Before Sunset	comment	The second film of the Before Trilogy, Before Sunset (2004) reunited director Richard Linklater and stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. It saw Hawke and Delpy co-write the screenplay with Linklater. Nine years have passed since the first film, and Jesse has immortalized the experience in a best-selling novel. While in Paris on the final leg of his book tour, he's reunited with Celine after she reads the book and comes to see his appearance at the Shakespeare & Company bookstore. They quickly reconnect, and even though Jesse only has a couple of hours before he needs to catch a flight home, they decide to kill time by wandering around Paris. Much like the previous meeting, their conversations are very philosophical and introspective, and they also take the opportunity to catch up on the last nine years of one another's lives and how they remember and feel about the events of the first film.

Before Sunset / int_26b0a73	comment	Legendary in the Sequel: Again, a variation. Jesse is now a well-known author, and his latest best-selling work is based on the events of Before Sunrise, meaning that Celine has been immortalised in print.

Before Sunset / int_53c5f30e	type	Happy Ending Override
Before Sunset / int_53c5f30e	comment	Happy Ending Override: A variation, due to the realist depiction of the characters and their lives. The romantic side of both characters has almost completely died in the intervening years, so rather than picking up where they left off, Jesse and Celine put up a pretense before revealing that they've completely messed up their love lives and don't know how to get them back on track.

Before Sunset / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: After the two of them planned to meet romantically in the same place six months later in Before Sunrise, life got in the way to prevent it; specifically, Celine couldn't show up because her grandmother died.

Before Sunset / int_a90fff3	type	Based on a True Story
Before Sunset / int_a90fff3	comment	Based on a True Story: Unconfirmed. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy co-wrote the screenplay with Richard Linklater, and many critics suggested that (much like Linklater in the first film) the two actors put a lot of their own lives into their characters. For example, critics point to Jesse's monologues about his Happy Marriage Charade and compare them to Ethan Hawke's ended marriage to Uma Thurman. In-universe, Jesse is pestered by literary journalists on whether his novel This Time was based on an actual meeting or not.

Before Sunset / int_bac26c8f	comment	Serenade Your Lover: Another variation. Jesse asks to hear one of Celine's songs, and out of the choice of a song about her cat, a song about her ex-boyfriend and "a waltz", he picks the latter. Naturally, it's a song she wrote about Jesse and the events of the first film.

Before Sunset / int_f25c69a1	comment	We Could Have Avoided All This: Invoked by both Celine and Jesse: why the fuck didn't they exchange phone numbers, or even their last names? Because they were romantic twits in the first film and figured it would be more romantic, and didn't realize an emergency (like the death of Celine's grandmother) might intervene.
