While we get to see them go from selfish people to really refined adults, Mason seems to just float through the movie as more of an observer who isn't changing all that much, except to be more gloomy, and his sister too. Maybe I'm a bit too old to be the kid and a bit too young to be the parent. I have known versions of every character- both in subtle and full blown versions. What makes us "normal"? Boyhood 2014 15 2h 45m Independent Films After divorcing, a mother and father continue to share the task of guiding their young son through youth and adolescence, and finally to adulthood. the guy who becomes the responsible adult when the right woman enters his life.... the woman who ends up with the wrong guy for stability..... the artistic kid who falls in love and keeps his convictions while his girl decides she wants something more shallow.
You sense the kid pushing back against these pressures.
It's a very real, believable depiction of life and its' ups and downs. Like most of us when we head for college, the kids are about to be hit with a predictable wake up call that will answer that question, but we will not get to see it. But he doesn't express much real wisdom until his kids edge toward adolescence and become tight-lipped and undemonstrative, and he pulls the car over during a family trip to demand that they have real conversations (amusingly, Samantha makes the same request of him).

If life is "about" anything, it's about realizing and accepting that fact: that everything is fleeting. It is easy to conclude that filming as they did inhibited their ability to really inhabit their characters. Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a boy named Mason, who ages from 6-18 years old on screen. Instead, they stuck with the genre and achieved the consistency that makes this film roll out smoothly and look more realistic.The "real time" gimmick can't quite make up for a weak plot... Olivia is a college professor and a liberal feminist, but she's still bought into the husband-and-wife-and-two-kids-equals-a-real-family thing. Fantastic achievement filmed over 12 years.

She studies "unconditioned response" in one of her grad school courses but it takes a few years for her to figure out, in practical terms, what the phrase means.There are points near the end of "Boyhood" when Olivia might remind you of George Bailey, the hero of "The film's title and choice of protagonist have been criticized (gently but firmly) for unthinkingly confirming that heterosexual men are at the center of the universe. Beautiful and believable, a true cimematic masterpiece and completely original with a great core cast. The question seems to be - "will the kids eventually reach the same refined, life-giving growth and adulthood that their parents are gradually learning to master, or will they even want to try at all?" Or is free will an illusion? It's the river down which the scenes and characters travel without consciously realizing that they are on individual journeys that all have the same ending. The core of this is a testament to the human experience. And it delivers beyond compare. Time is the core around which all of this movie's musings on childhood and parenthood are woven. The totality matters. ("I was somebody's daughter, and then I was somebody's fucking mother," she says.) "Boyhood", shot in real time over about 10 years, held my attention, but if it had not been shot over such an extended period, I wonder if it would have received so many awards? Not so much a movie as required reading for any generation. A true pleasure from start to finish. Bit over hyped in my opinion.

Linklater is clearly a keen observer and a great interpreter of human interaction and has created something of intimate power and insight, which flows on screen so naturally. I think the premise of this film is great, and it must have taken guts as well as a lot of perseverance for the director, cast and crew to embark on and stick with the same project for 12 years.

In high school, a photography teacher tells the budding shutterbug hero that he needs to move away from arty compositions and learn to shoot sports so that he can make a living, advice which assumes that Mason, Jr. wants to earn a living with photography rather than treating it as an avocation, or as the visual version of a diary. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. The life of Mason, from early childhood to his arrival at college. It's emotional boot camp, with versions of hazing.
