Don't play dumb. Katy Perry is the classic popstar of the decade so when Taylor decides to shift her music towards complete pop 2 years after TD and start working with producers like Max Martin it isn't an unreasonable assumption to make that she was influenced whether consciously or not by Katy
QUEENhood confirmed that NO ONE should be stanning Gaga in 2014.

idk why her stans claim it as receipt when in the movie it basically says that she's a forgotten thing that you look back and think "omg I can't believe I was into that, how lame was I", like emo hairstyles and Nokia phones
Taylor's shift to pop was obviously Katy Perry inspired hence she hopped on the bubblegum pop trend. But, she didn't copy Katy directly. She instead ripped off Avril Lavigne's forgotten image+music.
Anyway, when the girl's best friend in Boyhood looks at her with disgust when she's watching the music video for Telephone

WOW, at you actually don't even noticing that this post sounds even more deluded than your last one.
I had such high hopes for this movie - from the super cool concept to the awesome acting to the talented writer and director. Maybe my hopes were TOO high, but it left me feeling disappointed.

This movie has no story and the characters comes out of a Lifetime movie or a teen novel.
People will like this movie for the novelty of it and the nostalgia. There are a lot of period signifiers in the movie. Like songs, devices, elections. It will take you back if you are between the ages of 18 to 24.

This movie was very boring, pointless and an unfortunate waste of my time.

I usually love slow burning character driven movies where the plot moves at a pace that dictates character development and depth.
Then I realised that there was still over 1 HOUR to go.AND NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.......and NOTHING looks like it will happen.
I DON'T care what happens to the BOY, the MOM, the SISTER or that DAD.
I HATED THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading all the great critical reviews and seeing the high IMDb rating, I was expecting to enjoy this movie. Then I realized it was 2h 45m long. Yes, the aging of the same characters was creative, but it has been done before across multiple movies (Harry Potter movies). I just kept expecting there to be more, not the same ole thing, age-change after age-change. I kept thinking, "What am I missing?"

I certainly am an outlier here as most reviews are either 1 or 10. But although it has a lot of good qualities, I found myself reading a book during it to past the time.

It grounds you in reality to a point it's almost unbearable.

Such a boring movie, like watching paint dry... If i remove the gimmick that was used all that remains is a boring snooze fest, the story was nothing extraordinary to offer, just follows a life, and a not very interesting one i add.

With Boyhood being US-oriented, I can see why it has had such rave reviews - there just hasn't been anything similar in those lands. Unfortunately, for those who aren't from the US there's little to relate to and much better alternatives.

The script was awful and went no where. It was nothing but a series of boring, unending vignettes strung together to try and tell a story. Which it failed to do.
The characters are one-dimensional, uninspiring, bland, and apathetic.
I have had more entertaining experiences getting pat-downs from TSA at airport security. Don't waste your money. Don't waste your time.

I think back to this movie and have no feeling for it.Although I remember all of the scenes,there is no emotion or empathy that I feel.It was three hours of watching nothingness,in my opinion. I could have been watching my or my friends' life stories,but ours are probably more exciting than this ludicrous film.

I realize that many critics have raved about this movie. That's why I rented it. I was sorely disappointed, however. In fact, it took me two evenings to get through this.
Quote:
Summary: Predictable, lackluster, plot; underdeveloped, over simplified characters. If the film aims for pure entertainment, it fails as the subject/setting/characters lacks imagination. If Boyhood aims for inspiration, it fails because the movie paints the 2 dozen or so characters (minus 2) as unrealistically benevolent. If Boyhood aims to educate, I certainly have learned nothing from the stereotypical events as they unfold.

I am not surprised, after looking at this film, that America's generation X are being bypassed for jobs in the world market.

Boyhood has gotten a lot of attention for the novel way it was filmed, but that alone isn't enough to make it an eternal classic. It's really nothing but a fictional documentary about one kid's growing up.
It's too long (almost three hours) and very repetitive, sort of like watching the kid experience the same experiences over and over at various different ages - Mom marries a jerk, kid plays the latest video game, Dad comes and goes, Mom marries another jerk, kid plays the LATEST video game, Dad comes and goes, etc, etc. Etc.

The gimmick— filming the same cast as they age twelve years—is nice. Too bad there wasn't a PLOT, Story, Action, or any point.
Total crap. Huge waste of time unless you're chief delight is The GOP and shooting guns and being a lower-middle class loser oxygen thief stuck in Nowhere, Texas.
AVOID THIS GARBAGE.

The director didn't do anything special. And the story is boring. Nothing happens. Movies are supposed to give the audience some kind of emotions. To feel sad, excited, to be scared or to laugh. None of that happens. This movie is a total waste of time. Take a look out of your window and watch birds fly or people walk by is more exciting believe me.

I kept watching to try and understand what the hype is all about but throughout it all, there was apx. 20 mins or so of decent watchable dialogue and acting. There were a couple of touching, father and son scenes - but again, no better than an average movie with the same type of scene (and likely better writing). The whole time you are watching it, you are thinking about the making of it, as opposed to getting into the movie.
idk why her stans claim it as receipt when in the movie it basically says that she's a forgotten thing that you look back and think "omg I can't believe I was into that, how lame was I", like emo hairstyles and Nokia phones
That's not what he intentionally said, though. When he filmed it he could have never predicted the future of Gaga's career. It was meant as one of the many cultural milestones the movie is so full of.
Any subtext about her decline or fading is completely coincidentally.

The logic, Linklater didn't know she would fade at the time
And the movie already referenced her three times, if he kept referencing her even more it might as well have been called "Gagahood"
I could show you more than twice as much saying otherwise. Your opinion on it would be valid had you at least watched the movie. Otherwise it's just stubbornly blind and unfounded hatred.
