April 3

As luck would have it, my little girl Kimbra has shared with me the pandemic plaguing her daycare! Sam and Stacey were having some technical difficulties getting Boyhood up and running. The two coupled together were too much for me to bear! Time to take a Nyquil induced nap. On the bright side, the movie was available to rent on Amazon, and this was a good excuse to lounge on the couch with my wife Jevahly. We both really enjoyed the movie! Linklater did an outstanding job of really linking the world surrounding each time period filmed with the characters’ lives. Just the subtle things like clothing, fads, and music especially. Filming over a 12 year period surely made that slightly easier. The way each person grew/matured kind of hit home with me as well. Now in my late 30’s, I’ve watched myself, friends, and family go through similar metamorphosis and grow up to be a person 180 degrees different than our childhood. I’m glad this was a part of the curriculum because I doubt I would have seen this film otherwise.
