There is a cool breeze in summer year after year, although there is nosy to worry about, it is still a good time in the world

The pre-promotional introduction of "Boyhood" satisfies the habit of some people including me to spy on other people's lives, as if sitting in the distance to see how other people's lives unfold. Since 2002, the director has convened every summer who starred in the summer vacation, "dad" Ethan Hawke, "mother" Patricia Arquette, "sister" is the director's own daughter, and filmed a section every year to form this growth story, watching each Personal changes, the power of watching the years calmly condenses in these 160 minutes.

The most innocent and beautiful stage in the first twelve years of life. Some elements are like documentaries, and after all, they are movies carefully planned and interpreted through scripts, but they are "anti-dramatic" movies. This is the youthful account of an ordinary Texas boy, showing his daily routine every summer. Sometimes you think there will be some climax, there will be some fierce conflict, but it doesn't happen.

These twelve years are very far-sighted inlaid with the popular things of the year, and you will see yourself in his growth process. Having experienced those unhappy things, maybe you have experienced the broken family, your parents can’t speak well for more than a minute; maybe you’re tired of moving, your childhood stumbles in the farewells and acquaintances; maybe your first love was so beautiful In the end, they still have to talk badly at each other. Of course, there are also happy memories. I heard her talking about the crying Myrtle in my mother’s arms; I was excitedly waiting for the release of Harry Potter’s new book with my friends at platform 9 and three-quarters; I was happily waiting for my own in the darkroom. Film imaging; listening to the Beetle in the car with dad heading to the campground.

Sometimes I worry about some scenes, such as boys’ staying out, talking provocatively about women, thinking that there will be conflicts, but they still pass through unsalted jokes; sometimes thinking that mothers will find true love, But reality is not a fairy tale. My mother got rid of three failed marriages and moved into her own house, becoming a wise and intelligent but lost woman; sometimes she thought that the beautiful Sheena would always smile and watch Mason say "You're wired", but Or cheated the sports man mercilessly. No drug or alcohol abuse, no promiscuity group p, and of course no hard work to break the world and shock the world. In this way, this gentler character has grown into an ordinary young man with a little literary and sullen temperament, carrying his back. The camera went to university life.

I can't help but think of the actor's own life. It must be a completely different scene. Fortunately, this film is not a documentary, and the boy's private life is guaranteed to be unaffected to the greatest extent. The most memorable is the 15-year-old summer clip. Perhaps this period is the so-called secondary 2 period. The male protagonist has long hair that covers half of his face. It has been repeatedly captured that he unnaturally steals the camera. No problem, the performance of this period, outside and inside the camera, trying to perform hard but always affected by awkward emotions, is the most exciting in my opinion. People are always contradictory, always confused, always sensitive in their hearts, but expressing rough and misplaced expressions, and they are unable to achieve complete harmony with each other. The son thought his father would always remember his promise to give him that cool car when he was 15 years old, but his father sold it nonchalantly and spent several days intently burning the perfect Beatles compilation for his son's birthday. Just like the song they sang in the courtyard at night:
"I hope we will always be together, but wandering wherever I want to go.
I want you to relax and be natural, but I still ask to be with me.
I want you to fully understand me. , But still remain mysterious and
think deeply about everything, but there is still no need to
climb forward to the top of the mountain and look at the cliff, dance barefoot on the blade,
reach for the stars, grab the tiger’s tail...
If I don’t try, I will never fail
If you love too much, you will become hate
you. You will never leave home. You will never be late and
eat too much and you will get fat. Buying a dog will offend a cat.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the journey, because

when you get together, you will lose. " On the night of your 20th birthday, sitting on the side of the flowerbed crying and said: "No, no, I want a different life, there should be more and more!" Sometimes you are disappointed in your life because you are disappointed in your life. Expectations are too high, but why don’t most people live it plainly? Why don’t you think that you should experience more, but ignore your current excitement, The moment seizes you. The moment is now.

"Time is a river, and yesterday is a river bank. Everyone is a passenger on a boat. One day, they will separate, gently raise their hands, and bid farewell to the past." Everything has become more precious after the baptism of time. This is the charm of this movie, no special effects and no makeup are needed to truly record your present moment. No sensation, no chicken soup, people come and go, and teenagers grow up. Ordinary and unique, only belongs to his youth.
