A helpless boy and a wandering heart

Eddie 2022-04-23 07:01:22

In these 12 years alone, the soul of this

beautiful young man has been stirred up. Most of the time, he is always silent and obedient, with low eyebrows and longing for the love of his father and mother.

Every time you enter someone else's world or leave, you can only accept it passively.

Is the mother wrong?

Of course, it can't be said that there is no, but when a person is not satisfied with food and clothing, he lacks the ability to feel love and care at all. A woman who has been at home for many years, re-entering the society, returning to the workplace, and re-adapting, this is not an inspirational dream, but survival.

In the boyhood, there is still no key.

There are no clues that need to be followed from the beginning to the end, but a true, beautiful and sharp display of a typical American teenager, in the process of moving and changing schools and adapting to the new environment in the process of the separation and integration of his mother, father and several husbands. In loneliness and fear to indifference and alienation, from helplessness to growing up, the growth process of being able to walk out of the house and find the meaning of my life.

The last paragraph, the beginning of the university, the poem and the distance, begins from the meaning of the boy himself. The open wilderness, the crush, come to a new chapter.

Young man, choose the present, choose the future. Of course, life is not always beautiful, but at least you are strong enough to live without dependence.

Too many parents who are overwhelmed by life, who can be responsible for their lives?

    Except for the envy of American college students who can drive to school by themselves, everything else is fine.

    Such a way of taking pictures of all things in detail is not the spirit of montage.

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.
