This movie is about a Boys life from the time he was six until he was eighteen and headed off to college, it also highlights life changes in his mom, dad, and sisters life as they grow up. This movie is cinematic gold in my mind, they filmed this movie over 12 years and kept the same cast: Ellar Coltrane, Lorelei Linklater, Patrica Arquette, Ethan Hawke and many more. Richard Linklater is also know for his 70s spin off movie Dazed and Confused which is an instant teen classic. This movie is the reason I got into film to tell story that can't be told by me, it goes back to the saying, I can't tell you but I can show you. I think that this movie was a progressive and culturally relevant movie they had culturally relevant things, small things like playing a gameboy, watching Dragon Ball Z, or the talk of how Bush was screwing our country over hardcore with the war, to the election of President Obama. I know I said this with The Perks of Being a Wallflower but with this I truly mean that this is the defining movie of our generation or any generation, this movie made cinematic history!
