Excellent, thank you!
Thanks for your review. I think I’d like to see this movie. It is fascinating how they did it. And kudos to Arquette (whom we love from Medium) and Hawke for being willing to make a commitment like that.
I actually heard him interviewed on NPR about this. It is sort of based on his own life experiences, iirc.
Thanks for the heads up!
we need a movie blog or post of some kind. i’m netfix and no tv and i do watch alot of crap but i would like to post about good stuff to watch or just my comments on some films
Linklater was born in Houston.
I talked to him about this movie when he had only shot “one year”. As usual, he had trouble getting financing. Financing is always the key to getting a movie made and no one wanted to take a chance on a 12 year shoot. Something happens to the kid and the movie is done.
I have to ask is there a lot of “philosophical” tripe? Linklater thinks of himself as a philosopher and always has Hawk’s character dissecting the world. I just can’t get into it.
Another thing. McConaughey thanked God at the Oscars and you could tell Hollywood didn’t like it. I know he’s a Christian. I wonder if Richard is.
Sounds good, it gets great ratings at IMDB.com, but my first impression is why is a movie about “boyhood” rated R?
I can’t go to see a movie about boyhood with my son, because it’s rated R.
Sheesh!
Linklater made “Dazed and Confused”, still the single best movie about high school life and the 70s that I’ve seen. I’ll see any movie he cares to make, and “Boyhood” is getting some great reviews so far.
