Brad watches Richard Linklater’s *Before Sunrise* for the first time, and both hosts fall hard for its honest portrait of young love, memory, longing, and two people talking their way toward something…
So, like, you got a 90-minute film about two interesting people who are not perfect but are interesting, and you don't mind spending an hour and a half just listening to them talk to each other.
I think that I would give Linklater, like, a 10 out of 10 for, like, actor, directing actors in this movie.
'Cause there's so many moments throughout the film that you can tell the amount of work it took to precisely, like, perfect the looking at each other in the f- in the listening booth scene.
And so many other pieces of this film where you're just like, "Oh my gosh, this is, like, perfect directing and perfect acting."
That is the best, like, uh, like, lob you could have given to yourself to just tee off here on Brad Explains.
Brad Explains, as I have said, is where Brad is gonna break down the plot of the movie.
