Past Midnight
10:27 PM
It's been two months. And for some reason, I just felt I needed to finish watching Before Midnight today. I started watching it a few days back but didn't get past the scene where Jesse was watching the kids swim in the lake.
“If you want true love, then this is it,” Jesse says. “And if you can’t see it, then you’re blind.”
This was the first movie in the trilogy that I actually felt I was the guy. In Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, most of Celine's lines felt they were mine, as well as her sense of pride, feminism, and her struggles. But in Before Midnight, I could see myself in Jesse's shoes: his commitment to what they have, his 'boring' routine, and and his attempts in making Celine laugh.
I was that (I still am able to make my Celine laugh). But my Celine is blind. (Now that I think about it, he can be defined as such, literally).
I just wish that this Before Midnight's Celine chooses to see for the rest of her life.
