A movie that deserves no matter how many awards it wins, no one can have the patience to make a movie with almost no ups and downs in 12 years, even involving his daughter in the whole process. It is not the first time that director Richard Linklater has done this kind of thing that is more patient than time. It will become a classic Before series in film history (Before Sunrise loves before dawn (1995), Before Sunset loves at sunset and dusk. (2004), Before Midnight Love Before Midnight (2013)) uses two 9-year intervals to make a clear-water love story.
Ethan Hawke is as thin as a lightning bolt in every frame. In the past 12 years, he has also experienced ups and downs in his career. Now he occasionally appears as a writer. After enough deposition, He has this energy to express in pictures and words. Over the years, he has been the director's queen, and has been following the director's toss. While appearing on the scene, he also actively participated in the creation of the script. It is estimated that this sense of participation can allow him to play a topical role for 12 or 18 years. When I was young, I chose a cool classic car that was like a treasure, but when I became a father again, I chose a 7-seater family car. His role in this film recreates the history of a man's upbringing, from unruly youth to rediscovering the responsibility of life. Although he is out of place in the daily life of a pair of children, as a father, every conversation and every outing he has with Mason is a crucial moment for a teenager.
The "mother" who has always been rude to others, has not changed much in her appearance in 12 years. She has lost some weight and is more beautiful. While gaining knowledge and self, they have to face the fact that children are drifting away. No matter how strong the heart is, when facing the empty wall, he can't help but cry. But it is gratifying to see her growth as a woman, not sinking in self-pity, but using her life to influence others.
The male protagonist has changed from a pinkish little fresh meat to a decadent little cool brother. He has experienced all kinds of ordinary people's joys, sorrows and joys, and experienced all kinds of drifting. The staring girl's attention. Boyhood has since said goodbye, and a new life has begun. Life is nothing more than this. To paraphrase a drooling sentence, company is the best confession. Companionship takes time, so the length of time is the best confession.
