Imagine being such a pleb that you truly believe the 12 years gimmick is why people think this is a great film.

>>84963600
No

>>84963600
no because it's not good

>>84963698
people like it because DUDE HAHA I DID THAT XD 90S KIDS

aka plebs

I would have liked this film if he didn't grow up to be a pothead hippie pseud. Why not make him into a successful scientist or businessman? What is the message people watching this are supposed to take?

>>84963600
It wasn't even the greatest film of that year.

John Wick
Birdman
Whiplash
The Grand Budapst Hotel
Interstellar

Gimmicky bullshit

The worst thing is he could have made an amazing film and he blew it, the parts where he is a kid are nice and it seems like the movie is preparing you for something big and then nothing happens, and the main actor seemed like he didn't wanna be there

oooooh girl you went there!

Linklater understands exactly what it's like to be in that awkward stage where you're growing up; that to be a kid is to have things be completely out of your control and be a passenger to your own life; to be a teenager is more than just angst and rebellion, it's trying to make the most of your youth when you don't know how to do it.

Because Linklater understands how the more you grow up, the more adult conversations start to make a scary amount of sense, and the more you start to have them yourself; it's a pretty heartbreaking thing to continue to grow up and see just how flawed your parents are.

Because Linklater understands that the little moments count more than anything else. Camping with dad. Small conversations you have with family and friends. That ride home you get after a good long night with friends. Lying in the grass and staring to the skies - the future is a scary prospect but that's okay.

Because Ellar Coltrane starts off as a pretty good child actor and only manages to get better as Mason gets older and emotions get more complex. Everyone in this film gives a stellar performance, especially Patricia Arquette as a mother trying to hold it all together.

Everyone who sees this film will say they saw part of themselves in the film, and also hopefully get the point because all this rambling with all these "becauses" still hasn't done anything to really get at the heart of the film and they never will.

Only subhuman /v/ posters hate this film.

TWELVE MORE YEARS

If you draw anything meaningful from the terrible dialogue, pointless exposition and acting, I genuinely pity you. Linklater is your emperor with no clothes. It's a failure on on levels. Terrible soundtrack, Looks on par with a tv movie, not even funny or entertaining.

The pretentious, "whoah so deep" speech from the kid at the end only makes sense if you take it this way: It's a self-inflated, empty statement that maybe sounds good when you're high. You might be desperate to convince yourself there was deeper meaning to the film after spending nearly 4 hours on it. I certainly was. But the only conclusion I got was the linklater literally never did grow up past being a cheesy teenager. I'm never watching his shit again after this crappy film.

I mean it's a pretty amazing film. It took twelve years to make.

>>84965401
You literally didn't understand it. It's not deep. No one who likes it thinks that it is.

>>84964982
Oh boy, I'll show you. Just you wait till I'm done with my masterpiece of a reply in 12 years.

>>84965548

Well I was hoping there was something more to it, because as I said, it fails on all shallow levels; looks shit, bad acting, boring, bad script etc. Enjoy your film pleb.

Hell no. It shits the bed once he becomes an adult.
