Boyhood was such a creative and
experimental movie that I thought really leaped through time as someone growing
up through the same era as I did.
The choices made early in the process
to be able to make this film were incredibly risky and smart which is what
really brought the movie to life. This kid, who we see experience childhood in
some positive and negative ways really lives in the time we live now.
Many films and television series really
bring out the fantasy of what real life is but Boyhood showcases life in it's
fractured state. The optimistic end to the film really hits me hard especially
after having to watch what he had to go through in his childhood, yet he still
had the optimism to continue.
Boyhood for me is really just about
life and what it means to be living in our world as it is now. It's interesting
to see a movie portray something as simple as growing up, but put it on a
pedestal like this for many to connect to.
I really connect with the main
character because he is so much like the audience who has grown up in the time
that he did. Overall, the film is spectacular and really deserves a watch from
all of you out there.
