A female character you can't forget...

Here is why:
Here is why:
The '90s were a special time for the youth of the U.S. because the young, mainstream characters who came before and after were temporarily shelved for indie heroines, including 'Before Sunrise's' Celine. Julie Delpy's leading character was a natural and
engaging lead who had one very special -- and rare -- attribute: She's one of the few female characters of popular cinema whose worth and storyline are based on her intelligence.
Jesse quickly becomes enamored with Celine because of theoretical discussions and recollections that delve into all manner of discussion. Whimsical revelation flows into crass discourse into idealized dreams and chatter about harsh realities. The two-part series is romantic not because of the romance, but because the respect and lust comes from each character peeling through the other's mind. Neither has to present themselves as some strange and questionable ideal to be romantically liked. They simply have to be honest and smart.
Ode To Julie By: James Hamilton
In love with a concept, a character on the screen
She's exotic, a real beauty that steals every scene
An accent so sensuous, eyes so expressive
They leave you with yearning quite excessive.
I saw her in sunrise and sunset, an actress so keen
It's tantalizing to watch her create someone real as Celine.
So passionate and honest with a sweetness uncontrived
There’s been no one to compare since she arrived
She understands love with all its pain and pleasure
That love is all enduring and something you can't measure.
Some don't quite know how to take this Euromerican
As for me --- It's definite --- I am a fan!
Always on your mind, an itch you can't ignore
Wanting, waiting for some new thing, always wanting more.
Filled with love and pain, her music is sweet, deep and disturbing,
Lyrics so full of meaning and feeling some even say perturbing
Great intellect, prolific writer, musical talent, a star without equal
I think that, as for her, there will never be a sequel.
Gone is a color I never want to see her wear,
Thank you Albert and Marie, you must be quite a pair. © 2010
