usa vs europe, chapter 2:
linklater’s BEFORE SUNRISE (1995)
this being june and whatever, it thought i’d rewatch this— it’s been ages and it made a huge impression on me back in the day.
and this now was... fucking boring! haa haa haa haa. i stopped maybe 1/2 hour into it? i also fell asleep. so i couldn’t tell the exact time. watching this today was like being a voyeur in a boring date full of gen-xer clichés. is it just me? this has aged so poorly. then again im way way past the impressionable phase.
i’m not really a cynic about these things, but these characters already married had kids divorced had an affair with each other have been in the dumps themselves as a couple, etc. and this now looks just ridiculous, like looking at all love letters you wrote to a girl when you were 16 and they make your laugh and cringe at the same time.
so yeah i didn’t finish and don’t plan to. i’d rather drink bleach than sit through this ha ha ha.
