I finished the Richard Linklater trilogy with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.

Before Midnight, Before Sunrise, After Sunset.

I am just reporting this for anyone who is waiting for the other two shoes to drop.

I figured that there would be just more of the same in each edition.

I do not ever watch sequels. Anytime, anywhere, anything.

But these are not truly sequels as much as one large work which is made in real time.

Linklater waited for each subsequent film so that his actors would truly be older and all that means to the flavor of the film.

By the time we get to the third edition we manage to see an epic fight which rings every bell in my own experience with lovers' quarrels. The thing about them is that over a long time ammunition piles up. The missiles get more accurate.

Since we have seen their previous films we know what some of these are when they appear.

I really like this work and will probably see the three again sometime.
