Boyhood
“i just thought there would be more”
the complete massiveness of this film and what it managed to achieve over 12 years is incomprehensible — seeing the time pass so quickly before my eyes, watching everyone evolve and get older is somewhat terrifying but also moving to watch,, in real life you don’t realise everything is changing all the time until u look back ten years later and wonder where the time went. some may say it’s so completely boring and simple but i adore the way it shows how the ordinary and seemingly insignificant moments are the ones we actually end up remembering and longing for later on in life, sharing your bed with your sister, school lunches with friends, getting dropped off at school by your mum, i can see all the memories as a film reel constantly looping in my head all the time and the realisation that all of these moments have shaped me in some way or another is staggering. childhood is the most sacred thing ever to me and im now gonna be thinking about it for the next five hours,, thanks for changing the course of my life richard linklater 🫂🫂🫂
