Boyhood( 2014)

邦題「6才のボクが、大人になるまで。」

映画『6才のボクが、大人になるまで。』予告編 - YouTube

Drama. 

Directed by Richard Linklater.

This is the history of a boy( Ellar Coltrane).It begins when he is six years old, and ends when he is eighteen years old.In other words, from a elementary school boy to a college freshman. Of course his life is not filled with only happiness. However, he struggles to be an independent creature.

Perhaps, most of you already know that this film was actually shot for 12 years with the exact same cast! So, it is incredible to see how this little boy and his active sister( Lorelei Linklater, the director's real daughter) change.

Though the main plot is ,no wonder, the growth of the boy, I could find other subplots. The growth of his biological dad( Ethan Hawke) is one of them. Firstly, he was too selfish and just looking-for-joy person. But, at last, he becomes a mature guy. I've learned what becoming an adult guy means from this movie.

I give this movie 4.5 stars. I definitely highly recommend this great movie.

Some say this film is too long. It is true that the running time( 165 min.) is like a Bollywood movie standard, but it is just appropriate for me.
