2019-11-02 18:37:57 +0000 UTCI have a funny story, I like many others from my age use to mimic phones the same way they did on the film, Josh however doesn't, he holds his imaginary phone like he is halding a smartphone, that made me feel old one time hahaha

2019-11-02 18:36:23 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing this films with me, I hope I do them justice and I don't get to random with my thoughts during or after the film. There are films for sure that touch us in very deep ways and reading how similar your life was to the films it's honestly fantastic, I can't say I lived a l ove like yours but who knows maybe one day (I hardly doubt it bc I barely go o ut tho lol) I'm about to watch the next film but I wanted to read your comments first :)

My father was diagnosed with leukemia in August when I just got back from Spain. We have known it is coming; in fact it should have happened already. He was diagnosed with polycythemia rubra vera in 1984, ten years before this film came out.

2019-11-01 18:09:40 +0000 UTCOkay, watching this again with you, I oddly realize how you don't see ashtrays in cafes anymore. One of the ways that dates the film. Lol. Or saying "bank machine" instead of ATM. Or pretending to hold a telephone that rings, and that you hang up on the bottom part of the phone. Or record stores. ROFL! Also, I love how sharp your eyes and mind are in noticing one-shot single-takes. It's a useful skill, especially going forward. I guess it's proof of what you said in your assessment. I guess you were meant to do what you do, because there would otherwise have been elements of your skills and talents that would have been wasted if you did another career, and not had the variety in life that you have: as a reviewer, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. It might be harder for you to nurture those things if you had a 9 to 5 go-to-the-office job.

2019-11-01 18:05:13 +0000 UTCMy dear Juli, I'm glad that you seemed to enjoy the movie. I really felt a little awkward recommending this one to you because as you mentioned, it is very personal for me. Recommending the film to you was really more of an act of our friendship than recommending a film to entertain your viewers and supporters. These are films that I have only watched either alone or with people very close to me. There are some films, books, songs which are very very revealing about a person. These are that for me. Por ejemplo tengo ganas de escribirte en tu propia idioma para explicar todo eso ya que es tan personal. No puedo explicarte mejor que eso; que en ese momento estoy pensando en la idioma en que te piensas para contarte esas cosas. But that'd be rude. In a lot of ways, recommending you these films is a way of you getting to know me better. I was the same age as Jesse and Céline when this movie came out. Almost all of my hopes and dreams of a relationship were the same as theirs. My mind moved and worked very similar to Jesse's, gravitating between being an asshole to cover up my more tender and vulnerable thoughts in pseudo-intellectual sarcasm. Four years after this movie, I met a girl from another country in March, went on our first date in May, proposed to her in June, became separated from her in July because of immigration and visas, went to her country in September to ask her father's permission, brought her back to the US in December, and married her in January. Yes, six months from June to December. Just like Jesse and Céline's pact at the train station in Vienna. I'll tell you more with the next films. Julie Delpy, who plays Céline appeared in another film you reviewed. Blink and you would miss it. She was in Avengers: Age of Ultron as the one who taught Black Widow in the Red Room in all the flashback scenes when she was under Wanda's mind influence. The story of this film is based on something that really happened to Richard Linklater, the primary writer of this film. I call him the "primary writer" because the characters are so intimate that by necessity Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy got involved in the writing because they inhabited these characters. He spent a night with a girl he just met walking around Philadelphia. They also didn't exchange enough personal information for them to stay in touch. Years later, he found out that she had died in a motorcycle accident in New York. But that isn't necessarily the turn our characters take. But the night obviously made an impact on his life that never went away. In subsequent films, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are even more involved in the writing and characterization. When we get to the subsequent films, there's more that I can tell you.
