The quality of the cameras used to film movies in the 90's were higher than you'd think. The cameras sold for domestic use were rarely near that level so it's deceiving... but funny comment either way lol

and Linklater said that this was a concern, so he shot with the same analog camera throughout the whole process.

Im sitting here age 21 living in my dads basement literally healed from a depression. This movie is a breath of fresh air and hit me at the perfect time in my life where I really needed to be inspired. Im reading a lot of negitive comments on here about the film witch at first shocked me as this is probably the greatest film I have ever viewed. I don't know if "true feelings" have died in our generation or maybe this movie was just too accurate to my life. that being said its movies like this that in my eyes change us. we connect with. Remind us to feel the moment.

I cannot believe people don't enjoy this film, they've missed the point entirely saying there's no plot or that's it's boring. This films about a boy going through the many phases of growing up, it's about life. I guess you just have to relate to it to really love it. I'm the same age as the actor so seeing him grow up in the same time that I did really affected me. It touches on so many themes of growing up and how we just move on from milestone to milestone until it's over. I'm probably not making much sense to a lot of you but it's hard to explain why I love this movie so much, but I just wanted to throw my two cents out there because it moved me a lot haha

+GamerJay It's impossible to deny the scope of this film, but lets get real... there was no story. It was a portrait of some ordinary kid's uneventful life... and that's the problem. I sat in an indie theater for over 2 1/2 hours watching someone perform menial daily tasks... and that's supposed to move me? I could cook, fix pipes, smoke weed or sit through photography class at home -- and without having to pay for an overpriced movie ticket. I've spent 23 years in my own unextraordinary, suburban life. Why would I want to spend 165 minutes immersed in someone else's? The answer is... I don't. Patricia Arquette's acting and the amazing soundtrack were really the only spectacular things about Mason's dull and overrated boyhood.

@MrGameonthis

8y↑53

+Addy C: I feel as though that's the point. You see someone who's unextraodinary in every way going through phases that may seem insignificant at the time, but in reality those things change and develop who we are when we grow up. I can see why you found it boring, but I don't think it's meant to be exactly exciting because really life isn't that exciting. If you're looking for a movie that's just straight entertainment then I think Batman v Superman is more up your alley.

@simgingergirl

8y↑16

***** There's no point in making a movie without conflict and flawed characters. Perhaps if Linklater had made a movie about the mom character, then it would've been intriguing. She was the only character that in any way felt real because she had faults (as we all do). Mason was just bleh.

@moisemensah8233

4y↑23

True. One of the most haunting films ever made. I cried so MUCH. Mason's story reminded me in some parts of mine. It was an out of body experience to watch it. It was disheartening, gutwrenching and beautiful to watch this kid grow up. It made me realize how time flew and flies so rapidly, how fragile and fleeting life can be, how in the blink of an eye you were an innocuous kid, then a rambunctious teen and turning without warning as a full blown adult. And in between, you face predicaments, deaths, drama, confusion, angst, first times, first kisses, meet your best friends who might stick till the end or not, lose your virginity or not, succeed at school or fail expeditiously, you live to the fullest until settling down, move-ins and move-outs, witness your parents fighting, have your first dog, spend countless sleepovers talking about girls or boys even both, gossip about anyone at school and playing videogames, go to camp spending summers of a lifetime with kids you'll never see again or not, you crush on other people, you get your heart broken, you fight with your parents and siblings but you learn how to LIVE. And still, the older you get, you never cease learning and growing. Watching Boyhood left me reeling and crying for a whole night. But I felt pride and closure. My past has been a tainted, wild journey but turning into a 28 year old graduate from grad school with a Master's degree, living in Paris and able to withstand depression, two suicide attempts, being a gifted child with ADHD, bullying and being bullied, my mom's car crash, losing some friends to untimely deaths or by going to jail for drug selling or murder and overcoming alcohol abuse. Boyhood is not only a movie but a statement of life's beauty of life's fast but invisible pace, of time's unfathomable but irresistible grip on our fate. It's an embodiment of what time is, how every single decision and mistake contained in one life can shape and affect you but not necessarily determine who you'll become. It's a wheel in constant motion which takes us, rolls us along, makes us grow young then old to eventually kill us.

@@moisemensah8233 4 years late on replying to this comment, hope you're doing well! You absolutely have the best comment on here, you can tell you're a smart articulate person. I concur with everything here and could never have written something this well. It's been made with a very particular idea in mind, people saying 'I want to go to the movies to escape this boring existence' just really are completely missing the point of the film. Still now this film had a profound effect on me since watching it almost 10 years ago, I watched it when I was around 22 when I saw it, so towards the end Mason's experiences mimicked by own at university, feeling lost and confused and pondering all of life's big questions, trying to find some identity in the world, letting go of old friendships that didn't serve me anymore and forming new ones. Its a remarkable film.

This movie was pretty cool, you are literally watching this kid grow up. The movie felt a little long, but it wasn't at a point where it was being dragged out. I was enjoying it the whole time. By the end of the movie I was thinking about the beginning parts, and it was crazy to think it was the same movie because it felt completely different. This movie really makes you feel each moment of this kid's life.

If there’s one thing I learned about kids is you need to let them be kids. I think masons dad was being a hypocrite here, and it’s an interesting scene as it shows the dynamic between traditional fatherly teachings and more liberal attitudes.

As a 20 year old male I found this film to be absolutely one of a kind. The filming lines up with similar times to my childhood, and seeing all the contemporary references, trends, and relatable situations was like watching my life flash before my eyes over the course of 3 hours. If you're looking for some exciting movie leaving you on the edge of your seat with plot twists or over-dramatization, steer clear. It's a simple yet heartwarming journey that is told with very subtle emotion and beautiful imagery.

I was born in 96 and the movie ends almost exactly where I am in my life. Especially being born and raised in Houston, now attending Texas State University (so many filming locations throughout the movie that I could relate to and reminisce on because any Texan can easily spot them, Downtown Houston, Downtown Austin, Court house in the Square of San Marcos, Museum of Natural Science, Big Bend Park, even the outdoor miller theatre.) I can't believe how relatable this movie was, that's why I love it so much, i feel like anyone can take away something from this movie. Even the time periods with the music and trends were spot on. When 'Soulja Boy' came on I got an instant flashback of when I lip synched and danced to the song with my friends for theatre infront of the whole cafateria in 6th grade lol

Good comments Hunter.
I’m over 60 now and reflecting on my own boyhood, burdened with the name Hunter(a rare first name in those days).
Although I didn’t attain the fame or riches I always imagined, life has indeed been a wealth of adventure so far, and in many ways my boyhood and my teenage persona still exists, very strong.

I had a lot of adventures including running with a circus for a summer, working for 35 years in the movie industry, owning a cinema in three countries, learning Spanish and falling in love so much with the language that I wish it was my first language,m.

Well, lots more to it but life deals you a hand, so you just play it as best you can, the key is to not let people come between you and your freedom, be the helmsman of your dreams.
Cheers, Hunter

This movie is perfect and deserved those wins. Not everyone can relate to it, personally I cant really relate to it until Mason (the male protagonist) hits the age of 16/17, but the story is so raw and true. Not everyone has this extraordinary life as a teenager and although I wouldn't call myself "normal" this is what growing up really is like, I've been through it. This made me see that I don't have to be special or different to anyone else, I just have to be good enough for me. I'm starting college soon and I have no idea what to expect for the future, but I realize that no one really does at any given point in their life. After seeing this movie I will no longer seize the moment, for I am now aware that the moment seizes us. Every moment is a moment to cherish. This movie is awesome and I respect others opinions, but to me it was truly eye opening.

This is the movie I have been waiting for, for my entire life. I'd always watch movies with people and they'd tell me they see their lives in them and I'd nod. Never fully seeing myself through a person, through a family, through a movie. But when I watched this on my laptop earlier today... I felt every waking moment of my existence up until tonight. I have lived a very very similar life, eerie but perfect. The acting, the plot that literally follows what we go through, for no reason but that free flowing plot is what makes this film a landmark in cinematography. The awkward moments of adolescence, the young nostalgic days, the moving of homes and new settings and the coming of age when you are leaving the nest are major themes in each of our lives. We were once boys. I just turned 18 myself this year and for some reason this movie just speaks to this generation, the generation who lived from the 1990s and so on.
I am forever linked with this movie and one day wish to share my own story. I know I will. I am unknown today but one day you will see me.
This is the most important movie that has ever been created.

@myhomie131

This movie teaches people a lot of things, and it reminded me of things I already knew but forgot. If you are like me, an overthinker, and you philosophize a lot, you think about life often. Sometimes why we are here, why life is so good and why it is so boring. The questions about life that we can not answer. This movie was great. I ended up spending my day doing other things rather than sitting on my phone, because we do spend a lot of time on it. I realize that, and I always try to be better at just being in the moment and not letting my phone control me. Even though I am 16, soon to be 17, I think about life, and I don't really want to grow up fast. That is why I don't mind school. A lot of people at my age hates school. Of course I don't like exams and stuff like that, but I have to enjoy my teenage years that I will not experience more than once.
I love movies like these about life. They don’t have to follow the dramaturgy/Hollywood-model. They have a good message.

I love how all these people are like "Where was the action? Where were the surprises and twists?"

They clearly didn't get the point of the film. This is one of the best and most original films I've seen in a very, very long time. Lots of intimate and touching moments that stirred tons of emotions as a parent. The main lesson it taught me was that there is always improvement on being a better father to my kids and I left the theater wanting to start right away. Loved it.

@strbor2506

@Pygmo you sure?

@dillonanderson1772

I know this is super late but I've been scrolling for awhile know and literally nobody said this, you just want attention

@strbor2506

@Dillon Anderson your comment makes no sense

@dillonanderson1772

@Rainy how so? I literally scrolled for a good 20 minutes and didn't run into a single comment that said that. So you, made it up for attention

@strbor2506

@Dillon Anderson so you should be banned if you write a diffrent comment? This guy just came with his idea and statement, why would he do it for attention?

I truly loved this movie. Although there was no intense plot, the feeling of nostalgia in me is what made me keep watching. I grew up during the same generation and everything from the GameBoy, to the elementary school desks/chairs, to the little girl singing along to High School Musical made me reminisce on these insignificant things that were once a part of my daily life as a kid.
You kind of just grow up, and when you look back, you wonder "when was the last time I..." used my Gameboy, went bowling/bonded with my dad, gossiped with my friends from school, didn't do my chores as I was told, had my first beer, etc.

The journey through "Mason Jr.'s" life was so amazing to watch. The little pieces of pop-culture interlaced through each passing year, (GameBoy, iPod, Facebook) made me feel connected to the movie.

I understand that most people would get bored with this movie, and I'm getting too sentimental about insignificant things, but to me, 'Boyhood' was an exceptional movie.

I've known this movie since it came out, but never really got the chance to watch it. I finally finished it today and I just have to share all these feelings I get from this movie. Definitely one of the best movies in all time, some ppl dislike it because the plain plot, but that's exactly the point. Life is not scripted, it's not going to be a cheesy love story or full of crazy dramas. This movie just shows the real side of growing up, the lacks of this kind of topic in movies these days just make me respect it more. I may not be the same age as they are, but somehow they just touched my heart and changed my way of thinking. Some said it's 3 hours they'll never get back, but dude did you realize you just watch a whole life grows in just 3 hours? I truly believe the director didn't took 12 years to make this to get your attention and pity, he wants to make it as real as possible, and what's the better way to ACTUALLY grow up with them? This is art, dude. It's art.

Boyhood is such a wonderful movie with a quality that is so rare to find in mainstream cinema. After the Oscars last year, I just had to watch this. It's a masterpiece that is moving, intimate, thought-provoking, understated and heartwarming. The filming over the course of 12 years was so interesting and it bored me only a small amount of time. Mason's emotional journey speaks to the heart of those like me who are young at heart.

@jamesm2078

I rewatched this trailer in my Film Editing class while going over production today and what really hit me is the last shot: Mason holding a camera and asked what he wants to do after growing up and going through multiple stages in life, seeming to aspire as a filmmakers. I can very much relate to that.

@johncarey2535

This movie follows my exact timeline growing up in Texas. Mason's friend at graduation was in my scout troop. Watching for the third time. I've been going through a real hard time, and have had a "cry stuck in my throat" like a sneeze alot. I'm gonna bawl.

This movie really spoke to me. I'm only a year younger than Mason, so I completely identified with him and his changes throughout the movie. This film offers a very unique perspective on growing up that no other film has before, and that is what makes it truly groundbreaking. I adore this movie!

@OkItsJustSean

This is my favorite movie of all time due to the fact that it so deeply reminded me about my childhood and all of the insignificant but memorable memories I've had for the past 19 years of my life. It reminds me of all of the people i've known growing up that have mysteriously disappeared from my life and how fast I grew up. It brings so much nostalgia. This movie is great. There is great natural acting. There's no cliches and the fact that it really has no plot adds realism and a sense of life.
This is art.

The creators of this film wonder if they did good. The viewers of the film wonder if the creators know how incredibly good they did. Ironically, the viewers would have to create a film called "adulthood" to properly convey the love of the masterpiece that these fine folks created. We all thank you for this incredible art piece, and hope that you know what it means to us all.

Its basically about life's memory lane from Britney Spears to Harry Potter with going through a divorced family and moving from place to place to mom and dad, not to mention getting bullied and adjusting every now and then.
Overall a funny one and it kind of gives meaning to your life to whom have went through this kind of childhood and ask what has been my life so far? This movie is the answer.

@jebbish878

I know this is late, but I just came back to this trailer and felt compelled to write something. I saw this movie in theaters with some close friends when it came out three years ago, which was the summer before we all parted ways and left for college. It obviously was an emotional summer, and this movie was definitely a catalyst of that emotion for me. Since the movie ended when Mason started college, and thats what I was doing in literally one month, the movie felt continuous with my life. Even though the data points of mine and Masons life diverge a lot (parents together, grew up in northeast, etc), I still felt like I was watching myself grow up on screen, because of all the little commonalities in each of our lives, and I think thats what Linklater was trying to accomplish. One of my favorite movies, for sure.

@Atomicbubble1

Just watched this, and wow what an experience. I just turned 20, so I feel almost as if my life picks up where this movie ended. Im in a confusing situation right now in my own life, but this film does a great job of putting things into perspective. It doesn’t try to convey any particular meaning, or push any agenda, in fact it doesn’t even necessarily try to entertain. Despite that though, it manages to capture some of the most meaningful and natural parts of being human. It reflects back to you a version of your own life, and captures normalcy in a way I feel like very few can. It’s pretty emotional seeing the same actor grow up in two and a half hours as well, speaks to how fast things seem to move. 10/10 recommend.

This film is history in the making. Granted there wasn’t really a traditional storyline but neither is childhood.

But after reading more into how this was filmed it definitely made me appreciate it that much more!
