haha what if like two dudes were on the moon and one killed the other with a rock? haha

>>64531364
haha wow that'd be pretty crazy

Go back to Reddit please

TWELVE

Richard Linklater and the producers were robbed.

Fuck Birdman.

>>64532444

careful mate

in this deluded pleb-infested swamp Boyhood is considered pleb and Birdman is considered patrician

just stop while you're ahead

All I'll say is that I shouted the word reddit multiple times during each of them.

pretty much yeah

Richard Linklater's entire career has been about time. Nearly every single movie has been exploring what it means to depict time in film, how to do it, and what does time mean for the characters within the film. Boyhood then summed up his career-long fixation in one perfectly conceived framework that gave his fullest, most interesting consideration yet.

Yeah, definitely a gimmick.

Do you even know who Richard Linklater is?

you guys always just sound so retarded when you criticize it.

false

It's a gimmick and it has been done before by a director way more inventive than him

Boyhood is a bland indie coming-of-age tale with an added TWELVE YEARS factor to make plebs cream their pants.

the majority of Linklater's works are concerned with time mate.

and which director do you mean? Lav Diaz? great director sure but why even bother making the comparison? outside of their similar structural device the films are hugely different

and it kinda just sounds like you're a dummy desu if that's all you took from Boyhood

Do you know what all of these have in common? They are Linklater movies and time isn't even in their top 3 concerns.

I can see how you made that assessment, though: the Before trilogy. Time is an important element in this story, but even then I don't think his primary concern was time but rather relationships and how they are affected by impending separation, distance, reconciliation, commitment. It's a romance before everything.

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the biggest Linklater fanboys there is, but Boyhood is a mediocre story that only made it to the screens because of that one gimmick. It has no necessity to exist as a movie, it tells nothing new.

probably would have been better
