When the two meet on the train and engage in conversation, the views outside the train don't match when we cut back and forth between Jesse and Celine.

In Vienna, Jesse talks about his obsessive relationship with "Miss July, 1978" of Playboy magazine, then asks Celine if she knows Crystal.

Playboy's Miss July 1978 was actually Karen Morton, cousin of 1970s model Elaine Morton.

Jesse and Celine are said to come from Budapest to Vienna, but in the train scene, there are forest and hills to be seen outside the window all the time.

But there is no such landscape along the railway between Budapest and Vienna.

In fact, the landscape looks more like the railway line west of Vienna, in the direction of Salzburg.

This suggests that the movie was rather filmed there.

While telling the story about the death of his grandmother, Jesse first says he was attending the funeral of his great-grandmother.

From then on he always refers to his grandmother.

Jesse and Celine walk towards the back of the train heading for the dining car.

As they enter the dining car, the train is now traveling in the opposite direction, backwards.

This is a start of a realistic connecting romance movie from a trilogy. Now I saw "Before Sunset" before seeing this one.

So I began watching this movie because, I mostly like romantic films and I just want to give this a go. As soon as I started watching it, it felt like there was too many love dovey scenes and I thought to myself, why the hell would a french girl have a romantic relationship already with an American whom she doesn't know?

If you want to see pure romance watch this movie.

I have been aware of this film for quite some time having never seen it. Perhaps this is for the best for I was too young to understand the raw substance this film contained.

Lucky me. A couple of months ago, I got to experience the entire BEFORE trilogy and not have to wait 18 years to reach the (possible) end.

This is just amazing in every aspect. The dialog flows so smoothly and it seems so real that it's magic.

This is about the accidental meeting of two mid-20s age college students: "Jesse" (Ethan Hawke) and "Celine" (Julie Delpy). He's returning from a disappointing visit to his girlfriend in Spain (she's in an international student program but has fallen in love with another student and dumped Jesse).

This was a recommendation from a good friend of mine.He said it was his favorite romantic movie of all time.

I seen this movie after experiencing my first real relationship ending, and man did it have a effect on me. The stages of developing intimacy between two strangers just felt so real while watching this film.
