Brooke and Nick, the two protagonists, will understand many aspects of their lives together, learning from each other. A comedy to think about a lot. The plot of Before We Go
The story of ‘Before We Go’ begins in a train station, a perfect romantic setting. Nick (Chris Evans) quietly plays the trumpet, occasionally recognized by passers-by. With the closing time at the gates, the crowd becomes thin and he begins to pack. We notice that Nick is plagued by some concerns. Just then, a girl named Brooke (Alice Eve) comes running, evidently in a hurry to catch the last train, which she narrowly misses.
Brooke, agitated and panicked at having missed the last train, exits the station and thus begins, with a setback, a night full of surprises.
Outside the station, now surrendered, Nick finds her standing in the corner, trying to fix her phone. Like a good Samaritan, he offers to help her. She rejects him at first, but at her insistence, he is convinced. Thus begins a night full of adventures, fortunes and misfortunes. Not wanting to let her venture alone into an unknown city at night, Nick decides to keep her company. Between a clairvoyant, art and long chats, Nick and Brooke will be able to face their problems and solve them once and for all. Before we go and destiny
One of the most common ideas in a romantic story, touted by Hollywood, is a night or day spent with a complete stranger. The concept of putting two totally different characters in an environment, where a certain amount of time dictates their actions and therefore their feelings for each other, has worked successfully for a large number of times. Before We Go is an example of this.
The idea of ​​two people who have just met, but who will not be together for long, gives depth to the emotions – both in the characters and in the audience – and allows the narrator to bring out any nuance of their personalities. What brings them together, what holds them together on the journey, how similar their thoughts are, how different their backgrounds are, what drives their current travels, what their destinations are. The protagonists guide and outline the story, at the mercy of a clear destiny. Additionally, the fleeting nature of their relationship adds more intimacy and meaning to their actions and dialogue. The clock ticking on their destinies incites a more passionate response from the audience. Just like everything else, the value of love increases when you put an expiration date on it.Brooke: the self-confident girl
Before We Go stars two protagonists: Brook and Nick.
The moment Brooke walks onto the screen, we know her situation is more critical than Nick’s. This also gives us the idea that she will be her her urgency to control the main flow of the story. Throughout the film, we see fragments of her life, all the way to creating a complete picture. Brooke is an ambitious and bright girl. We don’t know much about her childhood or even her college days, but we do know that she and she were good enough to land the job of an art collector in London.
She describes herself as “the girl who recognized love and jumped”. This description gives us the idea of ​​a type of person who knows exactly what he wants and does not hesitate to take risks to get it. This is the quality that has made her life so successful – personally and professionally. And also the one who values ​​her relationships. Strong and risk-loving, Brooke Dalton seems to have understood everything in her life. And that’s exactly why she gets out of control when something goes wrong. Nick: frail and bold
While Brooke introduces herself as an individual who has mostly understood life, Nick is someone who has lived most of her life conditioned by others. He is very easily influenced by his choices and wishes. An example
He had a crazy love of music but turned to medicine. Now, I wouldn’t blame him for exactly that, because people often don’t choose what they love, but what helps them pay their bills. But if he had a more defined strength of character, he would have chosen his passion for him. Compared to Brooke, therefore, Nick is by no means used to having things under control and spends his life at the mercy of other people’s decisions. In Before We Go, freedom and independence are two particularly important themes.
