18 years ago, an American boy and a French girl met on a train en route to Paris. They got off at Vienna and spent an entire day, roaming around the streets, reading old tombstones, listening to poetry, and drinking wine. And they talked, shared thoughts, argued and laughed.
But she had to board her train by sunrise, and he had a flight to catch. They were both poor students who could not afford frequent trips across continents, they agree never to contact each other. But love is a strange emotion , when her train was about to leave , he told her that he would wait for her at the station exactly 6 months from that day. They smiled, kissed and said good bye (not forever, just for 6 months, or so they thought)
Then after 9 years we found out that they did not meet as planned. Something unexpected had happened and she could not make the trip, though he waited for her. They moved on with their lives. He got married and started a family. Then he wrote a book. What was it about? Oh it was about a French girl he once met on a train.
He met her again on a press meet in Paris. She had read his book of course. He told her about his family. She told him about her boyfriend. Everything was lovely with both their lives, and everybody was happy. But as they walked around the streets of Paris, again bound by time, they realised that they had let love slip through their fingers by not exchanging phone numbers. Again he had to catch a flight by sunset.
I have been a big fan of the Before Sunrise-Sunset movies. It is not one of those 'chick-flick' movies , men flinch away from . Its about 2 very intelligent people and their spontaneous intelligent conversations. For years and years I, like most other fans, had wondered about Jesse and Celine. Now at last, I got to know that they are married, they do have occasional tiffs, but who doesn't.
Thanks to Wikipedia and other reviews of the new movie, Before midnight, the last in the trilogy.
I haven't seen the movie yet., but I am just very happy, for Jesse and Celine
