BoyHood



                                                              Boyhood
I think you wouldn’t be able to standup if you grab the seat to watch this movie. An epic masterpiece by from Richard Linklater . A work of 12 year, an art which hasn’t been done in cinematic world before.


It’s a story of 6 year boy Mason (Ellar Coltrane) till his 18th year. Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater (as “Samantha) didn’t had to act so much because they were living that course of life while they were shooting. It’s not just a story of a boy. It might called “boyhood”, but the movie reflects life…life of a boy, a girl, a single-parent mother, a father.
Movie is the one of the most critically acclaimed of the year with ‘Golden Globes’ in a bag and competing  with aces in hands for ‘Oscar’. Patricia Arquette (Mom) and Ethan hawke (Dad) has done a tremendous craft. Just like me, perhaps you would also want to hug Patricia Arquette. Every part was so real when dad talk about teenage sex thing and when he was telling mason about ‘Beatles’.


Well! I don’t remember any place where will feel that movie is going slow because its real life that happening in front of you. Mason was in every shot of movie it’s his childhood and cameras were his eyesight. Movie covers every emotion of childhood . From every terror of making friends at new school to having a vacuum in heart before doing bliss ‘what will people say”. Movie has crossed every limit of simplicity.
Applause to Richard Linklater’s guts for running a project for a decade and a two
And for giving us a great art. Art that drives whole childhood of an U.S.A lad. You might feel so many connections.
In our lives we keeping living our life without noticing so many days, but there are moments when you feel ‘OMG! I have made it too far”. So in the movie there’s moment when mason left his house for college with the song ‘HERO’ on the road. Thats the mensuration moment for footsteps of life we had took.


It’s a surreal, marvelous, peace giver experience . Turn it on and I bet you won’t be able to resist the memories of your childhood.
