Whats so great about it?

It contains a dated, yet idealized and nostalgic representation ofwhat Halloween could have been like (but probably wasnt)

It comments on other popular holidays and the culturalreferences they contain

It presents a creative depiction of childhood and imagination

It combines many aspects of childhood holidays into onefictional holiday, thus setting itself apart from other holiday-

oriented kids movies

All of these aspects makes it very approachable and enjoyablefor ESL learners, from children to adults

Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise is the fourteen-hour adventure of two people who step off their train to

continue their conversation. Jesse (Ethan Hawke), an American student who has recently

had his heart broken, meets Celine (Julie Delpy), a French graduate student who has had a

string of bad luck in the love department. He asks her to spend his last night in Europe with

him roaming the streets of Vienna before his flight back to America the next morning

With sharp wit, the two have insightful conversations about the future, but admit that

they will most likely never see each other again.

In the last seconds before Celine must depart on her train to Paris, they decide to meet each

other in Vienna in exactly six months. The film concludes with the two travellers headed

back to their homes with hopeful smiles spread across their faces.

Before Sunsetpicks up nine years after Jesse and Celine's one night stand. Jesse is

married with a child and has just written a best-selling book about a one-night romance in

Europe. At a book signing in Paris, he spies Celine out of the corner of his eye.

As the two explain their new lives to each other, the effect their one night has had on

them is profoundly different. Jesse, formerly a love-less cynic, is now an optimistic

romantic as that night has changed him forever.

Celine, who at first seems a bit cold to Jesse, eventually admits how heartbroken she has

been for nine years without him, never letting another man get close too her.

The last words of the film are Celine turning to Jesse and saying, 'Baby, you're gonna

miss that plane.' Simply and honestly, he replies, 'I know.'
