BOYHOOD...What a great movie! I simply believe in America again! They
are also humans, guys, trust me:) Its obviously doesn't matter if you
are an American, German or Russian. There are the same problems, the
same ways, the same love inside us. As a Russian I must say I
understand American people and also myself much much better with this
movie. It was like... about me... I just COULD NOT imagine how much we
are all the same.. Just love it! If I look at my childhood in the
former USSR I see not much difference, the cars and houses are
different, we spoke Russian, but that feeling, that pulse of life, that
sometimes "lost" fathers and mothers to solve every day problems,
fighting for the existence and good life for the children are so
familiar to me.. That long hair and piercing.. Oh boy, its all so much
alike. And those "Paul was greater than the others...". The movie is
just breathing, its a three hours of fresh air!
I do not want to say much about the qualities of the movie.. It is
overall brilliant. I do believe, this will be a classical film, and
students all over thew world will study it in future at their film
schools. P.S. Sorry for my poor English.
