The fantastic, epic movie, Boyhood, thats whats on my mind Facebook. Thanks for asking. You. Must. See. Boyhood. 12 years of filming the same characters of course could make for what might be the best character-development film of all time; but more epically, it may well capture the human comedy/tragedy on film as well as or better than any film ever has. It is the filming of a boy who literally grows up on screen, from age six to 18. It really does actually film this boy and the others over 12 years. Within that coming-of-age filming, it just may have captured the meaning of life. I know; but, yep. The following quote from this film moved me to my core: Life is not about the pursuit of happiness; its about the happiness of pursuit. Then this morning I found an interview with the actor/real main character, Ellar Coltrane, now 19 years old, in which he answers a question about what he learned from doing this movie: Really I just want to be lost in the creative process more than anything. And that’s kind of what I found over the last twelve years; that that’s really the thing that makes me the happiest: to just be submerged in the process of making art and kind of not concerned with the outcome. Working over that long, that’s kind of how it became. I think we, in a way, forgot that it was ever going to come out, that it was ever going to be a movie. It was just this experience that we were having. And that’s the beautiful thing. :)
