FIRST TIME WATCHING THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY Wednesday. Enjoy the day!
I love this movie but I prefer Before Sunset
You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend - those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
speaking of ethan hawke, "predestination". nobody has ever reviewed it and yet its the greatest sci-fi love story of all-time.
love your content , but their wardrobe reflected the 90's era greatly the more disheveled look the care free attitude if anything I think it says more about the characters that they don't need to impress through flashy clothes but everything hinged on their conversation, because when your too busy looking cleaned up and dressed in your 20's it takes away from the organic style of the movie. plus I loved the 90's style. the women imo in the 90's had more natural beauty than the colored up makeup mannequin looking women of today!!!
I love your comments during the montage at the end of the movie. Beautiful words to live by.
"is this entire film be about them just chating"
actually this is entire trilogy xD
These movies are one of the most real things I've ever seen in cinema history. So deep and so beautiful.
an amazing movie accompanied by an amazing reactor, hype to watch this one.
Made my day, thank you!
I really enjoyed your reaction to this lovely film. I also really liked his idea of a TV series that is an episode every day of a different person's life. When I was in my early 20s riding public transit, I'd often fantasize about asking random strangers if I could go home with them for the day and just observe what their lives were like for a day. I'd become almost overwhelmed with that desire. Years later, I still find myself wondering what would've happened had I asked. I think being a young disabled femme made me worry too much about my safety to actually follow through with it, but the desire is still there. I just want so badly to understand other humans better. I also have a fascination with storytelling, becoming a cinephile at a very young age and turning to photography to tell my own. Stories were my friends when I didn't have any. Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching you react to the other two films. Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts!
Also, it’s worth noting that this film is by Richard Linklater, the guy who directed Dazed and Confused
One of my favorite movies of all time. Only surpassed by Before Sunset.
THANK U THIS IS MY FAVORITE!
Of course! ♥️
I love this trilogy
Great movie - great Trilogy. Definitely one of the best romance movies ever.
Greetings from Vienna
Watch Linklater's 2001 film _Waking Life_ next. It features the second cinematic appearance of Jesse & Celine before their next installment _Before Sunset._
These films have been personal companions through the decades & are the best romantic movies ever made. Cool that you're hitting 'em.
Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy rewrote and modified most the script as they were going along in order to make it feel the most natural, and I adore how well it turned out. You definitely should check out the next two films in the trilogy because it's more of this same beautiful symbiotic energy.
Unpopular opinion: This is the greatest triology in cinema.
I'm with you.
The only trilogy where the three films are masterpieces, the maximum artistic representation of the word love
That’s not as unpopular as you may think.
Agreed
i...... agree?
Such an incredible Trilogy of films, every one is top tier filmmaking.
So excited to get to them all!
@@JamesVSCinema you are in for a treat. Spending time with these characters is just a wonderful experience.
@@mattyoung7415 corrected lol
Ok James I cannot tell you how glad I am you’re watching this movie. It means alot to me, and is sitting as my third favorite movie of all time
Wow I’m super happy to hear this man!! Thank you for the long time support 🙏🏽♥️
@Randy White The Social Network and Her :)
@@mclovin457 Absolutely loved Her (it's in my top 5 favorite films) and the Before Trilogy is a masterclass in romance. However, I could never understand the praise for the Social Network for some reason. I definitely can see the great filmmaking there, but I was never grasped by the story or compelled by the themes.
@@guts1258 Thats Totally fair, I of course respect your opinion on it. A big reason for why I love it so much is that it was the first movie I watched that made me genuinly interested in filmmaking. First time I searched up names of the director, Writer, cinematographer, composer and editor. So that is a big reason why
As cynical as I can be, this film always warms my heart and cemented Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke as some of my favorite actors ever.
They are so damn good!
I’ve always classified myself as a ‘hopeful cynic.’ I believe in goodness & hope. I want to see the best in others & wish love, joy & good things upon everyone.
But all you have to do is spend a few minutes on twitter to know that very few people are running with kind of outlooks on life.
Being a cynic makes it a little more difficult to be quite so disappointed by the human race, though I am constantly in awe of all the things people do that baffle & dishearten me.
Loved Ethan Hawke’s perfectly jerky character in Tape and the claustrophobic feel of that movie in general
This movie contains:
No fighting
No crying
Only romance
Mind-blowing now that you've mentioned that this romantic film doesn't involve crying. Filmmakers seem to find it kinda hard to disassociate the two nowadays.
So basically it's a play posing as a movie.
If you look through all of Linklater’s films (The Before Trilogy, Boyhood, Dazed and Confused) all make magic out of the Mundane. That is why Linklater is a king
I can relate to the movie because I lived throughout Europe in my teens and early 20's in the early 90's and man let me tell you it was so awesome just traveling by train and meeting so many different people of cultures and backgrounds. people back then were so open to talk and just have a chat nowadays people are paranoid and won't talk so. much unless you're texting someone and that is just a sad depiction of how technology in some way is destroying the most simplest most organic thing....conversation and meeting people.
My absolute FAVORITE trilogy. Enjoy the ride and thanks for checking it out!
Always my man!!
I demand you do the whole trilogy so we get your reaction over the course of the story! It would be such a good trio of videos
Noted!!
Jesus this notification alone just made my day
If you liked this, you should Check out
In The Mood for Love
Dir. Wong Kar-Wai another great romance
Seconded 100%!
Oh God, I love this movie, my favorite out of the three. Those final shots of the city where they experienced all those moments together give me chills down my spine and a strong sense of melancholia... the script, the dialogue, is so organic and realistic, their chemistry is ever present. I love this
So damn good!! Loved this idea
"Is it weird that I really dig this?" ... it would be weird if you didn't! :)
in my opinion this is a romance done right, its a rarity nowadays with dating sites which has sucked out all the spontaneity and wonderment in getting to know an individual. this movie is beautiful and spectacular at its core in the way that it shows the vulnerability of two people and the curiosity and attraction but all through just pure conversation, and we get to watch a romance grow in its most organic way, not tainted by technology; what you are witnessing is something that has become so archaic these days because of smart phones and that is the lost art of conversation. that's why I appreciate and love this movie because it brings me back to a time when people did things this way instead of dating sites which imo has really put a damper on romance as a whole.
Dating sites are great for hookups, not 'romance'.
I remember you said on your Call Me By Your Name video that it made you both scared and excited to like fall in love in a foreign country, and this is the exact same lmao
Hahahaha good catch!!
This might be my favorite romantic film. The characters are in their early 20s here and the next one was filmed 9 years later when they are in their early 30s and then 9 years later is the 3rd with them in their 40s. It is just an amazing opus to take 18 years to film these actors to cover a romance in different stages of life.
You may really love Eric Rohmer's films if you like this - they are films where "nothing really happens" but they are beautiful. I would start with my favorite, A Summer's Tale.
Someone's actually reacting to this great movie? This is why you're among my favorite reactors.
It’s so crazy to me that this and the whole of the “Before” Trilogy has me entranced in something as simple as a conversation, like the movies are just snapshots of couples, but the writing is so great that talking can be so compelling, movies doesn’t always need Big CGI or Action
Something I adore is that Richard Linklater(the director) said he never understood the whole show dont tell, and said he always thinks having characters just talking about their feelings are way more interesting, and I think it really shows here
Damn, never thought someone would react to this, easily in my top 5 fav movies. Good stuff
I gotchu 🙏🏽
@Randy White Something like Before Sunset, Lost in translation, Blade Runner 2049, Her and Baraka. I know that is 6 movies but Her and Baraka are pretty much tied on 5th place. What are your favorite movies? :)
@Randy White :D I feel you, it felt hard to narrow it down to 5 movies. Good list, have seen about 75% of those movies, all really good/great. I have to add the rest to my watchlist, even though reading books has lately taken my movie watching time slot :D
This movie is based on a real interaction the director had with a girl in Philadelphia, and he made the movie in hopes that she would see it so they could possibly meet up again, but unfortunately the girl died in a motorcycle accident a year before the movie came out :(
As a long-time traveller, I agree with your not-staying-at-a-resort stance. The best tip I can give anyone who wants to travel the world by themselves is: avoid hotels and find a good hostel instead. If you don't like sharing the room and can afford it, a lot of hostels have private rooms available, and this isn't about travelling on the cheap. It's just that the experience on common areas is the best in hostels: everyone there has the same mindset of meeting new people and getting new experiences.
Like you, I think every boy fell in love with Julie Delpy’s character. I’m still jealous after all these years. Take the red pill and get on that train!
you watch the best movies! every one of my favourite in every genre almost, how is that possible?
Great minds think alike my friend.
I was 17 when this came out and watched it then. Therefore I've been pretty close to their characters age throughout, each one hits me and brings me back right at the age when I saw them.
Maybe the best screenplay ever written. It's so benevolent. I feel like me after seeing this movie is a better person than I was before and that's a very rare and beautiful thing. Also I love that you noticed the depth of a normal conversation. I feel like when a character expresses some profound thought they're merely approximating the meaning behind it. A person who is speaking in more mundane terms tends to be more honest about the profundity behind their words. True depth tends to come from someone who isn't reaching for it. I like your description of it as a spiral.
I also had an experience very similar to this with an Israeli girl in Peru. That's what it's often like with those transient traveling relationships. There were definitely romantic feelings between the two of us that we never took to a physical place because we knew that our time together was impermanent. We're still in touch and I miss her every day.
I actually live 4 blocks from the CAFE and 5 blocks from the RECORD SHOP - both look the same all these years later in Vienna
Great review!
If i didnt have such bad social anxiety and hard time making conversation I would love to strike up conversations with people 😭
I'm thrilled you've started this incredible trilogy, one of my all-time favourites! Another one of my favourite chatty romances is When Harry Met Sally from 1989 - highly recommend it!
Bro I was looking for reactions to this film and couldn't find any. You always come through with the reactions yo🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yessir!!
We can tell you like a movie when you look like a proud grandpa in the thumbnail.
These films were such a pleasant surprise! Hands down my favorite depiction of love in film and how it evolves. Also the approach to the films by Richard Linklater was so unique but worked for the film so well.
Damn good film to check especially coming off from The Hunt
It really is a great film. It has always had special meaning to me as I too, an American male, fell in love in Vienna, in the 90’s, and now make it my home (since 2007). Truly one of the greatest places to live, IMO.
I'm so excited for this. I love this trilogy and I can't wait to see your reaction. So happy to get this notification.
Will definitely be getting to them all!
I wonder if James has seen In the Mood for Love, Chunking Express, or any of Wong Kar Wai's films? If not, highly recommend them!
Although all three of these movies are among my favorites, especially the first one which I am emotionally very attached to, I always thought Julie Delpy's lines in this first movie often came out feeling very scripted. What's in the script is nevertheless very truthful and authentic, so never bothered me much. I imagine the language barrier is what's the main cause of this, or maybe it's just me. Still love their relationship and all 3 of the movies though. Excellent choice, James!
"You GOTTA take off that Jacket BRO!! You sound like a classic Haunted House!!!" LOLOL I'M DEAD💀☠👻
I was so mad 😂😂
Please good sir, what was the intro music that was playing in the background while you were introducing the movie?
Thank you for filming this. Before Sunrise, and the other films in the series, is a masterpiece. So simple, yet so effective that they stay with you.
I don't know if you take film recs, but if you do, here are some I think you should check out. Judging by the movies you've previously watched, I think they'll be right up your alley. 🙂
Taking Woodstock by Ang Lee
Two Days in Paris (and, Two Days in New York) by Julie Delpy - Similar to the Before series but with a lot of humor.
Winter's Bone by Debra Granik
Spun by Jonas Åkerlund
Any heterosexual male (or homosexual woman, I would suppose) who says they DIDN'T fall head over heels in love with Julie Delpy is lying. My heart absolutely ached for her. Still does. Just don't tell my wife (I'm kidding - she knows. lol).
Me (a bisexual girl),falling in love with both of them😌😌😌
My absolute favourite trilogy, I am so happy that you were smitten with them the same way that I was when I first watched this film a decade ago. Enjoy the ride!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and may well be my favorite romance of all time. It's just two people talking to each other and falling in love. What more do you need?
I'm ngl, I went into this movie with great expectations and while I liked it, I wasn't able to find it as great as everyone. There's some beautiful moments, the acting and chemistry are good but the dialogue didn't stick the landing for me, I hate it when people use this word, but I did find it a little pretentious at times. To me at least it felt like the writers used Jesse like "oh yeah, I'm this 'intelligent' man who talks about weird and deep stuff that no one else talks about" and Celine is written as this ideal (for Jesse at least) woman who finds the stuff he says interesting.
I couldn't help but to think during a lot of parts "who the hell talks like that?". Where I'm from we would probably call Jesse a "mamador" lol. Idk, the movie felt to me like it was Ted Mosby's wet dream or something simmilar.
I mean she's french and he is a writer. They gotta be somewhat pretentious lol
This is a love story that is based on a night Linklater spent wondering around Philadelphia with a woman he randomly met.
My man James is already making a reference to True Detective with that "flat circle" comment at 7:25
What was great seeing this when it released is that there weren’t any sequels planned. So you are left to wonder at the end, if they ever saw each other again
This is the best work from Richard. So unique and clever. And kudos to both actors, a miscasting could've really ruined a lot of this movie's charm and chemistry.
"If there is anything magical in this world, it must be in the attempt to understand someone sharing something."
That line totally reminded me of my ex girlfriend. I lost a good one.
One of my fav films🙌🙌so glad you reacted to this, can’t wait to watch!
Hope you enjoyed!!
Thank you for watching this, James 🙏
The "Before" movies were and still are one of the best cinematic journeys of my life. The first entry in particular has always held a special place in my heart. Through it, I came to realize just how beautiful everyday life is; all the incredible stories that exist out there in our world at any given moment. Seeing my favorite reactor experience my favorite romance film of the modern age was a gift. I'm confident that you'll find equal if not greater joy in the rest of the trilogy.
Keep doing what you love and loving what you do 🤟
Amazing seeing you do this film! This is maybe the most significant movie of my life. Not my number 1 favorite, but the one that probably influenced me the most. The whole trilogy is special… like truly truly special. And I hope you do the next one, Before Sunset (perhaps my fave of the 3, but it’s a tough choice).
I had a girl I was head over heels for before this movie came out in theaters. I worked at a coffee shop and she was a customer. In quick conversations as she came and went, I managed to get my foot in the door.
Our first date was this movie. After it let out, around ten p.m. we walked around downtown. We spent the night talking and getting to know each other. We found hidden nooks in shadows and just enjoyed moments with each other. It was one of the most wonderful nights of my life.
Of course, life doesn't always work out the way you want it to. We went on a couple more dates but never really had the magic of the first night. We became passing ships soon after that.
But for one beautiful night, I got to watch this movie and live it afterwards.
Great film!
What is it about films set on trains? I love so many of them. Hitchcock seemed to love them. NbNW, Lady Vanishes, Silver Streak, Darjeeling Limited, the start of this to name a few
this movie fills my heart with joy, i love it so much. films about "normal people living their normal lives" are my favorites. i´m so glad you watched it!
12:30 inb4 this becomes a new meme
This film ambushed me, twice. When it first came out, it felt so personal, so perfect - this was me, this was us, this was for all time and for right now, and it's ache would haunt me for the next 10 years. When I finally pushed it into the VCR, I was ready to be profoundly moved again like before...except this time I couldn't feel it. They were so young, their parting so pointless. Why hadn't I realized that the first time?
I wasn't there anymore. Still a great movie, but somehow when I wasn't watching I had officially become old. Never saw that coming.
I adore this trilogy of movies ♥ and your reaction ☺. Everything about these movies is amazing, the acting, the direction, the dialogue, the cinematography etc. Each of the movies is dialogue heavy so the main characters (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) must have incredible memories. I love the fact that each movie seems real, they deal with issues and fears and the adaptability we all have within us to deal with them. At the same time, the movies take us all on an adventure, absorbing other cultures and ideas in a welcome fashion. In short, what's not to love about these movies. Well done all concerned 🎉 🥂 ♥ ☺.
Amy Lehrhaupt : The Girl who inspired Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy.
"She kind of echos through the Films. I always felt I could see her, like she would show up at a screening. When you make a film, you are in public quite a bit. You do screenings, festivals. I run into a lot of old friends, and I figured, just in my mind, 'I have a screening in Philadelphia; maybe she will be in New York..' and she never showed up. Even in the second film, I think that, in a way, works into the idea of the novel and it's sent of as a beacon, you know, in some way, what Jesse admits to, that was swirling around. And I don't want to exaggerate: it wasn't as intense of a relationship, obviously, as Celine and Jesse have; it was just something swirling around in my mind."
- Richard Linklater, discussing the woman who inspired the story of his before trilogy. He met her in Philadelphia while travelling, and as he was only there for one night and they walked around the city together untill morning. Unlike in the movie, they exchanged phone numbers, but eventually lost touch.
Linklater shot Before Sunrise (1995) based on his night with Amy. Like Jesse in "Before Sunset." Linklater was secretly hoping that Amy had heard of the movie, and would show up at the premier, but she did not. When Before Sunset (2004) released, she did not show up either. It was until 2010, before Linklater started production on the second sequel Before Midnight (2013), that a friend of Amy, who knew about their story, contacted Linklater to tell him that Amy had died in a Motorcycle accident on May 9, 1994, at the age of 24, a few weeks before he started shooting of Before Sunrise (1995).
"That's why we always have to give our best selves to everyone because we don't know how we are going to influence people" - Richard Linklater.
P.S - Some unknown and unsaid words and Hidden Story as well as Mysteries has it's power and influence on other people to bring out the best from them.
No matter how much knowledge I share with you as per my life experiences but ultimately it's the Credibilty and Power of those Knowledge , Wisdom And Words which will Lives on forever in the life of other people and you will Live on Forver through them. And As Amy, Some people became immortal by the way they have lived their life even at the age of 24 and will lives on forever through Movies.
This is the only trilogy that I have only seen Before Sunrise, and I do not want to see the equally applauded sequels. I guess because it came out during my youth and held a special place in my heart. Since I am still single, I don’t want to ruin the magic of this film for me by viewing Before Sunset and Before Midnight. Those films continued the arc of these two characters that I have yet to experience.
the palm reader is an iconic Austrian actress called Ernie Mangold who also plays the lead in one of my favourite weird movies "die weltmaschine" (1981) which also was one of Christoph Waltz's first movies, if you're into strange foreign films I would REALLY recommend checking that out, don't know if it's that easy to find tho... or if it even has subtitles
I really love that Linklater used local actors for all of the supporting roles and had them speaking in dialect, it just adds so much to the vibe
I'm so glad I found your channel! You've reviewed so many of my top 10 movies, and I'm having such great time watching your reactions to them.
18:44 100% i felt the same way. I got into filmmaking because i love peoppe watching and trying to learn who they are. Like thag feeling when you drive late at night in the highway and you see cars coming and going and you wonder where are they going? is it work? or maybe to catch an early flight to a vacation, or mayeb to a hopsital become someone closed got into an accident.
the dialogues are so well written that they feel like improv when they actually reharsed it A LOT
Please consider another Ethan Hawke film, Maggies Plan. Funny and smart IMO xx
I'm a few years younger than the main characters in this trilogy and it just so happened that whenever I watched each of them for the first time my life was going through something similar and they just kicked my ass. Such well made, honest movies. The concept couldn't be simpler, but the execution is flawless.
18:12 Those shots were so subtle, yet extremely powerful.
I live down the street from that cafe
Looks exactly the same: booths, red fabric, people
Loved this film when I stumbled upon it. Love the trilogy. Would love to watch more films like this.
Linklater legend .... must react to dazed and confused and its spiritual sequel... Amazing
so the advice about picking up strange beautiful women on trains is: be cool about it and look like a 25 year old Ethan Hawke. Got it.
I think you need to watch 'Slacker' (same director) if you like this kind of wandering camera
If you enjoyed this film I know you will really enjoy Same time next year starring Allan Alda. its this film times ten.
And that's how millions of wishes for this kind of scenario were born.
Hahahaha agreed!
React to Burning (2018). A masterpiece in every sense of the word
Such a well written movie
I'm sure you're right James but it is sure easy to find the beauty in the mundane when you're hanging with Julie Delpy.
Someone FINALLY reacted to this film! I need you to react to every Linklater film please!
This is a very charming and romantic movie! I wish they exchanged phone numbers at the end. I agree with another comment that this is a masterpiece.
What a nice surprise this is !
This is my favorite movie. I saw it when it came out when I was a teenager and it always stuck with me. I would travel to Europe and wish that this movie would happen to me. Definitely check out the other 2 movies in the series. They are perfect.
oh my god oh my god, it's my favourite trilogy commented by one of my fav youtubers. these movies are so good, well made and written! can't wait to hear your thoughts about it
ahhhhh this is such an awesome comment, wow thank you
Everybody deserves a n all-night, long conversational date like this at least once in their life.
To be honest I like Céline a lot more, maybe because she's European like me. I don't know if that makes sense to others but it makes sense to me lmao
THE 3 films are so good ,the two leads make an engaging couple ,romance is not dead .
I love the fact that James would go to the cow play of the nerdy Austrian dudes.
Before watching, I have to say, this film is incredible.
your "don't mind me" made me laugh, it really is so intimate that you feel like you're intruding
in 'waking life' and 'a scanner darkly' you get to see more creativity from linklater.
