Sunrise: A Tale of Two Humans is a story told almost entirely in stereotypes. This is intentional. The story is very basic, and cluttering it with nuance or surprise would detract from his impact. A man is tempted. He overcomes temptation, but almost loses everything anyway. Once he realizes what could have been lost his life is changed forever. The end.
The beauty of the movie is in its simplicity, and its execution. I got to see it again last night as part of the Wexner Center's Film History 101 series.
