Thu, 12/22/2011 - 04:11 — Anonymous I often read Nathan Bransford's blog
about the publishing industry. I liked his recent post about the now classic
travel films "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset." Bransford recently
re-watched both films, and he writes about how his perspective on them has
changed as he has aged. I know many of us can relate. What's amazing about
these movies is that because they're set nine years apart they thoroughly
embody this passage of time and maturation that we all go through, while at
the same time retaining that essential magic between Jesse and Celine. Life
moves on, we change, we age, and yet something essential remains. And
that's the amazing thing about art. These movies haven't changed at all
since I saw them last, that essence hasn't moved a bit. But I have changed,
the world has changed, and how we all respond to works of art evolves. The
movies may be the same but they mean something different than they used to
and they'll continue to change while remaining exactly the same. The entire
post is worth a read. As we noted recently, director Richard Linklater and
stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are plotting a third installment in the
series. World Hum
