A good movie

I can't believe it took me so much time to finally re-watch this flick. Seriously, I must have seen it around the time that it was released, about 20 years ago, and I never saw it again. There is however something else going on when you watch it now, there is the knowledge that you will be allowed to see these characters again 10 years later and again 20 years later which is just really awesome. Back then, when I first watched it, I thought it was just some cute random encounter between 2 strangers and it seemed pretty obvious that they would probably never see each other again and that was fine. Anyway, after all these years, it is still a fine picture. Indeed, it must be one of the most genuine romances ever put on the screen with 2 completely believable characters thanks to some impressive performances by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. To be honest, even though I loved the concept, there was still something preventing this movie from being truly great, at least , in my opinion. Basically, the movie is so realistic that you spend pretty much the whole 90 minutes listening to 2 young adults in their 20's talking about their life and just life in general. As a result, their conversation can get sometimes rather pretentious and a little tedious. It is like being the third wheel on a date and it was not actually always completely rewarding. Anyway, to conclude, even though I wasn't completely sold, I still really enjoyed it a lot, it is one of the best romantic features ever made and it is definitely worth a look.
