Opinions on Boyhood?
average film. becomes insufferable towards the end.
perhaps linklater's weakest film? still think it deserved the oscar more than birdman. i'll take 12 years gimmick over tracking shot gimmick any day of the week.

>You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it's the other way around. You know, like the moment seizes us.
Memes aside, it's not really good.
Will be considered as a cult film in 50 years, screencap this.
Linklater is great though, Everybody Wants Some!! is fucking glorious.

It was supposed to be cringey young intellectual dialogue
Or was it
Did you know it took 12 years to make?
Once Mason turned 15 he just became more and more of an insufferable prick, other than that it was alright.
People wanted some schmaltzy sentimental wank about growing up when really it's just accurately portraying reality.

It seemed inexcusable that they fell into Dawson Casting when the entire gimmick was that they filmed it as the kid grew up
>Richard Linklater tells the life story of your typical Richard Linklater fan but forgets that your typical Richard Linklater fan is an entirely unlikable pretentious douche.
I kinda like it for some reason.
Probably for all the deep thoughts Mason develops towards the end. It does something to me that I'd like to listen to it again and again.
The rest of the movie is really boring and average though.

Sounds like somebody got passed over by the hot girl for a linklater fan. Cry moar, fag boy.

>hot girl
>for a linklater fan
It has a soul.
If I take 12 years to write my review, will you see that as a profound and deep piece of art?
The mommy tits were pretty kino but it was gimmicky garbage otherwise

literally nothing of note.

It was aite
It gives some feels, not the best Linklater but its far from being his worst.
Friend of mine loves Linklater movies.
>"its so real and personal, like its real life up on the screen"
>"it showed how complex life is and that its not an exciting action packed adventure, like the movies show"
>"the dialogue was so true, "You know how everyone says seize the moment? I dont know, maybe its the other way around, and the moment seizes us". Thats just amazing!"

I'm actually kind of worried about how people growing up will be influenced by this movie.
The main message of the movie is that you shouldn't think of life in big moments, but that you should instead enjoy the moment. But it's exactly this attitude that turns the protagonist into a slacker pothead. Is this really what we should be teaching people? It's such a devaluation of life. It's not too far from outright nihilism.
I'd love to see a Boyhood movie where Boyhood works to become an ambitious business man, or an influential scientist. That would actually be helpful for people.

Fucking yes, the protagonist gets all this advice thrown at him to improve himself and he just shrugs and moves on, not paying attention to any of it.
You know what? I want to see a Boyhood 2, just to see where the fucking chump ended up with his outlook, and dont pull a movie turn and give a happy ending out of nowhere, show the result of being a pseudo philosopher waster instead of someone who is driven by a goal and purpose.
i'd rather watch yiyi tbqh faehm
when he was young he was super cute
he got even cuter when he started painting his nails :3
