"Before Sunrise" + "Before Sunset" = ? What comes to your mind when these two beautiful movie titles are put together?

"Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset."

"Love before dawn, Love after sunset."

Undoubtedly, I am a romantic person because the first reason I noticed these two films and decided to watch them was due to their romantically charged titles. I was captivated by the richness and elegance of the Chinese language, for only such a language could add so much charm to what would otherwise be an ordinary title.

These are two unique films.

In my view, most romance movies have elements that idealize love. Regardless of how they express it, they always create a gap, deep or shallow, between love and reality. This is one of the reasons why many romance films tend to deviate, more or less, from the true essence of love in real life.

The stories told in these two films are almost like those that can only happen in movies. Yet, they are the closest films I've seen to the true essence of love.
