Before Sunset - 6

This is the sequel to Before Sunrise, made nine years later, with characters who are nine years older. In this film Jesse and Celine who met in Vienna as college students, meet again as Jesse is in Paris for a day. They then continue the conversations about love and what ifs about their pasts and futures. The conversation is more focused in this film than in the previous film, mostly because they know each other better and because they are wiser now. They talk about memories and how it changes as time goes by, a great quote is when Celine says "Memories are wonderful things, if you don't have to deal with the past." They also talk about love and the doubts that love really exists. They also go into politics and the idealism that can be lost or revived as time goes by. A good film and a great sequel.
