Honest Trailers - Boyhood 

Tom Anderson and you weren't you stuck up piece of shit?

Oh, I never said that. I remember I used to think a lot of dumb shit.I used to think the sun followed our car when we drove places. I once tried to convince a girl in elementary that I was a power ranger in hopes that she would think I was cool. Shit is cringe worthy to even admit. Some kids are just fucking dumb. Nothing wrong with that.

nja122890 Its ok. When I was a kid I always wondered why ppl never had to use the bathroom in movies unless it was #2 and funny.

Mark Johnson when i was a kid i used to be mean to the girl i liked in class for her to like me how and why?just dumb.it's normal youshould have simply answered yes

I used to think the same thing.

"And there she goes Dating a string of drunk A-holes. Could've saved a lot of trouble By choosing her ex He wasn't that bad."

It's the best line😅😅😅

Me too

😂😂😂😂

Yeah but at least make it interesting. No one want to see a movie about a life of some random person who doesn't have anything to say but "that's how life is".

MrGaryTOnline You don't have to see anything I mean you can watch whatever you want however I personally think the story was deeper than that.

Grace Jenkins Really, because I would say that this movie and John Green's books are pretty much they same. They both pretty much boil down to "imagine people complexly" and "everyone has a story" and stuff like that. I wouldn't say that any of John Green's characters have spectacular journeys either. Most of his characters sit around thinking and pontificating and not doing much, just like the characters in this movie.

+Grace Jenkins John Green is actualy an overrated Author. And boyhood is by that also very overrated by critics. Terrible film.

+Grace Jenkins Even the most mundane lives have their bit of excitement and drama. It hurts us and grows up with us, usually following us from childhood all the way to adulthood, where we have to awkwardly face it, and potentially risk humiliation, vulnerability, mental scarring, and above all else, Victory that will still feel more like Defeat. Which leaves me with the impression this film will make a lot more sense if you look at from the perspective of Charlie Brown or something like.

SPOILERS IN THE PARAGRAPH BELOW, IF THAT SORT OF THING BOTHERS YOU. I thought it was boring mostly BECAUSE the story was accurate in terms of portraying the life of a kid with an unstable life. No character was particularly interesting; everyone was essentially just relatively successful with finances and romance, as well as occasionally somewhat off in their judgment of what should be done about certain things. Those might be realistic portrayals of everyday people, but they aren't interesting characters. That's not even mentioning the fact that there are so many segways from scene to scene, many of which involve introducing problems out of nowhere and then letting them go without a solution, or introducing characters out of nowhere only to immediately let them go. Example: the main character's best friend is introduced with practically no defining traits and then let go immediately without even a decent goodbye, all in the first ten minutes or so. Another example: when the mom takes away her kids from the abusive guy, but leaves the kids that aren't her own because they aren't hers, there's a scene after that where they talk about whether or not it was wrong to leave them behind, but the problem is never resolved! No one comes up with any solutions - no one even really tries! The problem is just sort of let go. Another example: the main character and his girlfriend kiss atop a roof, then they're in bed together, but two scenes later they're arguing about prom and they subsequently break up - that had absolutely no build up at all! Another example: the mom suddenly tears up at the prospect of her son leaving for college (which isn't really even built up or anything) and then immediately let go in favour of the son driving through the desert, listening to the radio. No attempts at even comfort. That's not realistic; that's arguably sadistic of him, which he is not. At the beginning of this movie, I thought the unsatisfying segways between scenes and problems was to illustrate how chaotic a child's mind is, which would be a really clever metaphorical addition to the movie. However, the segways continue even when he's a teenager and beyond, which makes it just lazy or intentional screenwriting (the former of which would be annoying and the latter of which would be disappointing). The other important thing to mention is that outside of accurately portraying the life of a child like this in real life, I found nothing done particularly well in this movie. Nothing noteworthy. The cinematography was decent, the music was more or less bland and pandering to the kind of inner child they think you have, the characters were boring, the segways were unimaginably illogical and annoying, and...well, there was really nothing else. This is supposed to be a story, is it not? And with a main character that is apparently (huge emphasis on 'apparently', because there seems to be nothing to suggest he's that way except the movie - no scenes of him thinking, no ideas that indicate he's anything but slightly philosophical, etc.) as introspective as Mason, metaphor and allegory really should have at least existed, let alone played a bigger role. But, no; we just get a lot of quiet moping as well as a quick diverting of focus away from any side character who comes even close to being interesting by having the movie basically write them off as "weird" and pan back to our boring and practically lifeless main character (e.g. the introduction of the college roommate and his girlfriend near the end, who both yell philosophical whimsy across the canyon and are subsequently panned away from to make room for Mason and the next lifeless being he's interested in dating). I think something like "Where The Wild Things Are" does a better job of portraying a child's journey into maturity because it uses metaphor and analogies to illustrate how chaotic a child can be and how chaotic life itself can be. All this movie does is show us a life being lived, which not only doesn't make for interesting cinema but also makes the entire thing nothing but a truism: essentially, a long-winded illustration of something obviously true and saying nothing new or interesting. Like the final idea of "it's always 'right now'" - you honestly might as well say, "Up is the opposite of down" and convey exactly the same level of original, complex thinking.

Yonatan Gershon You have a fair point. You're right in some respects. It's not a movie for everyone. I, personally, would have loved to have some focus dedicated to Mason's sister (whose name escapes me). We see her reactions to things, but it would have been nice to see more of her perspective and experiences on the events that transpire in the movie. I agree. The film does set up several subplots and questions that are never answered, like the issue with the step-siblings. I'm not saying that they should've returned, but a throwaway line detailing how they are, or what ever happened to them would have been nice. At least give closure. I think Mason became somewhat boring to watch as he got older because he just had this apathetic "whatever" personality that is simply not compelling to watch. I think the last third of the film would have benefited by focusing more on the sister. By that point, she was leading a more interesting life than Mason. But overall, I enjoyed watching this movie. I understand how some people could find it boring, but I- and many others- didn't because we could see ourselves in their situations. I've experienced many of the things that happened to Mason, so thus I can relate to him, as well as the rest of the film, more. My mother did marry an alcoholic asshole, and became very submissive in the years following the marriage. That scene where Mason comes home to find his battered and distraught mother sobbing uncontrollably on the ground in the garage while the stepfather looms over her; that scene was rather difficult for me to watch because I witnessed my mother in a similar predicament once. I don't mean to over-share, but I'm just trying to explain how vivid the film captured a lot of moments in my childhood. I don't think the film was trying to tell a cohesive narrative. That's why there really isn't much closure. It was just showing a life. Your enjoyment of a movie like that depends on how well you can relate to the life being presented, and how interesting you find that life. Like I said, it's not for everybody and I completely understand your problems with it.

***** Well, first off, thanks for replying and taking the time to explain yourself further. I did understand your comment originally, but having more detail like this only helps. However, I'd like to point out that what you're describing sounds like it would do better as a documentary of the average Texan child's life - if not Texan, then a word better describing those sorts of childhood and adolescent predicaments. This movie did extremely well in terms of showing the events of a dysfunctional childhood. I will give it that. Since it is actually a narrative, though, I didn't judge it on that. I suppose this movie could technically work as a fictional documentary, and in that respect perhaps it did at least decently. However, the director could have done a fictional documentary over the course of a few months rather than twelve years - it isn't that difficult to find older look-alikes, after all, and the audience could suspend disbelief if the older actor did well. As well, the director could have covered the lives of multiple children rather than just one to introduce a greater number of perspectives. Within the movie that was actually made, for instance, he could have shown much more about the sister's life. I found myself immensely confused at her character; she was academically brilliant in the first half hour or so, but spends the rest of the movie being essentially a stereotypical teenage airhead. I guess that's just personal preference, though. I still think this movie is awful, but only because I judge it as a narrative - which, I think, was what the director was trying to make. As a fictional documentary, however, I think it does just fine.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I could greatly relate to a lot of the things that happened to the family. It was really a matter of how the story was told that made it quite boring. I love dramas and I can sit through a three hour film as long as the story is there and solid and Boyhood just didn't seem to have one solid story. The director was going for a series of short-stories and none of them really carried on to the next one very well. Life isn't a series of loosely connected short stories, it is one grand story divided up into to chapters and parts perhaps. Just my opinion on the it.

I can relate with the character and what happens, but i didn't think it was a good movie.

What mystery? We've known for years what he looks like lol! He even did some pranks when he was walking down the street while narrating people.

They actually showed him in a behind the scenes video too.

They showed what he looked like in the Honest Trailer for Divergent too.

***** He's been around and twice before he got upstaged by another 'voice' in Transformers 4 and Teenage Mutant Turtles Michael Bay version. Wait, does this also count since he never did get to say a single word till the trailer's over. Don't think he's getting paid this much this time. Ha!

He even has his channel.. please.

I enjoy tge originan song, but tge patody was the best!

I apparently cant spell the

Evan Helms or original..

Evan Helms O_e U JUST DID!!!!!!

MagentaPhilosophy What's the name of the original song though?

Yes ! This would be awesome

Omar Guillen Yes, that poison!

Got ya covered!

I'll turn him into a flea! A harmless little flea... then I'll put that flea in a box, then put that box inside another box, then I'll mail that box to myself AND SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER! Or to save on postage, I'll ...

Best picture is certain.....

No John today?

I almost pissed my pants at "12 Years a Boy".

Commando... Do it now!

hahaha whiplash WAS better xD

+Xiang (Fortehlolz) He wasn't that bad

That's Why the freaking movie didn't touch me...the problems were so forced.

The best part 😂

+1997residente You'd be surprised by how many people repeat the same bad choices over and over

Biggest complaint about any of the characters. She divorced the poor guy because he was, well, poor? I started to hate the character when she said, "And besides, we have a family now". But that by no means destroys Arquette's performance.

+Nicolás Riveros Yeah, where is Whiplash..?

whip........lash -quicksilver

ScreenJunkies could do an Honest Trailer for Whiplash on the week La La Land comes out later this year

looking forward to La La Land. 😊

Nicolás Riveros yesss. Please do whiplash

Don't use caps

IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE!

accountnumber90 it took 45 days to shoot, so this whole '12 years' is overblown :D

BOYHOOD ITS FUCKING AMAZING! ITS AWESOME ITS MAGICAL IT TOOK TWELWE YEARS TO MA-YKE!

IT TOOK LONGER THAN IT TOOK THEM TO MAKE THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA!!!

The fact that Nightcrawler got essentially no love pisses me off. I also think it's offensive to other filmmakers and the craft itself to elevate this film above what it is: a bold and ambitious experiment with mixed results. Everyone says "12 years...this was such a major commitment." They took a couple of weeks once a year to shoot a couple of scenes. It's really not a big deal. This is no landmark cinematic achievement. Documentarians must be pissed that Linklater is getting so much love over this minor achievement when they spend much more actual time slaving over their films.

No dude, no one was actually calling it a modern masterpiece, they were just saying it was a great spectacle, which it was. This movie's reviews are much better, and yes, you might think that only critics like it, but that is not the case. A bunch of non critics like it, and this one will be remembered for a long time. Sorry bud, if you don't like it, you're gonna have to deal with it.

Avatar did not receive universal praise. The consensus was that the effects were great and that it was entertaining, but not that it was a masterpiece. The movie has an 83 on Metacritic. If you read the reviews from when it was released, there were many who criticized the dialogue, acting and overall story as being mediocre. Very few critics said it was anything more than a solid science fiction/fantasy movie with great visuals. Boyhood is not being universally praised just because it took 12 years to make. That's ridiculous. Critics are calling it a masterpiece specifically because of the realism of the acting and dialogue, and for showing how small moments help to form someone's personality and influence their life. You don't get a Metacritic score of 100 and universal praise from other filmmakers and international critics just by thinking of a creative idea for a movie.

Just wait til avatar 2!

Rise of the sugars Totally agreed with you. People just like to overrate every new thing because reasons. So stupid...

All those movies you named have plots.

I agree that you don't need a structured plot to make a good movie but I still think Boyhood was underwhelming on those standards as well.

Rami Mikati agreed

Yeah but then there's no way to objectively criticize this movie because you can always pull out the excuse "But it's SUPPOSED to be like that!" Doesn't make it the best fucking movie ever.

Amen

Grammy

That's why this movie is so great.

+TheExplosiveShart also it took 12 YEARS to make did you know that boyhood took 12 years to make

Unknown yup

this is how linklater saw film making so all his films tell normal people with normal feelings and without a real film plot

Objection ! I think humanity has plenty fun

***** RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! *BOOM!*

Oh no! Giant flying sheep!

I did!

"Throw the CHEESE!"

"I like Trains"

bananafishu des HAHAHAHA

Yeah except not every damn kid grows up to be emo and freaking weird as hell

Hunter Helms yeah i said that in my comment. i did not care for him as a teenager at all but that doesn't make it a bad movie

You know... life is BORING at times. And some folks lives aren't WORTH watching. now go see Unbroken. THERE is a life worth watching. THIS Emo kid and bunch of losers? Nothing to see here...keep moving.

Mc Kenna now this is rude...

Rude? Not at all.

Or perhaps everyone loves it, and deep down loves it more :)

or hates it, and deep down hates it even more

Brad Wright ...Na

who the F loves it?

JustifiedMayhem32 How is it good? Acting? Story? Directing? Please elaborate what you like about it!

BOYHOOD

+ironmaster64 ITS AMAZING IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE

The Up series has taken 50 years to make... Again no I just don't like when people use this excuse to pretty much deflect any valid criticism of the film, not saying your doing it here, but I have often seen people use that as their entire defense of Boyhood and it can get ratherirritating. I do think the film is far from perfect, it does have some geniune flaws especially in the final hour, it's still overall a very strong movie and saying it's not entirely perfect and shouldn't be put up on a pedastal free from criticism is okay too.

It's a meme from Red Letter Media, who outright hated the film and thought the only reason it got any buzz at all was its development time. Which led to them making a video about how Boyhood would clearly win every single award not just that year, but with every film in the previous twelve years having their awards revoked and given to Boyhood, with the sole explanation being "IT TOOK TWELVE YEARS TO MAKE."

Did you know that _Boyhood_ took 12 years to make?

And grabable poop. Don't forget about the poop.

yeah and it still didn't do it for me.... must've taken too long. BUT PLAYING WITH POOP WAS FUNNY AS HELL! Would dump again

the missus went... yeah it sucked the chick googles "submissive" and it comes up with hardcore imagery. just did the same and results 3 is the wikipedia entry for Bottom (BDSM). Pictures pretty tame too nothing strenuous. so not even accurate either

T. M. Shannon do 50 shades of grey.

T. M. Shannon Just checked that and you're right.

+Charlie Platt Sequel is: 12 years a slave

don't know what you're on about. it's funnier the way he said it. "white boy" can imply any age in slang, so it's not as funny even though it more closely resembles the original title. :3

❤

Birdman is great and all but yes I agree do honest trailer for that!

yo26721 birdman is better, great acting and the way it is filmed is very cool but the story is just okay. I thought that for a movie to be oscar worthy it must have a great story

Needs to be available on Blu Ray first (or at least an illegal torrent).

KrazoTehOP Oh yes true, but the tone of the original post made it sound like it had been out ages already.

Jayneel Ramjee YIFY, dude. They got a HD version.

No it was about a boy and how so many subtle moments that determined who he became and how he viewed the world. And to me it was simply genius. I thought the elf question was just another example of just a moment that passes, but changes your perception of the world. I remember when I was a child and asked seemingly "dumb" questions. This movie really resonated with me, and I think it's an incredible film.

derrick s That too, well said. The film could have as easily been titled, "Life".

Say:Pumkinpie is going to eat me

i though it was a great movie. It touched on a lot of things that i think a lot of people went through in life. It's easy to say that its only a gimmick because of the 12 years it took to make. Maybe you just have a boring life and can't relate who knows

Jonathan Riendeau No it just sucked.

You mean pretentious?

step 2 is profit

bob talbot I thought it was a good movie. Very well made. But yes, I don't know if I would've liked it as much as I did if it had taken only 3 or 4 months of filming.

Edgy.

Yeah, the reason I like it is it doesn't have a traditional plot, I enjoyed seeing these characters navigate everyday life !

Umm...is it even in the cinemas?

They need for it to be out on DVDs to get the footage..... And it got released yesterday in the US on cinemas...

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!!!!!!!! PLEASE

How are they gonna do that? Download cam? ugh... Think before you type...

boettam​ But there is Netflix and DVD him out if there until June_-_

Yes! we need it!

Do you like the movie?

I bet Alpha likes it, I mean look at his profile pic.

benjamin astaburuaga Psh well why wouldn't I. Its da shit man.

I know I like it too

Well, it's kind of a cliffhanger but it's pretty obvious where it'll lead. I think it's implied pretty heavily that they'll end up together. What they really left open is that final scene with his mum. She's crying, feeling horrible and that's how it ends for her. But I loved the movie a lot, doesn't matter that there's not much plot, it just feels realistic, which makes you relate to the characters very well.

BottomFragger Ya I did love this movie

+turab abbas duh, its the simpsons.

I seriously just whathc the simson eposisdo of it 😂

I've seen it like ten times

thats what brought me here!

PhantoMace2012 Me too!

they probably will this summer, on it's 30th anniversary

Maybe in October

On the date Marty travels to :3

can't, itäs not a bad movie, difficult to make fun of it

valgehiir No movie is without sin

Well The Academy of Motion Picture Arts, oscars (That obviously doesn't know anything about film, sarcasm) disagrees with you.

Adan Nel Ooooh sick burn, bro. I bet that paper cutout of a young adult male with a pube mustache in the Boyhood movie would agree with you. Do you also think that smart phones are turning us into Robot slaves of the Illuminati? And that you just want to do whatever you feel like doing, because it makes you feel, like, alive, or something?

You're correct that it doesn't deserve best film, but I enjoyed it and thought it was interesting. I would, however be fin with the guy winning best director because of the idea and teh ability to follow through with it over 12 years.

I thought it was a great capture of the early 2000s and a good coming of age.

WrappedInGray That shit was too funny man. Lmao

So you're saying that back when Linklater started filming this in 2002, he had an Oscar in mind? I find that a bit hard to believe.

Adam Abuelheiga That's the only reason he wanted to make this! If your an engineer, will you make a building that takes a year to make in 12 years? He was still paid for the deal of 1 movie so that sucked that he could have been paid for like directing 12 movies in tha time but he stuck with this!

Abdullah Zubair Eh? Also he directed 9 films in those 12 years, Mans a legend.

landondonovanify Amen, my favorite director for sure.

Adam Abuelheiga This thread flew straight above yours and a couple of others heads. My point was that this film's concept is the main selling point, not the movie itself. Just check out the trailer, it sells the concept, not the movie. I watched a feuturette, all they talked about was the shooting process. Like I said, I loved the movie. But it will win Best Picture for all the wrong reasons. "Zomg it took 12 years u has to vote for it." It's like 12 years a slave, media forced people to vote for it because this was, and I quote, "The one chance the academy has to prove they're not racists."

Your not missing much. Trust me there is nothing happening in that "movie" watch 7up it's on Netflix.

Oh wow it took 12 years to make lets disregard any normal criteria for a movie, let alone an oscar winning movie and just give the damn thing away.

That's not how it works. If I filmed an apple tree growing for twelve years, would I deserve an Oscar?

Beloved Senpai It's a RedLetterMedia reference. Check their recent highlight videos out and you will understand.

***** No, you would deserve 12 oscars

***** Beloved Senpai That's the joke, my fellow internet comrades. Also, it's -probably- a reference to this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JzhpbXQDl6g.html Have a wonderful day!

How can you say that when we also have John Wick?

Advanced Prime Do not forget about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Michael Bay is such a great director!

IvysLifeStyle He didn't direct TMNT, he was a producer

IvysLifeStyle You're kidding right? He has re-done Transformers and somehow made it the exact same as the previous ones, just with different faces, and he's given up on it.....how's that even considered good?

your friends are obviously not thinking very hard. it's one character who makes some bad decisions. i don't know any person older than high school age who would consider the character any kind of role model, but she's not supposed to be. she's a real-world representation of a normal, flawed human being. please don't walk around thinking people who call themselves feminists are stupid just because your friends are too stupid to understand what this character represents. thanks.

But, feminists are stupid. So there's that.

sounds like your friends should count you a jewel among men! :D ...seriously, get new friends until you make your stand as a person why are you wasting your time with people who don't align with your lifeviews if you're just standing around judging them maybe go away and do something else hm and if you're writing off all people who call themselves feminists based on a couple of chicks you know, go out into the world and judge a little less

You really seem to lack some life experiences. I would say that you should either grow up or seriously rethinking yourself.

San Gin Sei I'm curious as to your superior life experiences.

agreed

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

imp?

DASding148 in my opinion

Longshots Ah. Nah.

EDIT: I do really like this movie. I just don't think that it deserves best picture. IT IS A GOOD MOVIE THERE IS NO DENYING THAT. AND IT IS AN INFLUENTIAL PIECE OF CINEMA. There were better movies this year though. Much better.

"incredibly intriguing idea" -> not really there have been a couple of documentaries that did a similar thing, but the stories were actually real rather than cheap drama. Plus Coronation Street (British soap-opera) has numerous characters played by the same actors over many decades (the longest serving character currently on the show has been a continuous feature for 52 years!). But I don't see anyone hailing them as creative genius.

@agilemind because coronation street is depressing and bad

Don't worry, American Sniper or Selma will probably win it.

TheHolySC Yeah... If anything, the only competition Boyhood has is Birdman (or maybe even Whiplash).

Oh no! Since you haven't heard of this movie that makes this video terrible. Boo fucking Hoo

you haven't heard of it? its a pretty big thing now so that surprises me. its a cool concept but I wouldn't call it my cup of tea mostly cause I don't really think i'd like it. anyway, for the argument going on, i'm gonna have to take Quinton Doucet's side here. it did seem like you didn't like it because you never heard of the movie. then again you added plus but that's easy to miss. honestly your both at fault here. because the Boo Hoo thing was not needed and the scum earth thing was especially not needed. anyway lets calm down a bit now.

Ainsley Felds It feels wierd to imagine Flapjack saying these things

Here's the surprising thing about honest trailers. They're funnier... IF YOUVE SEEN THE MOVIE. Who knew?

kellenabner and sometimes even if you haven't! *whispers quietly* that's not what he meant though just warning you

Richard Linklater is great! He is one of my favorite directors, The Before Trilogy had one of the best screenplays i have seen in years and most of his characters feel so natural and interesting. But Boyhood was a mediocre major disappointment. I am okay with movies that doesn't put a concrete story to itself, but this movie had a really really mediocre execution that a lot of people and critics ignore just because the time it took. A lot of things that were put on the film felt so unatural and aumaterish that i felt like i wasn't watching a Linklater film and just a filmschool student. Most of the actors were complete shit and they didn't give a fuck to put effort in to it, the only ones that had a character with personality was the Mom and the Dad. The plot devices were extremely dull, without subtlety and forced, the cinematography was uninteresting, and they tried to use useless things and aspects to reincorporate them in the most underdevelop and pathetic way. As someone that loves Linklater's work, i am whiling to say that this movie is just bad as much as i wanted to like.

Oh, and sorry If my english is a little shitty, it is my second language

LegoMation26 Fair enough you're entitled to your opinion and I do agree that the film is far from perfect and it's not Linklater's best by any means but I thought it was brilliant and poignant. Linklater's films have never been about the plot, they're about characters. Most of his films don't even have a plot.

Yeah, most of his films are about the script, subtlety, and characters, Before Sunset is my favorite of his, but in my opinion Boyhood is his worst movie. Boyhood's script always had the same flow of feeling improvisational that Linklater never fails on, but for me there weren't characters, just awful actors reading their lines, and the "subtleties" were pretentious and poorly written. Maybe If it was directed by someone else, i could enjoy it a little more or maybe understand its flaws; but at the time i got out of the cinema, i was just screaming in my head -Linklater! You fail on me, how could you make a lot of amateur mistakes? Are you on film school... I was surprised that i didn't like his most acclaimed film, so i saw it another time and i dislike it even more and noticed even more flaws. I really wanted to like it, but shit, i just couldn't ignore all these aumaterish flaws.

But apart from Boyhood, i think i loved all his films, even school of rock that had shitty child actors.

I think the movie has to come out on DVD/BluRay so that they can pick the scenes they need in HQ

Nope, I bet you a 6pack there is no Interstellar Honest Trailer

March 31st is the release date, so ya.

The movie released in november, how did theydo an honest trailer 6 months earlier genius? Why don'tyou put a link?

+lukas wildau It's like 3 hours of nothing really happening... But still enjoyable lol

Lmao true

I didn't like this movie. All the characters were bland and boring (not to mention terribly performed) other than Ethan Hawkes' character. The "dialouge" between the children was laughably bad. The main character was uninteresting and a douchey hipster (probably based off of Richard Linklater). The story was un-engaging (literally nothing happens) not to mention horribly paced. And Finally, it's unnecessarily preachy and hamfisted in it's symbolism and messaging. All in all, it's a 'C' of a film. It's not shit, but hardly a masterpiece, and definitely not a proper Oscar contender (although the Oscars are a joke anyway.)

snipaxthebulldog You think Patricia Arquette's performance was terrible? You're just saying things, but you aren't actually making any arguments. You're offering me opinions, but you aren't making any attempt to support the things that you're saying. For example, you said that the dialogue is "laughably bad," but you never actually referenced any specific lines. You just gave me an empty opinion, that's it. All of your opinions are empty, though. You just kept telling me how things are and not even bothering to explain your reasoning. So, basically, you're full of shit.

so if my opinion is not the same as your opinion, then my opinion is shit...? that's just your opinion. there for your comment is useless to humanity.

SomeonesReviews You must be joking, I don't see any defense on your part either hypocrite.

SomeonesReviews Do you really want me to write an entire fucking essay in the comments of a youtube video? I'm not going to go back and cite every stupid scene that goes with my critque. I'm not writing a review here, nor am I debating you. I'm simply stating my opinion. Fine, I'll concieve that Patricia Arquette's perfomance was good, but that hardly changes my standing on the film. I don't like this film, and I gave you reasons for why I don't (reasons I might add that you haven't been able to successfully rebut). Stop pretending to act that I'm full of shit when you can't even make a coherent argument past, "your opinions are empty."

I never heard of it until now and it sounds really boring

@@anime_cyko It's not boring, trust.

Oh didn't hear, "you just weren't smart enough to understand the film" - according to every advocate of the film on here lol

say that to all the oscars it was nominated

Hence the creation of the word "Overrated".

Don't say it's overrated when you don't understand it. Say you don't like it and that is fine because it is your opinion after all.

I understand it completely, and that's the whole problem the movie was too simple. Its a story about a kid who was nothing and grew up to become nothing with nothing interesting happening in his dull life. What a waste. Smh

yes plz do the wire

Sheeeeet

Fuck yeah do The Wire!!!!

They came out in different years¿

+Roger Roger actually beauty and the beast was nominated as that years best picture even though it was animatee

+Roger Roger Three animated films have been nominated for Best Picture... Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3.

Roger Roger i knew that already. I believe shrek won the first ever. Just saying beauty and the beast was the first best pic nomination. However it is possible for you to be nominated for both best animated and best pic and even win one.

+Jacob Bender definitely won't happen
