Let's be honest, I don't like it.

I heard that it was a film that took 12 years to make, from the boy's 5-year-old to his 18-year-old. Many people praised it as a real life epic.

But for a non-literary and vulgar woman like me,

The only interesting point in the movie is watching the boy and his sister go from cute little dolls to awkward teenagers,

When I got to high school, I suddenly became handsome again.

As a layman, I like movies that make me think hard: "What the hell is going on here?", like:

Or movies that make me wow: "That's fine!", for example:

Like this, the years are like water, nothing really happened movies I appreciate the incompetence:

The mother married and left, divorced and married, (she is the only motivated person in the play who uses learning to change her destiny, which is a rare real number);

My father can be an actuary, and Etahn Hawke is as good as ever;

The elder sister is the director's daughter and has no sense of existence;

The younger brother is the protagonist. He grew up playing games from one house to another. The difference is the game partner and the game console;

The story, which takes place in Texas, is about a boy growing up, and as a mother who is also raising a child in America, I don’t feel the slightest resonance.

There are generally two classifications of children in American movies, and this is the case for this pair of siblings:

One is to show all kinds of cows since childhood, grades A+, sports into the school team, popular, regardless of parents, will enter a good university smoothly and easily in the future;

One is that I have been unable to do anything since I was a child, my grades are sparse, I don’t work hard, I am not good at sports, I am bullied at school, I am a little withdrawn, and my parents don’t care. When I go to high school, I explore the meaning of life, and I have the pursuit of art and talent. Qian went to the university for a drinking party and then went to find himself.

In a certain year, all the Olympic math teams in the United States were Chinese, and then they won the gold medal. A very classic media comment was:

"This proves that our Chinese kids are just as good as theirs."

It seems that in raising children, racial differences far outweigh geographical differences.

Boyhood quotes

  • Mason: I finally figured it out. It's like when they realized it was gonna be too expensive to actually build cyborgs and robots. I mean, the costs of that were impossible. 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.

  • Mason: So what's the point?

    Dad: Of what?

    Mason: I don't know, any of this. Everything.

    Dad: Everything? What's the point? I mean, I sure as shit don't know. Neither does anybody else, okay? We're all just winging it, you know? The good news is you're feeling stuff. And you've got to hold on to that.
