Capturing Time on Film | Boyhood

- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Boyhood is one of those movies that will probably always remain in my top ten of all time, but I'd love to hear what you all think!
Some things I wasn't able to put in the video: Linklater is very inspired by filmmakers like Robert Bresson and Eric Rohmer, and that shows very much in Boyhood. His framing is very much in line with Bresson, but his tendency to have characters talk in long winded monologues and dialogues is definitely inspired by Rohmer. It's important to know what Linklater's influences are because he very much is a student of cinema.

This film impacted me so much that I looked up a retrospective on it and watched and commented on a 2y old video. I love this movie.
I am about to be 30 btw so it hits even harder.
Same.
Same times two
Yea I felt the same way when I saw this the first time. Seeing Halo 2, the Iraq war footage in the background, a teacher in HS talking shit to me. I went through all of that at around the exact same time the movie portrayed and was deeply touched by waves of nostalgia when I saw them again. I am very lucky that the film is built for me (a straight, white male born before the post 9/11 world) but I totally get how other people may not be able to relate or see themselves while watching this.
IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE! IT BROKE NEWWWW GROUUNDDDDDD
I am a single mother living in Taipei, Taiwan. When I watched this movie 10 years ago, my two sons were in college. Many scenes in the movie reminded me of moments from my life with my two sons (and my ex-husband). The part where the mother talks to her son who is about to leave for college particularly struck me.
Just like you, I love this movie very much.
Now this movie is almost forgotten. It hurts me. I love it
Man, your channel is gonna get big, I can feel it.
Yea
Beautiful review, you capture what makes boyhood so special 100%. Linklater is the master of the male experience
This was an excellent take on one of my favorite movies! I wasn’t the same age as Mason, I was 13 years older, but all the places he spent time in, I did as well. Austin, San Marcos, Houston, Big Bend, Minute Maid Park, and the campus of Texas State University were all so special to me, and to see these places on film was very personal to me.
I was going through a hard time when Boyhood was released and I was a little younger than Mason so I wasn't sure if I was ever going I make it to my 20s. Time really did flash by so fast
Great video man! Really personal review, I like it. Looking forward to more vids
I'm from Australia, and I'm only 18 now, but this was definitely the hardest-hitting movie I've ever seen. I just finished high school a few weeks ago and watched this movie the day after I finished. Although life here in Melbourne isn't the same as Texas in the 2000s to early 2010s, it was incredible watching the cast grow up, especially mason. I rarely cry in general, especially not when watching movies, but in the scene where Mason's mum is crying watching him pack for College made me cry. It's just so raw compared to most other movies, no overarching mission or happy endings, instead it tells us not to live our lives aimed at fulfilling major goals, but instead to cherish the seemingly insignificant and mundane moments, and do so with all our heart.
Insane. I was thinking of this movie randomly today and viola a newly released video about it 😆
I always love it when I can get the timing right for someone!
Very relatable movie. Even for me in South East Asia.
The Man Who Fell To Earth is Roeg’s best movie imo
I'm inclined to agree, but I also love Walkabout, Don't Look Now, Performance, Bad Timing, The Witches... I just love Roeg.
I know we're supposed to appreciate our time on Earth because it'll be over soon but seeing that clip you used of the analog clock skipping ahead reminded me of when I used to stare at the clock in high school praying for the day to be over. Thanks Christ that time of my life is over I would never go back lol
This video made my day, ty for putting this into words
i remember being a kid and my older brother loving this movie when it came out, but i wasn’t allowed to watch it since it was rated r. now i’m finding myself watching this movie for the first time in the same situation as mason as i’m almost 18 and going to college. crazy how life flies
"'12 years a slave' didnt take 12 years to make!!!!!" - RLM
Really good video! I subbed for your Bresson video but stayed for this.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!

It's also Boyhood for me. I was in my early 20s when I saw it, and it really touched a nerve I didn't even know was there. This is an absolute gem of a movie.
You explained it perfectly Great video keep making more
Thanks for sharing the impact of this ,ovie on you - I love the music
Checked ya out aftering seeing the EmpLemon video. Really liking it so far.
One of my favorite movies ever!!!
Thanks for making this video ❤️
"Take out 1 gimmick from this film, all you're left with is a Lifetime Movie" anonymous quote
If you were born in the mid 80s then this is the movie for you
Pretty dope video man. Very Kino.

Jokes on you I dont get a graduation or prom so all I have is the little memories.
Gen Z moment
@@TheKinoCorner I am of the firm belief that August 1999 to may of 2003 should be it's own generation. We had internet, but also most had 90s tech for the first part of our lives. We have distinct slang compared to the before and after. And according to a survey I did on my last day of school (I got my credits and left early by my own accord) the teachers feel that we have a distinct cultural personality and perspective. There are more details that I dont have the time for at the moment.
This dude could play Anakin Skywalker in Ahsoka
I loved it.
Great essay!
Similar aspects in 7-ups and the Loud family. Perspective understanding...
Not as funny as drive review but more meaningful 👍
It took 12 years to make.
I loved this movie ❤️
Kodak Super 8.
Also what linklater once used

Congrats for 100k
In january of 2021
who is the artist of that poster of the jester with the harp in the background of 0:45 ?
That's the poster that comes with the Criterion copy of the movie Fellini Satyricon
❤️
I feel like the Movie just hits if you're a child growing up around the early 2000s, no offense to the movie critics, but most of the are kinda too old to find it relatable. The film doesn't do a good job of making it feel like a all ages shared experience of growing up. It's very specific to its demographic.
Watches the movie after this video. He is literally me.
12 thumbs up
That was clearly Halo: Combat Evolved. Not Halo 2.
Glad you got so much out of it. It felt meh to me.
The first stepdad was atrociously bad

More pauses dude.
I really did not enjoy it. You can really feel the weakness of the improvisation and any story beats that are planned are just overly melodramatic. I really hated the fact that Arquette just seems to be a vehicle for domestic abuse and bad stepfathers as if Linklater couldn't think of a more interesting idea. The children just seem to brood and sulk through the entire film and it's really noticeable when you pair them with veteran actors like Arquette and Hawke, who felt like he was just enjoying himself in a different movie.
I usually dislike drama movies because most of them give me a mild depression and this one isnt an exception sadly
This corporate ignorance let's me control time.
Nice vid, but 12 minutes
69th like. Nice
The process was interesting but the movie was sooo rough. The acting was not great and the story was pretty underwhelming
strangely... and this is just me... using the same actor for 12 years actually came across more saccharine and artificial..... it just felt more like a gimmick. not to mention that he was wholly unlikable, and not in the the "douche-nozzle" sense... but more in the "this kid has the personality of a potato" sense.
