The sequel to Before Sunrise was almost the same as the first. Both Celine and Jesse are infatuated with each other and this is glaringly obvious. I don't believe what they feel for each other is love or anything else but an intense, romantic lust. This is made apparent by the way that they have moved on with other people. Jesse, even, is married with a son. Even though this isn't a happy marriage, I believe that if he was really in love with Celine half as much as he claims he is, he would've waited until a time that he thought they could be together again.
What this movie says about love is that it's a fleeting feeling. Celine and Jesse both feel the same way, but they've only met twice. Both claim that they're in love, but they both live their own separate lives outside of each other and can go years and years without actually being around. This idea contradicts almost everything we've talked about in regards to love and changes it to ultimately be a feeling instead of a state of mind.
