Does He or Doesn't He?

Did you see "Before Sunset?" If not, the following may be a spoiler for you. Warning! Warning! I'm gonna talk about what happened!!

So, if you did, do you think he missed the plane? Before Sunrise and Before Sunset were both great movies. And I felt while watching both like I was in the relationship with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. I wasn't disappointed in this sequel. I thought it was a satisfying followup.

I felt sad for Ethan Hawke's character that he went to the train station to meet Julie Delpy after their first meeting and she wasn't there then he ended up in a loveless marriage. I liked that both movies had ambiguous endings, but I am not sure if they were trying to say he was going to miss his plane. I'm pretty much thinking he does. It's a sweet story. I think it's interesting to think about how your life could be different if one incident had taken a turn.

Okay - end of movie spoiler.

When I worked at my last job, a lot of the men I worked with used to tell me that I was stupid for getting married. I don't know if they thought that I could be single and get a lot of ass, or what, but they often told me I was making a mistake. I didn't listen to any of them and I am getting married, but I do wonder what the hell happened in their marriages to make them so bitter. Man they could talk forever about that and about how if they would do it over again, they would wait to get married. In fact, one man told me that the perfect age for a man to get married was 68.
