    Love was brewing before the trilogy, haha. The content of the broken thoughts seems to be loose and disorganized, but in fact, it restores the real life and the real society, and uses the language full of wisdom and philosophy. The events and conversations of the second person are passed from the first person to the third and fourth. . . Endless and quite creative. RL's words are really endearing. Each topic expresses his opinion in a few sentences. It is not eloquent but intriguing and...

    I can understand, and even like, a movie that relies entirely on dialogue. But no plot? ? ? Director Lin's feature film debut is too avant-garde and independent! I personally decided to rename it "Long Picture Scroll of Unemployed Youth Groups in Small Towns in Texas". It still has a sense of life, but most of the dialogues are one-man shows. One side talks non-stop and the other side is just a listener. I don’t know if it’s Director Lin’s intention...

    Richard Linklater's comedy, known as an independent film classic about marginalized youth, was nominated for Best Director at the Independent Spirit Awards that year. Linklater presents the lives of a group of young people wandering on the fringes of society in a creative way, covering a wide range of social issues and urban phenomena in the United States. Taking this film as a precursor, set off the American independent film movement in the early...

    Especially people have the urge to make independent movies on their own

    Richard Linklater, in terms of film techniques, Boyhood and Before Midnight, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset trilogy are all synchronized with the real world time. Such obsessions are exchanged for a moving sense of reality, which can be described as experimental. Practical life. And the other one,...

    The story is not necessary

    The director said. Watching the movie, you can really feel the weight of this sentence on the screen.

    Should Have Stayed at Bus Station: [babbling to silent cab driver] Man, I just had the weirdest dream - back on the bus there? Did you ever have one of those dreams that are completely real. I mean they're so vivid. It's just like completely real. It's like, there's always something bizarre going on, though. I have one about every 2 years or something. I always remember 'em real good. Like there's always someone getting run over, or something really weird. Um, one time I had lunch with Tolstoy. Another time I was a roadie for Frank Zappa. Anyway, so this dream I just had was just like that, except instead of anything bizarre going on, I mean, there was just nothing going on at all. Man. It was like the Omega Man. It was just nobody around. I was just traveling around, you know, staring out the windows of buses, and trains, and cars. When I was at home, I was like flipping through the TV stations endlessly. Reading. How dreams do you have when you read in a dream, you know?
