Boyhood (2014)
it's not a movie about people, it's a movie about LIFE
I think this movie is great, special. but not for the story or the characters, some people thought it's a biography or an emotional movie .. well, this movie is not, so they came disappointed talking about how this movie is boring! if you want to see a sweet movie that you can enjoy and go on, you will hate this movie, "Richard Linklater" did't take 12 years to make movies like The Fault In Our stars, he have something to say about the meaning of life, real life not fake one, and how people deal with it.
so this movie about the philosophy of life, you see people growing up in 12 years, they are normal people, so you suppose to think about your childhood. there are some keys in the script to catch the idea, before the end, Mom (Patricia Arquette) looks back and discovers that her life came to end, her two child left the house and now she is lonely in a small flat, she cries and says "I thought it would be more"
people who hate this movie thought that would be more in a 12 years making movie, but in the real life nothing actually happens, you just grow up fast, and you never "seize the moment"
at the last scene, Mason meets a girl in his first day of collage, she told him that people say "seize the moment" are wrong : "I am thinking it's the other way around. you know, like the moment seizes us."
Mason agreed with this, every one who love this movie will catch this .. it is the mean massage of the movie, (DON'T REGRET ABOUT YOUR SH*t LIFE) because "the moment, it is just .. it is like it's always right now"
now you suppose to understand this movie, if you say it's waste of time, and nothing is happen, well go and watch Twilight Saga! I bet that is your favorite type. if you get the idea of this movie you keep watching it more and more, and every time you will remember your life. there is a waste of time to search a meaning for how many years or what success you achieved or not. Because in real life there nothing happens, except living .. you live each moment, and each moment seizes you while you are looking to seize the moment.
