My second week doing this and already I've flaked. Well I'm doin it anyway.
My next favorite film scene is from the second movie on my fave list, "Before Sunrise." For a dialogue junky like me, this film is just a parade. And for a person who loves to travel it's got everything I want going for it. There are so many scenes in "Before Sunrise" movie I can call my favorite but the one that really gets to me every single time is one that actually has no dialoge at all.
Jesse and Celine who have only just met hours ago on a train walk into a used record store in Europe and Celine selects an album by Kath Bloom that she likes. She and Jesse go into a listening booth to hear it. What happens in that minute and a half between them is so palpable, sweet and intimate and playful. Whenever I watch it I imagine a range of different things they could be thinking. I imagine the unsaid dialogue that is being exchanged between them as the music and Kath's singing sort of shamelessly exposes Jess and Celines' building affection for one another.
