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.

They decided to just let humans turn themselves into robots. That's what's going on right now. I mean, why not? They're billions of us just laying around, not really doing anything. We don't cost anything. We're even pretty good at self-maintenance and reproducing constantly. And as it turns out, we're already biologically programmed for our little cyborg upgrades. I read this thing the other day about how When you hear that ding on your inbox, you get like a dopamine rush in your brain. It's like we're being chemically rewarded for allowing ourselves to be brainwashed. How evil is that? We're fucked.
