Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While telling the story about the death of his grandmother, Jesse first says he was attending the funeral of his great-grandmother. From then on he always refers to his grandmother.

Quotes:

Jesse: Would you be in Paris by now, if you hadn't gotten off the train with me?
Celine: No not yet. What would you be doing?
Jesse: I'd probably be hanging around the airport, reading old magazines, crying in my coffee cause you didn't come with me.
Celine: Aww... Actually, I think I'd probably have gotten off the train in Salsburg with someone else.
Jesse: Oh, yeah? Oh, I see. So, I'm just that dumb American momentarily decorating your blank canvas.
Celine: I'm having a great time.
Jesse: Really?
Celine: Yeah.
Jesse: Me too.

EXTREMELY DEEP & WONDERFUL LOVE STORY !

It was by accident that I was scanning the TV channels and found this wonderful film about two beautiful human beings who become attracted to each other in a very innocent and virgin like approach to each other. Ethan Hawke (Jesse) "Tape" '01 and Julie Delpy (Celine) "ER" 94 TV Series (Nicole). This gal and guy, will warm your very heart and soul and make you think deeply into your past relationships and how you really wish you had followed your hearts strings with a guy or gal you deep down loved and lost track of over the years. Jesse and Celine have great conversation, and deep eye contact with a great magnetic explosion between the two of them. I am looking forward to the SEQUEL to this film in 2004 and if you have viewed this film, you will feel the same way.
