You and I shared boyhood

4.5. There is a style called "life poetry", then this movie can be called "life movie". Like an essay, there is no central idea, just trivial daily life. A boy's 12-year life is condensed into this nearly three-hour film. In the director's pen, the movie is no longer an entertainment tool to please the audience, but a milestone to record the passage of time. I was fortunate enough to watch this movie in the "boyhood" of the title. Everyone's life is different, and the movie is to seek the greatest common divisor. The meaning of the film's existence is to broaden the boundaries of the art form of film. Let it become an image to record the growth of life, always standing on the peak of the growth film. Although I don't like the director's "Love Is" trilogy; but this one, I have to like (and watch it very interesting). According to the director's idea, a film that records the life of old age can be made in the future. From the ancient years to the time of burial, and finally the performance of the children after the funeral (the most suitable for shooting in autumn and winter).

Like Dapeng's "Good Fortune", the film also needs a professional actor to grasp the general direction.

I recognized him at a glance, the male protagonist of the "Love Is" trilogy. (PS: Ethan Hawke is really a master of philosophy)

The male protagonist's girlfriend Hina, who broke up before graduating high school, is very beautiful, with beautiful blonde hair.

    In Lukács's view, growth is a process in which individuals reconcile with the outside world in time, and [boyhood], which talks about growth itself, is ultimately a film about time. In the abundance of details, we have seen how time can change the lives of all people. This is really not a new idea, and it is indeed too long. What we can finally witness is the beauty of time, the beauty of those moments in the grand time stream, and their meaning in life.

    Yesterday, a reporter complained that his youth was short and his life was wasted by all kinds of boring long movies. I advise these directors to stay at home and have fun with them. But today, Linklater's equally long (even as long as 12 years) movie has once again made people experience the fatal charm of the movie. It even surpassed the dawn, sunset, and midnight series, surpassed Mikhalkov’s Anna, and became a weeping life juxtaposed with 7 UP.

Boyhood quotes

  • Dad: [frustrated with the monosyllabic answers Mason Jr. and Samantha are giving him] No, no, no. I'm not gonna be *that* guy. You know, the "biological father, who I see on the weekends, and I make small talk with him while he drives me places and buys me shit." No.

    Samantha: Dad, these questions are kind of hard to answer.

    Dad: What's so hard to answer about "what sculpture are you making"?

    Samantha: It's abstract!

  • Dad: Is she cute?

    Mason: Yeah.

    Dad: All right, well, here's what you do, all right, first off you gotta ask a girl a lot of questions, then you have to listen to the answers, actually be interested in her, all right, If you can do those things, you'll be light years ahead of all the other guys.
