I wish I didn't wish so hard

I've just watched Before Sunrise, in which Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy play two young people who meet randomly on a EuroStar, and spend one eventful night in Vienna.

He's American, catching a flight out of Vienna after breaking up with his girlfriend in Madrid. She's on the Eurostar going back to Paris after visiting her grandmother in Budapest.

They strike up a conversation and decide they have to keep talking, even after the train reaches Vienna. So he persuades her to join him for one night, then board the train and go back to her life again the next day.

They spend the rest of the night talking about their lives, their hopes and dreams, their past, their quirks, things that annoy them... everything. Compressed conversations of a lifetime, all the while aware of the pressing urgency of the approaching dawn.

And finally, they each go back to their lives, not knowing it will be another nine years before they meet again.

Suffice to say I'm depressed.

I watch Before Sunrise and Before Sunset over and over, and it never fails to make me depressed, but I always comes back to it because I get caught up in the dialogue.
