Review 4K Movie

Richard Linklater can safely be called the most patient director of our time. After his famous trilogy (so far a trilogy), which he filmed at intervals of 9 years, the director presents the public another masterpiece, which he filmed this time for 12 years. On the one hand, it is clearly a successful way to choose actors, on the other hand it is an even more successful way to show the formation and maturation of people during such a solid period of time.

The film's protagonist, Mason, molests at the beginning as a six-year-old boy from an ordinary American family, with his own problems
and, familiar to most people. The boy's mother does everything for a better life for him and his sister, the father occasionally appears in their lives, trying desperately to somehow take part in the upbringing of children. As events unfold, the characters grow up, the family moves to another town, the stepfather appears in their family, and so on. Life evolves along with the characters: presidents change in America, thin monoblocks appear in classrooms instead of colorful iMac G3s. There is no point in retelling the plot. The main thing this picture shows is, of course, not the plot, it is quite ordinary (ordinary but not banal). In fact, this story is about what happens to us between the ages of 6 and 20. Especially this movie will be close to those who are now the same age as Mason by the end of the movie (18-20 years old). The director has definitely managed to get a naturalness and sincerity from the characters. In those almost 3 hours, you literally live the most important segment in the lives of the characters. Watching teenage Mason, you remember how young he was and see how his voice, appearance and character have changed. The picture makes you smile as you hear the characters' jokes and recognize yourself in many of their actions. The character of Ethan Hawke (Mason's father) also has a special role. From a doomed, sharpened in a mid-life crisis man, he becomes a model family man, still immensely loving his children.

This movie will definitely go down in cinematic history, and not just because of the decade-long filming process. It is a film everyone should see for themselves. The film literally opens our eyes to our lives, showing us what ultimately turns out to be the most important thing in a person's life: family and love. It is especially sad that the Russian audience will most likely never see this film for some unknown reason.
