Love Before Dawn breaks is a love film directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpe.
The American young Jesse met the French schoolgirl Selena on the train to Paris, in order to avoid the quarrel between the neighboring couple, Selina changed seats to Jesse's side, the two talked, very speculative, seeing that Jesse was going to get off the train in Vienna in the middle, Jesse, who had already said goodbye and left, suddenly returned and tried to persuade Serena to get off the train with him.
So, in Vienna, a romantic journey began for Jesse and Selina. They wandered the streets of Vienna; they played "You Ask Me" on the bus; they went to the record store to pick out records to audition; they roamed the cemetery together, discussing life and death; they boarded the Ferris wheel, and in the beautiful scenery of the Danube River, jesse kissed Serena in the setting sun.
They regarded the night they met as the only night they spent together. Face your heart, face each other sincerely, and don't please or show off. They share their own experiences of growing up, explore how their partners get along... Tonight, they take off their masks and listen to their hearts, they show themselves deeply, full self-exploration again and again. In the whole dialogue, along with the transformation of the camera, it also frames all the beauty of Vienna, and the rhythm is just right to fit the intimate traction of men and women in love from far and near, from the outside to the near.
Dawn finally came, and to the sound of the Viennese piano, Jesse and Serena danced one last dance.
On the occasion of parting, the two meet again in Vienna for a deadline, five years? It's been too long. A year? No, half a year later, from yesterday or from today...
Finding a confidant in the vast sea is a fortunate thing in life! The first sight of the two people began with the appearance value, just as the bullet screen said "without the appearance of the face you do not even have the opportunity to talk" haha, there is a certain truth, but what supports the in-depth communication between the two people and produces love is the fit of the heart and the communication of the three views. Born lonely and afraid of loneliness, but sometimes more lonely than alone, it is two people lying on a bed playing with their mobile phones back to back, day and night, but there is nothing to say.
May the world be able to find a confidant, idle to watch the flowers bloom, watch the rain fall, talk about the sea, and be at peace in this life!
