引人入勝的對話
自然流露的情緒
命中注定的相遇
開放式的結局
火車行駛在軌道間
兩道合而為一
窗外是綠草如茵的連續畫面
兩個二十出頭的青年相遇
來自不同國家不同背景
相談甚歡
Jesse到了Vienna準備下車
他得搭隔天一早的飛機回到美國
Celine在他的邀約之下
決定和他一起在Vienna度過這一天
喜歡他們在cable car上面
用Q&A的方式拉近彼此的距離
喜歡他們在黑膠唱片行
若有似無的眼神交會
簡單可愛的墓園
傍晚的摩天輪
莊嚴肅穆的教堂
人聲鼎沸的CLUB
悠閒氣氛的歐式咖啡館
蜿蜒曲折的巷弄
當然會有意見不同的地方
Jesse對於palm reader說的話不以為然
讓Celine小小的惱怒了一會
討論到男女對於性愛的觀點
路邊流浪漢的詩到底是不是事先寫好的
總不免吵嘴一番
終究是個美妙的夜晚
它們約定好只有這一晚
不再相見
所以先說再見吧
免得最後一刻太過悲傷
快樂的時光總是飛逝
太陽升起
大鍵琴聲中
認真的記住對方的容貌
臨上火車的那一刻
後悔了 不願意就這樣結束
匆忙的相約了半年後同個月台相見
Celine坐上往巴黎的火車
Jesse搭上往機場的巴士
大鍵琴聲再起
重溫昨日曾經流連的每個場景
**************************************************
我已三十有五
再回頭看這部電影
雖然心裡清楚這般相遇情節難在現實中發生
但對於兩人之間的對話方式仍舊十分沉迷
她們是否再次相遇
其實並不重要
讓一切停滯在那個點
最是美妙

Jesse: OK, well this was my thought: 50,000 years ago, there are not even a million people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there's, like, two million people on the planet. Now there's between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? 'Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000 to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth's time. You know, so at best we're like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking... I mean, is that why we're so scattered? You know, is that why we're all so specialized?
Celine: Hmf. Yeah. People can lead their life as a lie. My grandmother, she was married to this man, and I always thought she had a very simple, uncomplicated love life. But she just confessed to me that she spent her whole life dreaming about another man she was always in love with. She just accepted her fate. It's so sad.
Jesse: I guarantee you, it was better that way. If she'd ever got to know him, I'm sure he would have disappointed her eventually.
Celine: How do you know? You don't know them.
Jesse: Yeah, I know, I know. It's just, people have these romantic projections they put on everything. That's not based on any kind of reality.
Jesse: Yeah. So, uh, were we having our first fight back there?
Celine: v
Jesse: Yeah, I think so, I think we were.
Celine: Well, even if we were a little bit, y'know. Why does everyone think conflict is so bad. There's a lot of good things coming out of conflict.
Celine: Even though I reject most of the religious things I can't help but feeling for all those people that come here lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers. It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness for so many generations.
Celine: I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.
Jesse: [stops Celine and positions her in front of him at arm's length]
Celine: What?
Jesse: Uh... I'm gonna take your picture. So I never forget you or, uh, or all this.
Celine: Okay. Me too.
