveable characters ever (him trying to drug her scene should've been deleted, just doesn't fit). He comes from a small town, only wants to be with her cause he fell in love after spending an incredible day with her and he's even ready to clean pools for the rest of his life. All that he wants is Barbie. I disagree with the other part of ur observation. She, on the other hand, is very ambitious person who just needed time to see how great person Richard is and most part of the movie she's in denial about Patterson, cause he's her only connection with film industry. Yes, Richard irritates her, but I think she's more irritated in fact that she can't find someone like him in LA, someone who can pull a few strings and ensure her a role in a movie, someone who won't ask anything in return... And in the end she finally got it right, realized what her priorities are and proved that she's not just cold-hearted bitch, but a very romantic girl. She said 'When I get married I want to mean something' and then she proposed.
All in all - one of the most romantic movies I've ever seen!

Would you watch the film?
