Before Midnight (2013)

Well, It starts off with the same flair as the previous two movies i.e. profound and gives you a lot to contemplate. We get to see life from a middle-aged couple's perspective, I agree that life gets messy, I don't think that's an excuse to stray away from one's partner. I fear this might act as an anchor in people's mind. People might start to rationalise infidelity "Life gets messy, I didn't have a choice" etc.

Love is pure. Love is unadulterated. Love doesn't join people, it helps them grow- as individuals and in love, both. Jesse and Celine are now 40, and with kids! Yet they have not lost their charm and are still stumbling, still learning. Their wonderful ways of keeping the fire alive astound me. Though they have issues, like any person would, they find a way out. Once more, their conversations have a lot to teach us. Richard Lanklater, As charming as ever!

Picking the story from where they had left,Jesse and Celine are shown to be married and parenting twins. But the couple exhibit the wear and tear of time. They express the maturity of a a consummated love and the familiarity of coexistence. The passions and impulsive energy has taken a setback and they worry and bicker over their kids,now. While holidaying in Greece they think about the recent years and time spent as a married couple.
All simply though verbal exchange,like its predecessors this version is also remarkable in its realistic portrayal of life and casual conversation of a couple. Love has not eluded them,but the 'happily ever after' has been mocked at by time
