Before Sunrise (1995) - one of the best film scenes ever

"There's wind that blows in from the north And it says that loving takes this course Come here, come here No I'm not impossible to touch I have never wanted you so much Come here, come here Have I never laid down by your side Baby, let's forget about this pride Come here, come here Well I'm in no hurry Don't have to run away this time I know you're timid. But it's gonna be all right this time..." I am Polish and "Before Sunrise" (and "Before Sunset" afterwards) were aired on one of the TV channels a few weeks ago. Both the films are excellent; the acting skills of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke blossom during the long shots taken in Vienna & Paris. This one special scene though is even better than the rest of the film. It is absolutely exquisite. Those eyes, this music ("Come Here" by Kath Bloom), this amazing atmosphere of a requited feeling and finally finding a real soulmate... it is certainly one of the best scenes that have ever been created; Richard Linklater and the actors succeeded in making something that the vast majority of even high-budget films lack. The world is huge, I am just 19, now moving to Warsaw to study there. I don't know what will happen in my life, I don't know where will its paths lead me. I don't know whether I'll ever meet a person I could socialise with as much as this pair did, I don't know if any adventure of such enormous beauty will ever happen to me... What I know is that I will hold this scene and film in my memory all throughout my life. Best regards to you, whoever you are! 23.07.2007 I just watched Before Sunrise again. Many things have happened in my life in the meantime, more often sad than happy, and yet this beautiful gem still lives vividly within me, promising that maybe, just maybe, it all makes sense and something beautiful and pure awaits ahead. That nothing is over yet... Is it you, Alexandra? In my heart I beg, take me with you. I don't care where you're going... 28.11.2012
