"It’s like our time together is just ours: it’s our own creation." -- Celine, 'Before Sunrise'

Film Love and Fate in The Clock and Before Sunrise -- comparing similar films fifty years apart: "The aspect of each film that I want to look at here is its apparent attitudes towards the notion of fate - specifically the idea that fate is being something that controls love. It is a long-perpetuated convention of romance and romantic comedy that, not only will the love the film’s two protagonists feel for each other at its end survive, but that it will survive because it is fate that has brought the lovers together. This convention means that the audience understands the characters to not have full control over their destinies."
