sam borden I have to disagree. I've watched many movies and shows where you are really excited for it and then are totally unable to watch it because the acting is so bad that it's just not realistic at all it's just some random people saying lines with cues. I thought Ellar did great in his part and he pulled it off.

yeah, that is very true. one of the examples that come to my mind is Chandler Riggs (Carl Grimes) from The Walking Dead. In the first three seasons of the show, I think his acting was good, especially for a child actor. But from then on, I feel like his acting went downhill as he got older.

His acting is perfect. It might seem bad, but that's literally how teenagers act. They don't take things seriously, often their words are dry, devoid of emotion. So it's actually perfect lol

It's so fascinating to me how many people hate this movie. It has affected me emotionally more deeply than any other film ever has. It moved me to the core, and changed the way that I think about the world. It reminded me how short life is, and how important it is to spend it with family and friends having experiences, not focusing on making money and purchasing things. It also reminded me that even the most misguided and harmful person has a reason that they act the way that they do. It was, to me personally, an incredibly powerful film. It's definitely not a Saturday-night popcorn film for the purpose of sheer entertainment. It is an experience that touches on some of the deepest levels of what it means to be human.

Absolutely. As stated, it's the moments IN BETWEEN. Growing up isn't packed with all the action. For example, prom is generally just your senior year of high school. That leaves everyone with the moments in between. The daily perseverance of getting up every day, thoughts while going to school, thinking about a girl in class on a Tuesday, etc. May not be the most intersecting to many, but it's truly an iconic experiment.

sidenotes, the songs his dad picks for the beatles compilation: band on the run, my sweet lord, jealous guy, photograph... band on the run = family on the run from abusive husband/or on run when they first moved. my sweet lord = religious grandparents, bible present, and baby being baptised etc. jealous guy = girlfriend cheats. Photograph = masons interest and hobby/job.Also, patricia arquttes outfit always matches the background of the scene she's in. I heard it was to represent that she is the 'permanent fixture/consistent' in masons life

Don't look for a plot, script, twist or anything like that. This is not a movie you watch. This is an experience you share.

Exactly, i watched this video first to understand Linklater's goal. I did give it a try for their 12 year effort and it was worth it. This isn't that type of popcorn movie to watch, this is an experience. As a 2000s kid myself i truly could relate to this story and Mason's. At some point there are few scenes that made me feel nostalgic. This is one of the greatest movie ever made!! Love this

For those criticizing the movie for "having no plot" or for not being "dramatic enough"--THAT'S the fucking point! Geez I really do hate dumb people. I mean, it's completely fine if you didn't like the movie and if Linklater's style doesn't do it for you then by all means, you're definitely allowed to hate it. But to nag and question WHY it doesn't have elements of what's traditionally considered action-filled movies means you're too stupid to know that's the freakin' INTENTION of the movie. And that's why most people actually like it, because they're able to actually relate to it in some way or another. Like they said in this video, it's the periods of time between the milestones that actually make up life, not the milestones themselves.

Precisely- well said! It's ALL about the moments... I can't say I really agree with those who say it has no plot. It just isn't a plot that fits into the cookie-cutter, traditional, classical or conventional forms that have become ubiquitous in our culture. Then again perhaps that means the term "plot" doesn't apply as well as "storyline", "chronicle" or "sequence of events/moments". Whatever terms may most appropriately or accurately describe "Boyhood", I feel that it's inescapable NOT to recognize what an epic, unique & amazing project this piece is- even if you don't care for it.

One of the best creative experience ever. When you are watching the movie, you just don't realize it but once you walk out of the theater, that's when it hits you hard. To understand and digest what you just witnessed for the last 3 odd hours. I myself felt little grown up when I walked out after watching this.

This film provokes thought and curiosity about life and growing up in a way that no other show has before. The subtle beauty that unravels throughout this movie, scene after scene is almost so subtle that you could watch it twenty times and still not fully recognize all of the small beautiful moments that Linklater has crafted. It isn't that heroic, it isn't even that dramatic, which is what sets it apart from practically every other movie out there. It's the perfect portrait of life, and it has affected me very deeply. Definitely one the best movies I have ever seen.

And then you start to realize time goes by really fast and change happens quickly. Also, I'm 18, so watching Ellar grow up in this movie is pretty cool because that was my childhood, you know, everything from pop culture to fashion and the way things were done I mean I can't explain it, throughout the entire movie I'm constantly making these personal connections and it was absolutely amazing to watch, definitely brought tears to my eyes.

We now live in a society which has and continues to recklessly attack those "old-fashioned, boring, traditional western values" which were key to having a meaningful, fulfilled life, regardless of losses, disappointments, setbacks,etc. Everyday when someone points to the psychologically destructive aspect of modern decadence, they get attacked, but the great grandmas and grandpas of people today didn't suffer from such malaise of spirit. Today, 25-30% of American women take psychotropic drugs to get through the day and middle age men are part of the biggest spike in suicide. Time to stop bashing old-timey values and take a fresh look at what has been attacked and trashed for the last half-century or so.

Ronald McDonald Has it ever occurred to you those percentages you assert are taking psychotropic drugs were *raised* by that generation you reify?

@robyn905

​@@tundrawomansays5067 Actually that doesnt necessarily have to do with the specific values from the older days. It has to do with an adolescents natural feeling to rebel against what their parents say or what their parents make them do. We can see that now more than ever where there is this new generation of children that actually think the whole millenial hipster woke life is cringe, when back then, that was the whole new rage. And honestly, i agree with @Ronald McDonald. Sure some traditional values can be instilled on children in an emotionally abusive way (which, proves my rebelling point earlier), but when done right, those values are what lead to a more fulfilling life. There are woman these days promoting single moterhood. Its one thing to celebrate single moms for all the work they do, its another thing to claim the world is better without man. I mean i literally have a friend who wants to become a single mom. Its sad that people dont recognize the importance of traditional foundational values like family, which to me is the most important. And sure you dont have to have a complete family to have a fulfilling life, but like the actress herself states, its about the little things. The thing is, no one misses what they never had, thats why people like my friend who grew up without a father, thinks men are trash and wants to be just like her mom and raise kids all on her own. Its so disturbing whenever i hear her say that. If only she knew most of the problems in this country, especially from marginalized groups, comes from having a broken home. Im sorry maam but if you truly believe our life isnt at a moral decadence now more than ever before in history i dont know what to tell ya. Also another really obvious reason why everyone is more depressed now more than ever is because as time passes, technology gets better, and living becomes easier, things are created to make like more convenient, daily tasks more efficient. And because of this, people are left with all this free time. It causes people to overthink, to have more time to realize what the meaning of life is. And when they dont feel like they know the answer, it instantly makes them feel like theyre going nowhere, like theyre a failure. In fact its been proven that in an abundance amount of psychological depression cases, the depression was initiated by a season of boredom. Its a real thing. Its called "The existential vacuum" for anyone curious. and if you want to read more about it and modern decadence overall, i recommend the book called Mans Search For Meaning by Victor frankl.

There's only one thing in my entire childhood that I wish I did.

My heart felt heavy during every second I watched this movie, and it still remains touched afterwards.

I was born in 1995, watching this hit me right in the heart. It literally felt like my entire childhood/adolescence was put onto the big screen. I was raised by a single mom, only difference is that I'm an only child. But nonetheless, all the small moments is what really shook me up. It was just beautiful and imperfect just like life. This movie is a movie that relates to everyone, but if you were born between 1992-1996 this movie will be extremely special and I know I'll never forget when I first watched it in the theater and felt a way that no other movie has ever made me feel. The only other movie that comes close would be The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, but even still it didn't have the human element that this film has. If you think about it, for a certain group of young kids growing up not knowing where they belong in the world, This movie is almost like a gift from Richard Linklater. He's pretty much reminding us that life is a precious thing that we have to cherish with those that we love while also showing us that we're not alone in feeling like we don't know where we belong or what our purpose is. And the best part of it is that it's ok not to know and to be a little scared, that's life in a nutshell. "Life doesn't give you bumpers"

It must have been one crazy adventure for this cast and crew making the movie. Boyhood is such an amazing and heartfelt experience that leaves you wondering what the future holds. It's perhaps one of the best movies so far this decade!

I love this movie so so so much because it's REALISTIC and relatable. It hits home without being super dramatic, I guarantee at least one part of this movie will make you nostalgic. It made me bawl like a baby because it made me realize how much I do take for granted, all those little moments that the film shows. I think Boyhood is a true work of art. A masterpiece.

i dont exactly know why i cried watching the movie or the fact that i can still cry right now remembering it. probably its honesty n pureness of showing the life experience touch our soul even if not all.

This movie is just actual life. People in and out of your life. Pain, change, more pain. Milestones and uncertainty, feeling, love and happiness, tragedy and the different layers of us throughout the years.

i dont get emotional that much but this film really pulls strings. Very sad i thought for some reason..makes you appreciate life much more when you see it through 3 hrs on a screen

This is the ultimate coming of age film. Such an important film to watch, especially for young adults in college.

Unlike many films there seems to be no grey areas with this, you're either gonna enjoy it or you'll think it was the biggest waste of time. I personally enjoyed it and hats off to the crew for accomplishing this ambitious undertaking.

we need more people like Linklater on this earth. He is like a window into humanity.

This movie is a real achievement. A great film.

For me, this is the best movie I have ever watched. You're watching it and you don't understand what you are seeing, it just random nice and sad moments and you appreciate the process they did to film it but you don't understand it, and then the last scene happened. the last scene has hit me like no movie I've ever watched, in that last scene you get the entire movie and you get life. Enjoy life and live the moment let the moment live you.

I love this movie so much. It's crazy that this came out the same year i graduated high school. I kind of wanted to see the main character go through depression because of things that happened in his life with his family.

Coursera/UVA Darden Fundamentals of Project Planning and Management brought me here. This is a good outing with focus to complete the project within the timeframe with valuable content.

Also, I'm impressed by how beautifully Mason's dad expressed his feelings and taught his kids about things in life. I mean Boyhood is so real and meaningful to me. Love it💙

One of the most amazing ideas ever to be carried out on film in my opinion.

I'm the same age as Ellar so I related a lot to this movie. Playing the Gameboy, Harry Potter, dying my hair a weird color, piercings, the 2008 election, using the iMac G3 at school, etc.

So educative. The title of the film just fits in. Growing up in a family and the changes that comes as we age. So real.

This is a crown achievement of what film and art that represents life should be. This movie was incredible.

Did the actors get paid every year then? Can’t imagine they were happy to wait 12 years for a pay check

Haha, yes. Typically when a movie is financed they receive all the money upfront and often the lead actors will get paid prior to making the movie. I think in this case the arrangement with the movie financiers was to receive their film budget in yearly installments so the actors and crew were paid once a year.

masterpiece

A masterpiece! How did I not watch this earlier? Very original, too👍

One of the best films I've watched, in terms of art and entertainment. Ellar Coltrane did an amazing job!

As to many, it was very similar to my boyhood. So much so, I asked my dad to watch it and he just said, we'll have to talk about that movie some day. Loved it, one of the greatest I've ever seen. Captured the smaller moments of life. These in between moments are really what make up our lives.

this is an amazing movie i cant believe it was twelve years but wow im really glad i stumbled on to this movie

I was enchanted by the way the movie told so many stories that are always around us but we don't really think about.

Just a great movie. There wasn’t anything like it before, and nothing will ever be like it again. I also lived and visited several places you see in the movie, so that also made it more special for me.

A master piece takes time. This great work is an amazing treasure for history of cinema !!

This might actually be my favourite movie...

The awesome part about this movie is that ANYONE can relate to it. The entire family, but Mason in particular. Everyone has either been through childhood, or are going through it at the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re 12, or 34. You can always relate and understand.

Born in 1995, just finished watching it. I cried

This movie is great if you are a similar age to mason and are going through the same things that he went through

Parker Dad I more so meant the same age as him at the end of the film. I went through similar shit he went through with my family in the early 2000s.

best movie ever made. Richard Linklater thank you!

This film is among the rare few that accurately depict life, and it's beautiful intricacies. It's not about these 'big' moments that we assume make up a life, if anything it's about the moments in between. Every moment is divine.

This is probably my favorite film ever. I just turned 21 and watching this movie and Mason (who's a couple of months younger than me which makes it more relatable for me) grow up really hits home and probably a lot of you all as well. It really gets the message across to appreciate life everyday and just really got me to reminisce about my childhood and now progressing as a young adult just like Mason. I feel like this movie should be shown in high schools across the country. 👍

So amazing how they done it within 12 years of his life ❤️

I just watch this, and I would like to say thanks to Linklater. Oh my God, I'm still not believe that this film is real!

I just love that movie, it is so real and that makes it so special. it shows life how it actually is, all naked and without make-up, all the typical everyday worries while growing up. but the thing that makes this movie so extraordinary, is that it was made across 12 years and it allows us to accompany Mason while going through all the stages of his life with all the same actors aging through time...

This movie is definetly something special, even in how it was made. I remember watching it and thinking: "Well nothing big happens but then why I liked it so much???". I guess thats the message, just life.

Ive seen it and yes its amazing

BRAVO! An excellent film it is indeed!

I was so glad I watched this. Although there is no climax, the film really is just about being. The ups and downs of life and the way one navigates it. It’s honest, beautiful and HUMAN.

this isn't just a movie its a unique experience we wont experience again for a long time. apparently hes making a musical film for the next 20yrs, crazy man.

Wow, that little Lorelai was so precocious!

I didn't like the Samantha character. Not so much the younger one, although she was a bit bratty even then, but the teenage Samantha was so obnoxious. I rebelled sometimes as a teenager - as do many teenagers - but my attitude was angelic compared to hers.

Loved the movie and I hope it wins a few Oscars. The only problem I had is some parts felt like an Apple ad.

I cried watching the film and I cried watching this video. So beautiful.

Havent watch the movie, dont even know if I`ll like it but honestly thats what I`ve always, in a way, wanted to see in a movie: the same actors actually age.This is amazing, regardless of the nature of the film.

It was all about the ending. The last 6 or 7 minutes of the film made this film one of my all time favorites.

This was a amazing movie!

Easily one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen! Movied like Boyhood are the reason why I love movies!

Would just like to say thank you. How wonderful it must be to have the skill and opportunity to engage people in the way that Boyhood and the 'before' movies have done.
