welcome to this bad world

This movie, how to say, is a little too long for me, and I haven't finished it yet. But it's really a good movie, I can't bear to put it down, I'm afraid I won't remember it, so let's write it off and on. The mainland is called boyhood, and the translation in Hong Kong and Taiwan means that we all grew up like this. A boy's growth from the age of 6 to 18, director Richard Linklater took 12 years to complete this work. It carefully depicts the growth process of the child and the changes in all aspects of its parents, allowing the audience to experience the traces of the passage of time in a nuanced way. This is what I think the director is most attentive to.
Whatever the theme, as long as the film is about boyhood, whether its narration does not correspond to our personal reality, it will at least remind us of ourselves.

    This is an "American movie", not a "Hollywood movie." But so many give 5 stars... In fact, if the director is long enough, he can continue to film "Youth" and "Middle Age", and finally put it together into a trilogy "Glory and Dream: The Age of Americans."

    Some people lament the meaning of time to people, some express the desire for growth, some appreciate the joy of change, and some escape the panic of squandering. In the final analysis, when the swallows snapped the water, the swallows shot the green waves, the world is really good. It is fleeting and never reappears.

Boyhood quotes

  • Dad: [frustrated with the monosyllabic answers Mason Jr. and Samantha are giving him] No, no, no. I'm not gonna be *that* guy. You know, the "biological father, who I see on the weekends, and I make small talk with him while he drives me places and buys me shit." No.

    Samantha: Dad, these questions are kind of hard to answer.

    Dad: What's so hard to answer about "what sculpture are you making"?

    Samantha: It's abstract!

  • Dad: Is she cute?

    Mason: Yeah.

    Dad: All right, well, here's what you do, all right, first off you gotta ask a girl a lot of questions, then you have to listen to the answers, actually be interested in her, all right, If you can do those things, you'll be light years ahead of all the other guys.
