I agree with you that the Musketeers is a great film, but while I really enjoyed
it, it didn't initally blow me away or turn me into a huge fan of Julie. In
fact, I was initially kind of resistant to even watching Before Sunrise and
Before Sunset. I suppose I just assumed it would be another fluffy romance
flick. What a mistake on my part. I was totally floored when I watched them.
In particular, Before Sunset truly impressed me. It seemed so very real, like
the viewer is just eavesdroppping on a conversation between old lovers. And the
questions it probes are issues of real substance. And, of course, in terms of
cinematography, the overall piece was done so beautifully and in a way that
reinforced the realism of Julie and Ethan's encounter. In any case, clearly
since seeing her Before Sunset I have been singing Julie's praise. Beyond her
talent, she also seems to be a woman of real intergrity. I told you guys before
that I came across a clip from Before Sunset on a website that's actually an art
exhibit she's part of. (Oh, and it had Waltz for a Night up there too). Turns
out she wrote a short article for this month giving her take on Hollywood.
She's also doing a blog for the exhibit. You should check it out if you haven't
already. It's cool becuase she's talking about her own experiences and gives
insight into who she really is, rather than being asked specifically about her
work as is the case in most interviews.

On a separate note, does anybody know what's up with Bathory?
Thanks for the discussion.

I totally agree with you Jeff.
I think I saw the 2 Musketeers a long time ago but did not know she was in
it.
I saw the first movie in the theatre back in 94' Before Sunrise.
I loved it so much and when I heard they were coming out with the sequel
Before Sunset I could not wait to see it but had to wait til out on DVD/video.
I have them both now and want them alot. IT's funny how a lot of the
subjects they tapped on in their discussions even in the first move in 94 are so
much more prevelent now.
And they really did a good job of making their meet again real and how we
change over time.
It was just so refreshing to find these kind of movies that are very
truthful and honest.
just real I guess.
I loved her song the waltz too at the end of the movie. She has a wonderful
singing voice.
Something nice and real about that too.
I think she is Beautiful and I think Ethan and Julie just did a magical job
with these two character making them human and showing humility.
I give great props to julie, Richard Linklater and Ethan for giving life to
these characters and these two movies. I can relate to a lot of the material.
I just realized recently that she is in a movie with
Michael Vartan called "the sand" she has a small but very humerous part.
I had some of his movies and realized she was in it.
thanks for emailing me...
Its nice to find other people that enjoy some of the same things you do.
