I'd say it's probably one of the most profoundly moving masterpieces of the 21st century. Linklater and Malick are two of the only geniuses in art that I know of who are able to espouse a genuinely optimistic view of existence without sentimentality and treacly bullshit. Fuck Boyhood is so good. It's too bad you guys have been ruined by the memes on this board so that you can't even see its quality.
Why?
There's no good reason to hate it.
Not a chance redd*t movie buff. Linklater understands exactly what it's like to be in that awkward stage where you're growing up; that to be a kid is to have things be completely out of your control and be a passenger to your own life; to be a teenager is more than just angst and rebellion, it's trying to make the most of your youth when you don't know how to do it.
Because Linklater understands how the more you grow up, the more adult conversations start to make a scary amount of sense, and the more you start to have them yourself; it's a pretty heartbreaking thing to continue to grow up and see just how flawed your parents are.
Because Linklater understands that the little moments count more than anything else. Camping with dad. Small conversations you have with family and friends. That ride home you get after a good long night with friends. Lying in the grass and staring to the skies - the future is a scary prospect but that's okay.
Because Ellar Coltrane starts off as a pretty good child actor and only manages to get better as Mason gets older and emotions get more complex. Everyone in this film gives a stellar performance, especially Patricia Arquette as a mother trying to hold it all together.
Everyone who sees this film will say they saw part of themselves in the film, and also hopefully get the point because all this rambling with all these "becauses" still hasn't done anything to really get at the heart of the film and they never will.
>film over the course of real person's life so things are especially realistic
>still somehow end up Dawson Casting

BRAVO /tv/MBLR
Patricia Arquette was fucking hot in this
Those fucking tits
Story was boring and unremarkable. You could get the same narrative from scrolling someones facebook timeline or profile pictures but without having to waste 3 hours of your life.

Is this a meme? It was neither profound nor an accurate portrayal of 'growing up'.

I agree with this fellow intellectual
Epic in technical scale but breathlessly intimate in narrative scope, Boyhood is a sprawling investigation of the human condition.
>muh photography
>>63525565
Why? It was an interesting project and it's great that it came to any kind of fruition.
>>63525628

Cause he's gay.
Compelling portrait of what it's like to be gay in a small town. It's such a beautiful moment at the end when Mason no longer is pressured to exhibit attraction to women, and is free to strike up a friendship with someone likeminded, who shares his interests - nature, shopping, boys, liberalism, etc.
