I finally saw Boyhood on blu ray yesterday night. It has all the classic Richard Linklater touches. I really like how he is able to capture the passage of time, just as he did with the Before movies. The way our lives unfold, the way we pass our days, the things that we do, the conversations we engage in - everything is mundane and meaningless at first and yet wondrous and consequential. All the moments that string together to become our lives give our lives their narrative and their form and shape. We are defined by those moments over the continuum of time. We ARE those snapshots.
Boyhood is my favorite movie of 2014. A
