Film review: Boyhood

I went to the cinema the other day,I was not sure whether I was going to enjoy watching this film but I was rather surprised as the film was really entertaining.I was going to go with a friend but he changed his mind as I expected so I knew that this film wasn't the kind of film that he usually likes.

I was quite shocked with the fact that it took 12 years for this film to see the light as the director had to track the life of the actors of the film because of that, I really like a lot as I was going to be able to see from the beginning till the end of the film the same actors.

I have to admit that not all actors like to get involved in a 12 years old film as many of them just want to finish and move on as in this society we live in a world with so many ups and downs so all their effort made it extra-special.

The key message of the film is that no matter what happens in your life,you can overcome your problems,become a better person or a successful man or woman.Sometimes we cannot make decisions and even if we make them they might not be quite right which really happens frequently.

Our parents decide for us what is the best for us,the kind of way that we have to follow and a free guidance that it does not mean that they are absolutely the best option just for their duty of care and also our parents are allowed to make mistakes as nobody is perfect in this world,we tend to follow our instincts taking into account our previous experience and knowledge.

As this film shows that despite of an intense childhood with so many ups and downs children can become good adults and taking positive aspects...nothing is set in stones.

I'd rather recommend this film,first because it is quite entertaining and because it gives you and insight of a normal family life and it follows their timeline for over a decade,there is always a hope for a better life and no matter how bad the circumstances are we can overcome,move on and enjoy our life.....but also the message is respect yourself and others and love to yourself and other too.

I will see you at the cinema then.......!
