Finally I saw this earlier this evening, and I have to say, it's brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that's somehow.. understood me so much in my life.I think it's just overtaken Lost in Translation as my favourite movie.

It's weird though, somehow at age 19, I can totally relate to everything Jesse (Ethan Hawke's character) talks about at age 32, the marriage stuff excepted obviously. There are so many things he talks about which ring true about how I think and act myself.

Does anyone else who's seen this movie feel the same way?

Yay a reply!

Actually Before Sunset was my first Richard Linklater movie, other than School of Rock, but I'm fast becoming a fan. I'll definitely give Dazed and Confused a go. You should try Before Sunset as well, it's pretty amazing.

It's Before Sunrise, then Before Sunset :p

I looked up Dazed and Confused at IMDB and I have to say it has a pretty good cast. I loved Joey Lauren Williams in Chasing Amy.

i thought before sunset was with pierce brosnan
That's After the Sunset, a rather crappy thriller whose prize assets were Salma Hayek's boobs. Now, I like boobs, but that's what porn is for.

for some pointless trivia it also stars the brother of the actor who plays TS in Mallrats, which Joey Lauren Adams was also in :p

Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back are the 2 Kevin Smith movies I haven't gotten around to seeing yet. Actually I haven't seen Jersey Girl either, but I've been advised that it was a case of Kevin Smith selling out. I don't know, I'll probably see it in a Kevin Smith marathon someday anyway.

my friend likes it but i can't understand why. they just try and make it heaps better by chucking in cameos from stars.

i haven't seen before sunset but i have seen the prequel before sunrise. it was pretty good but it's kinda like even though they sounded like real people talking about problems etc. it still looked like acting to me.
