Boyhood
I really enjoyed this film and it was worth the duration.
It's fucking crazy how Linklater has been making this film for 12 years so the actors and the characters would have grown up at the same time...and I think this is a big advantage of this film.
I have revised some of my own behaviors or of my parents in the characters.
As always Linklater did a great job with the script, the direction and the photography.
Nicole: You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it's the other way around. You know, like the moment seizes us. Mason: Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's constant - -the moment. It's just... It's like it's always right now, you know? Nicole: Yeah.
Mason: I just feel like there are so many things that I could be doing and probably want to be doing that I'm just not.
