What makes these two films so good? I'd like to think that we all see a bit of ourselves in Celine and Jesse. A bit of idealism, a bit of adventurousness, a bit of world-weariness. We all hope that we're able to find an opportunity, as they did, to meet someone special. Just to be in their situation and have the chance to for that kind of bond is a wonderful thing. Of course, making the decision would be excruciating. It's always interesting to discuss what you would have done had you been in their situation.
The nine-year gap between Sunrise and Sunset also produced an authentic visual - Celine and Jesse look and sound so much more world-weary. Life put these two characters through a wringer over the time they'd been apart. The result is an intimate look into how two people, for all intents and purposes strangers, bond due to simply being people who are happy listening and talking to each other about each other.
