Even so, I still feel some resonance

The shooting method of childhood was chaotic and naive, swinging vigorously, fantasizing about 360 degrees, but cowardly, peeking at underwear magazines, burying a bird’s body, I didn’t feel terrible, dirty, or even such things. There is no mercy either. The young mind just accepts and absorbs these things, without emotional impurities, and the mind's feedback to them is also strange. I hate moving and cherish short-term gatherings, but the adult world always collapses unknowingly. It has secret clues that I can't clarify. The boy can always understand the clues of his mother's love, and the stepfather's bastard character also shows up early when playing golf.

After entering puberty, some secondary and non-mainstream dialogues and styles gradually appeared, but this less deliberate recording method is not annoying. This is part of youth and part of you and me. I like Ethan's father. , Especially using the method of making a CD to prepare gifts is really in my heart. There are also clips of a family singing their own songs, which are very, very sweet. Wandering on the street late at night with my little girlfriend, chatting with people around me, and chatting about the future. This scene reminds me of me and you. The future always has a long time before adulthood, waiting anxiously like a boy, and after the real adulthood Time is like a chain tied to an anchor at one end, sinking into the boundless seabed unstoppable, one by one to eliminate the little monsters sent by life, the big boss that has been waiting for has not come, and Mu Ran realizes that there are only a bunch of silent ones at hand. Numbers, dry years, no matter whether it is a difficult moment or a beautiful moment, what is left in memory afterwards are fragments that have lost their original brilliance, and all we have is ourselves at that moment, and at that moment We have been sealed in time, with those who shared that moment with you. So go on the road lightly.

Some favorite clips in the movie: all the clips with my dad, catching butterflies, singing with the stepmother’s family in the forest hut, hooking up the girl’s dialogue in the depths of the party, wandering in the street late at night watching the sunrise from the top of the building, Texas has no end In the Grand Canyon, I reached the apex and saw the sunset turning over page by page in the future, and when the opening title sounded Yellow.

    The saddest thing is that life is getting more and more boring. The boy with shining eyes will eventually become a lifeless and boring boy. Talking or hysterical quarrels will always linger, life will always only get worse and worse, running all the way to death. At a slow speed that tortures people to death. The passage of time in the movie is from the Goblet of Fire to the Half-Blood Prince, from Bush to Obama, from xbox to iPhone, deliberately and vulgar.

    Photography already illustrates the simplest truth: time is the best artist. An ordinary old photo must be "beautiful". This inevitably raises a theoretical question. When time is the biggest gimmick in this feature film, what is the value of "drama" and "relocation"? What if this is a 12-year documentary? Do we still need a director?

Boyhood quotes

  • Mr. Turlington: [Enters the darkroom] How long have you been in here, Mason?

    Mason: Not sure.

    Mr. Turlington: I'm sure: All class. Did you complete your image diary?

    Mason: Not yet.

    Mr. Turlington: Completed your digital contact sheet?

    Mason: Not quite, but, I mean, it's not gonna take me long.

    Mr. Turlington: "Not yet." "Not quite." Darkroom time is extracurricular. I mean, technically, you don't ever have to be in here these days. And certainly not until you've completed your assignments. That's the deal.

    Mason: [Sarcastically] Sorry.

    Mr. Turlington: I'm worried about you, Mason.

    Mason: [laughs] Why is that?

    Mr. Turlington: I'll tell you why: The images you're turning in, they're cool. You're looking at things in a really unique way. Got a lot of natural talent.

    Mason: Thanks.

    Mr. Turlington: Yeah, but that and 50 cents will just get you a cup of coffee in this old world. I've met a LOT of talented people over the years. How many of them made it professionally without discipline, commitment and really good work ethic?

    Mason: [Shrugs]

    Mr. Turlington: I can tell ya. I can count it on two fingers:

    [Makes A-ok hand gesture]

    Mr. Turlington: Zero. It's not gonna happen for you, Mason. The world is too competitive. There are too many talented people who are willing to work hard; and a buttload of morons who are untalented, who are more than willing to surpass you. As a matter of fact, a lot of them are sitting in that classroom out there right now. Hm? You know what they're doing? They're doing their assignments. Which is what you're supposed to be doing, but you're not. You're in here. Now, why is that? You're special, Mason?

    Mason: No, but, I mean, the things you're talking about, like, work ethic or whatever, I feel like I do work pretty hard. I spend the hold weekend taking pictures a lot of times.

    Mr. Turlington: You like football, Mason?

    Mason: Not really.

    Mr. Turlington: Yeah, I know you don't. That's why I've just assigned you to shoot the football game tonight. Okay? Starts at 7.30, I want you to get there early. I want you to shoot a full card, 300 images. I want 'em downloaded, I want 'em sorted, and I wanna see 'em very first thing Monday, okay? Wanna know why I'm doing this?

    Mason: I guess.

    Mr. Turlington: Who do you wanna be, Mason? What do you wanna do?

    Mason: I wanna take pictures. Make art.

    Mr. Turlington: Any dipshit can take pictures, Mason. Art, that's special. What can you bring to it that nobody else can?

    Mason: That's what I'm trying to find out.

    Mr. Turlington: Try harder. Hey, maybe in 20 years you can call old Mr. Turlington, and you can say: "Thank you, sir, for that terrific darkroom chat we had that day."

    [Walks out of the darkroom]

    Mr. Turlington: Get back to class and do your work.

  • Mason: [Finding his mom lying on the garage floor next to Bill] What happened?

    Professor Bill Welbrock: Your mother had a little accident and now she's being dramatic.

    [to mom]

    Professor Bill Welbrock: Get off the fucking floor.
