The Storm Before Midnight

Verbal Fencing
I guess I missed the earlier two movies called Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.


Baiting Each Other
Before Midnight  is just another milestone where the couple undergo yet another milestone in their lives, 20 years after meeting on a train to Vienna; this time testing each other in a quaint Grecian village for past failings and weaknesses and baiting each other to unravel secrets of the past as well as to get at each other's unspoken opinions of the faults of each other.

Two Sides of Personalities
Julie Delpy plays Celine, the aggressive, taunting bitching female protagonist confronting Ethan Hawke's defensive Jesse who is vulnerably trapped between sacrificing the better years away from his growing son and the need to keep his Parisian family together.

To me, the movie is too dialogy but some of the issues that was brought forth are worth thinking about.
