Whatever the theme, as long as the film is about boyhood, whether its narration does not correspond to our personal reality, it will at least remind us of ourselves.

This movie, how to say, is a little too long for me, and I haven't finished it yet. But it's really a good movie, I can't bear to put it down, I'm afraid I won't remember it, so let's write it off and on. The mainland is called boyhood, and the translation in Hong Kong and Taiwan means that we all grew up like this. A boy's growth from the age of 6 to 18, director Richard Linklater took 12 years to complete this work. It carefully depicts the growth process of the child and the changes in all aspects of its parents, allowing the audience to experience the traces of the passage of time in a nuanced way. This is what I think the director is most attentive to.

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.

In twelve years of shooting, Linklater is definitely the most talkative director in the world. Life is plain and trivial, and growing pains are gentle and delicate. Life is always full of farewells and confession, but I still believe that the people who should meet will meet eventually.

Mason: I wish I could use the bumpers...
Dad: You don't want the bumpers, life doesn't give you bumpers.

Samantha: [as the family leaves their house for the last time before moving] Goodbye, yard! Goodbye, crepe myrtle! Goodbye, mailbox! Goodbye, box of stuff Mommy won't let us take with us but we don't want to throw away. Goodbye, house, I'll never like Mommy as much for making us move!
Mom: Samantha! Why don't you say goodbye to that little horseshit attitude, okay, because we're not taking that in the car.
