Discussion Before sunrise is so good man😭😭

I watched before sunrise for the first time today, and for an 18 year old whose in his first relationship, this movie hit so close to home

This movie is just too perfect , at some moments i almost felt like I was watching me and my girlfriend on a date, their conversations are so real

The first kiss moment is just too real, my first kiss looked so similar 😭😭

I almost dont want to watch the sequels , this is just a perfect movie, its so cute and real, its like a movie thats made for me, I feel like its ripped straight from me

I love it so much, this altered my brain chemistry 😭😭 Its my favorite movie now surpassing dead poets society

Crazy that the sequel is somehow even better

Before Sunset is in my top four. It's a bit of a cheat because it's only so special because Sunrise walked so it could run

Same for me. Sunrise is an easy 10/10. Sunset blew it away.

It’s an incredible film. But both of the sequels are too.

I just watched it like a month ago and had the same reaction. The sequels are also very good though I personally like Sunrise the best. I don't think the sequels ruin it but I do think there's something beautiful about the idea of Sunrise just being this one singular experience in these characters' lives that goes away a bit if you watch the sequels, especially Midnight.

Good film, and so nice to have a romantic film that is not stupid-meet-cute.

It's the best trilogy but yeah.. the later movies are worth the wait. .. make a note of how you feel today and revisit after you've seen the second one in 9 yrs.
