I love that movie. I just watched the prequel a few days ago, which is also pretty good.

Dark Country


I loved this movie and the fact that Thomas Jane directed it cemented my love for it even more.

I'd have to look it up to see if it was his directorial debut but this movie reminded me of an episode of the Twilight Zone. He decided to use some interesting camera work and give the movie a film noire feel to it.

What an absolutely wonderful experience. I almost have trouble calling it a film because it's unlike anything I've ever seen and it clearly was not written like a normal film was. This was written on the fly, with Linklater taking into account all the mannerisms of people growing up during this changing time, and reflecting all of this confusion onto Mason. Just like many others have said, I almost feel like I was watching my childhood, and no other film I've ever watched was able to so accurately depict what it's like to grow up. The decision to make Mason mostly apathetic was also brilliant, as it was easy to project your personality onto him and feel even closer to his character.

Definitely one of my favorites. 10/10, a masterpiece and must-watch.
Cool! Looking forward to this

Is it a cinema movie or would you enjoy it as much from the couch at home?

Since the movie is pretty much entirely dialogue I'd say it doesn't matter where you watch it, although I recommend giving it your undivided attention as it's a very thought-provoking flick

if you saw it at home that would be just fine....although the film has some wonderful shots...Linklater is not what you would call a camera savvy director.....this is 100% story....and a damn good one at that

obviously


Boyhood

this is easily my favorite film of the year....or at least tied with my previous favorite

i'm gonna try to write this without any major spoilers....but there will be a couple of minor....really you already know what the general idea of this film is....so

***SPOILERS***

going into to see this i was prepared to watch a boy of 6 grow into a young man of 18....what i was not prepared for was to watch his family grow with.....and that is what makes this film so powerful

don't get me wrong this film centers around Mason....but in my opinion the stellar performances come from the two unnamed characters....Mom and Dad...played perfectly by Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke....the two ending scenes with each character (which are separate) are easily the best of the entire film

so what is so wonderful about this film is the fact that it really concentrates on just how wonderful the mundane parts of our live really are....there is no shocking moments....i mean i did clasp my hands to my mouth a few times in particular with Mason's first stepfather....but really this is three hours of watching people live and at the end all i wanted was to keep following them

seriously three hours and i wanted more and still want more.....even though this almost in no way reflected my boyhood....except the shaving of his head.....i know that feeling all to well as my mothers sperm donor had done exactly that to me when i was 11....so the scene of him playing sick and the scene of him returning to school and the embarrassment that comes with it....really struck a chord with me....this film really is a perfect mix of all emotions....i honestly cannot remember a film that brought out everything in me....i nodded, i laughed, i gasped, i smiled, and i cried....and by that damn near perfect ending i wanted more

the filming is good but nothing spectacular....but i will point out...as it was said on the filmspotting review....it is also an interesting experiment to watch Linklater himself grow as a director

anyways....i absolutely loved this and see this as becoming an annual film for me

easily 5/5

I loved how it ended with Mason basically spouting nonsense. It was a perfect way to illustrate that even though the movie is over, Mason is just beginning his life and hasn't figured anything out yet. It made me feel like there is still so much to figure out with my own life.
