real life growth

It's probably the most storyless movie I've ever seen, but it's one of the greatest experimental movies I've ever seen—twelve years of filming a real teenager growing up.
From a 7-year-old child to a 19-year-old youth, the appearance, voice, appearance, and character have undergone tremendous changes. This is not a movie, but more like a documentary.
At the end, the mother cried before her son was about to move out. Her life was over like this. She wanted to live more, but all three marriages failed. In the end, the child grew up and left home. The focus of her life was empty.
Watching the little boy grow up makes me feel especially cherished when my son was still a child. In a blink of an eye, the child will grow up. When the child was young, I hoped that he would not grow up too fast, but time is not forgiving. When the child grows up, we are old, and our parents are even more old when they need our care. Most of my life has passed, and it has been more than ten years earlier. What kind of life do we want?
Living, living in the moment, enjoying the moment is the best reward in life.
The film is the best, the boy leaves home happily, and can freely develop his world and life, and another life cycle begins.
Seeing the boy driving to college on a desolate road alone after leaving home, I cried, whether I was happy for the child to grow up or sad for his mother, I don't know, I just feel that life is short, and the good times are short.

    Some people lament the meaning of time to people, some express the desire for growth, some appreciate the joy of change, and some escape the panic of squandering. In the final analysis, when the swallows snapped the water, the swallows shot the green waves, the world is really good. It is fleeting and never reappears.

    What was done in three minutes in the pastoral festival of the deceased made him grind for three hours. Maybe it’s just to show everyone how this kid changed from Scarlett Johansson to Josh Brolin

Boyhood quotes

  • Dad: [Mason Jr. bowls a gutterball] Alright, don't worry about it.

    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.
