Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise is one of my favourite movies. It’s about a girl and a man who meet on a train to Vienna. They sat next to each other, so he asked her what book she was reading, and with that question they began a conversation. As they get along very well, once in Vienna he dared to ask her to accompany him to see the city so that they could spend the day together. Only the day because he had to go back to his country the next morning. Ok, she said. And that’s how they spent the following hours walking around the city and talking.
But he has a flight to take, so in the morning, as soon the sun rises, they say goodbye to each other, but with a promise of meeting again at that same place within 6 months. Not email, letter nor calls, only the promise of a future meeting.
What I like the most about this movie is both characters. On the one hand, he is like a child, without much knowledge about the world and without a clear perspective about life, but at the same time he’s full of energy, dreams and hopes. And on the other hand, she is very mature, calm, a down to earth person, with a clear perspective and opinion about the world. They are quite different but they complement each other well, because he feels attracted by this intelligent woman and at the same she feels admired by this man.
