Before Sunrise, Prince Charles Cinema, Mon 29th June
Before Sunrise, Prince Charles Cinema, Mon 29th June 5.30pm
1995 101mins USA(15) Romance/Drama
Directed by Richard Linklater
Starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Andrea Eckert
8.1 IIMDb rating
Synopsis
A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.
***Before Sunrise*** is a 1995 [romantic drama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_film "Romance film") film directed by [Richard Linklater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Linklater "Richard Linklater") and co-written by Linklater and [Kim Krizan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Krizan "Kim Krizan"), and is the first installment in the *[Before](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_trilogy "Before trilogy")*[ trilogy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_trilogy "Before trilogy"). In the film, Jesse ([Ethan Hawke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Hawke "Ethan Hawke")) and Céline ([Julie Delpy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Delpy "Julie Delpy")) meet on a train and disembark in [Vienna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna "Vienna") to spend the night toge The film explores themes and perspectives on life, love, time, death, self-discovery, and [postmodern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodern "Postmodern") romance.
Linklater and Krizan long discussed the concept of the film and the characters.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Sunrise#cite_note-Linklater-10) He wanted to explore the "relationship side of life and discover two people who had complete anonymity and try to find out who they really were".[\[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Sunrise#cite_note-Donahue-11)
**Themes**
*Before Sunrise* revolves largely around the twin themes of self-fulfillment and self-discovery through a significant other, charging the concept through the introduction of a twelve-hour time constraint in which the goals implicit to the two themes have to be realized. They are underlined by the poem "*Delusion Angel*", which evokes a longing for complete and unifying, possibly even redeeming, understanding between two partners in a world which is itself unknowable, and over which one can exercise no control.
An important role is played by the theme of spontaneous and uninhibited response to one's environment. It is reflected by the actions of Jesse and Céline, whose joint [stream of consciousness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_consciousness_(psychology) "Stream of consciousness (psychology)"), initiated by a previously unmeditated decision to leave the train together, allows them to temporarily detach themselves from the world, and enter a realm where only the other's company is of importance. Come morning, Jesse remarks that he and Céline have again entered "real time".
*Before Sunrise* premiered at the [Sundance Film Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundance_Film_Festival "Sundance Film Festival") on January 19, 1995, and was theatrically released in the United States by [Columbia Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Pictures "Columbia Pictures") eight days later. It grossed $22.5 million and received critical acclaim for its screenplay, Linklater's direction, and acting performances. *Before Sunrise* appeared on many critics' lists of the greatest films of the year and has since gone onto receive a [rating of 100%](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_a_100%25_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoes "List of films with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes") on [Rotten Tomatoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Tomatoes "Rotten Tomatoes").

Reviews
"Thought-provoking and beautifully filmed, *Before Sunrise* is an intelligent, unabashedly romantic look at modern love, led by marvelously natural performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy."[\[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Sunrise#cite_note-20)
"Just once, for a single day, Jesse and Céline have given life the sort of shape and charge that until now they have found only in fiction, and may never find again".
"the best romance of all time".
🦕 Дердлдор и Лулворт
Пожалуй, сложно найти человека, который бы не смотрел знаменитый фильм Стивена Спилберга про динозавров 🦕 (или хотя бы не слышал о нем). Многих людей во всем мире привлекает тема доисторических времен Земли. Ну и мы не стали исключением! Мы отправляемся на Юрское побережье, которое представляет собой береговую линию протяженностью 95 миль, включая части восточного побережье Девона и Дорсета. Сейчас сложно представить, что когда-то здесь бродили огромные рептилии 🦕. Однако многочисленные находки ученых говорят о том, что история этих мест охватывает 185 миллионов лет развития нашей планеты. Не случайно Юрское побережье было внесено в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО как объект, представляющий научную значимость. Находки, сделанные тут, позволили совершить открытия, которые во многом способствовали развитию палеонтологии и составлению древней картины мира.
Кроме научных «красот», Юрское побережье славится своими восхитительными пейзажами, первозданной красотой и уникальными природными достопримечательностями. Самой известной из них является Durdle Door — известняковая природная арка. Конечно, аркой она стала не сразу. По мнению ученых, около 140 миллионов лет назад здесь сформировалась сеть пещер, образовавшихся в трещинах горных пород. Затем на протяжении многих тысячелетий «дизайнеры» природных ландшафтов — море, солнце и ветер — создавали это чудо природы. В самом высоком месте скала достигает 200 футов. До сих пор на известняковых породах Durdle Door можно заметить отпечатки, похожие на рябь — это окаменелости древних останков растений и животных. Вот таким непостижимым образом миллионы лет различных природных процессов привели к тому, что сегодня мы можем наблюдать фантастически красивый морской пейзаж😍!
Не менее яркой достопримечательностью Юрского побережья стала Бухта Лулворт 🏞 — небольшой залив в форме подковы с идеально ровными берегами, которые сформировались в результате постепенного размыва пород. На весь мир бухта славится уникальной геологией и удивительными рельефами, а окрестные пейзажи напоминают кадры из рекламы «райских» островов. Также в нашем туре мы посетим живописный мыс «Голова летучей мыши🦇», получивший свое название в связи с тем, что у основания этой скалы находится маленькая пещера, ставшая домом для этих животных. Окруженный зелеными лугами белый меловой утес с достаточно крутым обрывом в море — сказочное зрелище!
Итак, мы отправляемся в красивейшие места Великобритании, чтобы насладиться чудесами природы и познакомиться с древней историей нашей планеты. Нас ждет множество неожиданных открытий и потрясающая прогулка «по следам» динозавров. Присоединяйтесь! Может быть (кто знает!), и вам повезет сделать важную историческую находку!

🐬South African Sardine Run - 1 WEEK INSIDE A NATURE DOCUMENTARY 🐋
**1 week of an exclusive, small-group ocean expedition for freedivers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts! If you love the ocean, this trip is for you.**
Each year, the waters off South Africa’s Wild Coast transform into one of the planet’s most dramatic natural events. Billions of sardines migrate along the Wild Coast, making it one of the largest animal migrations on the planet. It attracts a diverse range of predators, from dolphins and sharks to whales and seabirds - all converging in a feeding spectacle few ever witness up close.
The Sardine Run remains one of the most spectacular events on earth. Each day, ocean conditions, currents, and predator behavior determine what you’ll encounter. You’ll spend your days following the pulse of the sea - sometimes waiting, sometimes immersed in pure chaos and raw nature beauty.
We partner with a trusted local dive operator with extensive experience running ocean expeditions along the Wild Coast. Their skilled skippers, dive crews, and wildlife spotters bring a deep understanding of the area’s conditions and marine life, ensuring safety, precision, and ethical wildlife encounters.

Looking for Travel Companion? Post it here
Kindly understand that This is Not an online event. We created this for the people to communicate with each other (in the comment section) to find their travel mates. However, since the Meetup site requires a date and time. We constantly have to update the date and time to keep the event alive.
**Dear friends,**
If you have plans to travel somewhere in the world, and you are looking for a travel mate/roommate, you can post it here to let others know, and maybe you can arrange to travel together.
It would probably be a good idea to meet up before deciding to travel together but at least this will give you a chance to find a like-minded travel mate.
**How to Choose the Right Travel-mate**
1. Have some common interests.
2. Avoid people who tend to extremes.
3. Agree on expenditures before you leave.
4. Make sure your personalities
5. Friends aren’t always good travel companions
6. Don’t go backpacking with a luxury-seeker
7. Make sure you’re able to communicate
8. Agree on a similar budget
9. Avoid picky, crazy and whiny individuals
10. Test each other on a short trip
11. You don’t have to be like a couple of inseparable lovebirds
Good Luck and Cheers,
Ree & Smyl
