      how to live

      When I was sixteen or seventeen, my mother told me that I would be free when you were admitted to university; when I was in my twenties, my mother said to me, if you can find a job, I will let go of my heart; now, Mom is nagging all day, when you marry a wife and go home, I don't want anything. But I know that after marrying a daughter-in-law, my mother still looks forward to holding her grandson and taking her to school, just like my grandmother back then.
      Later, a few classmates ate...

      Embrace youth in movies



      How long does it take to make a movie? The short one is more than a month, and the long one is sad, but when twelve years are condensed into a 166-minute film, a 6-18-year-old Texas boy's growth and his family's trivial story, "Boyhood". "Using the simplest structure, it retains and interprets the best green years of a person's life in the world of light and shadow.


      For movies, we have become accustomed to the assumption of its time background, and showing a...

      Time is a trace that does not need to be deliberately depicted

      Of all the films I've seen this year, "Boyhood" is not a work of ups and downs or a well-structured work, but it is a subject that I particularly love. I haven't written a review for any movie in a long time, but after seeing this sincere film that Richard Linkley took 12 years to make, I suddenly felt the urge to write something about it.

      In most soul-stirring works, "time" is one of the elements that is difficult to escape. Only by extending the clues for a long time can the...

      time's going by

      Art films often have a strong academic or liberal flavor. Obviously Linklater belongs to the latter, but the themes such as the values ​​and emotions conveyed by his films are so in line with the calm and calm required by the current impetuous society. In the heart, noise reduction and moisturizing, it is very down-to-earth and in line with the mainstream values ​​of society.

      Although "Boyhood" is Linklater's latest masterpiece, it is my own reason that I only sent this film review...

      A series of small actors chosen supernaturally. My mother is always calculating the future and living for the future every day, but the "future" has let her down again and again. In the end, she found that there was not much future to calculate, and she couldn't help crying in despair. My son wondered, "Why did you move the time forward by 40 years?" In addition, he finally realized that he should live in the moment and feel the moment. Time flies, without leaving any traces, life cannot sum up...

      In terms of the sense of form, such a montage from small to large has a familiar look and feel with the pseudo-long mirror connected to the long mirror of Gonzalez's "Birdman" from beginning to end. On the other hand, this documentary style Time-engineering movies, like Ridley Scott or Christopher Nolan, have a similar feel to a sci-fi movie and a real movie, and it's also very...

      It's very touching, but the running account is also our life. Days go by, time can't go back, but we are already today. That nuance is so real. At the beginning of the movie, my mother shouted to her husband: I went from someone else's daughter to someone else's mother, and finally said on the day MJ moved away: This is the saddest day for me. Too many details and feelings in the movie are indeed brought by twelve...

      I watched it all in one go, I really like it, it's like watching the children next door grow into adults day by day, from the short daily life of parents to see the traces of the years, the changes and the same characters; the director spent 12 years filming a boy's growth calmly, but he didn't Using the clumsy subtitles of a certain year and a certain month, and using subtle situations to suggest the passage of time, is more careful than parents taking care of their children, and has the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Richard Linklater insisted on shooting with a small actor to show his natural growth and complete life experience. In order not to disturb Ella Coltrane's normal life, the shooting was only done in a short time during the summer vacation.
    The movie trailer has been viewed 3.4 million times on Youtube, which is a miracle of literary films.
    Filming began in 2002. For the next 12 years, director Richard Linklater would spend three or four...

    Evaluation action

    Creatively subverting, but focusing on daily details, "Boyhood" is separated between classic movies and contemporary art movies, without falling into any traditional stereotypes. It is a model of contemporary film realism, and the pleasure it brings to people is obvious and mysterious. There are many reasons to fall in love with this movie, from the story to the beautiful characters, they were born for us and died for us. It makes...
