10 Amazingly Profound Quotes About Life From Richard Linklater Films
7. Jesse - Before Sunrise
"You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? It's when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that is how little they're thinking of you.
You know, you'd like to think you're both in all this pain but they're just like 'Hey, I'm glad you're gone.'"
Before Sunrise is the first entry in the celebrated Before trilogy, and it finds two young, adventurous people meet spontaneously on a train and spend the entire day and night together in Vienna.
It's an incredible film about young love and life in general. Although our lovebirds might only be in their 20's, they have a lot of life experience and a lot of wise things to say. This honest line from Jesse sums up how awful it feels to be broken up with. He hits it right on the nail and it's all-too easy to relate.
