About Boyhood and my project
I have watched Boyhood lately directed by Richard Stuart Linklater. I am a big fan of his former movie, School of Rock, which starred Jack Black. It always works to make my mood turn around. That director would have what perspective I like about the US. Roughly speaking, my favorites of his works are energetic and have a well-detailed style. The US is multicultural. He knows how to represent diversities as energy. Considering his background, He is from Texas, where is known for the conservative area in the US. He, however, seems to have a different taste away from the majority and like exceptions. He have strong ego in common. but he also touches on small details. I will show two aspects of his recent movie which appeals to me. The one is his big movie ego. The other is his symptomatic details.
Boyhood would be the champion of come-of-age movies, even among all movies. It's the epic experiment for 12 years. They filmed for the same period every year. Over the years, the main character and the movie grew all up. Movie, so called, is all about time. His movie becomes the movie itself. It is an experiment that matches the story and form. It feels dejavu with Guillermo del Toro movies in the way of time and also Paul Cezzane paintings in unification. Their works have no zones between we and the works. They create an experience of unity like one school of thought in philosophy. Becoming the movie is his overman, of movie, for movie, by movie. It’s definitely not like god’s way. God is almighty. We are limited in time and power. The abyss of limitation gives us beyond dimension ironically. That's human methods. I feel more connected through movie. That seems to be life and movie.
In the last scene, the director delivered his thought for 12 year work through the mouth of the movie. "The moment seizes us", saying the girlfriend-to-be. It’s an opposite variation of the famous quote “Seize the moment”. It also makes sense. The moment is constant and always right now like her sitting next to him. Something always lies with a new love spark. The giving off moment repeats. It talks about becomings of difference. it shows the way the movie presents itself. Detail-captured moment fill the movie. Specifically, In the scene of bowling, it ends with cut-away insert. It shows a logo video on the screen when all pins are fallen over. An alligator bites and breaks off all pins in a funny way. It looks like they filmed in a hurry for schedule. It's not well-framed, either. I am not sure if it is done on purpose. The shot would rather looks lively and friendly. I call it the point of view of the times. The moment tells a lot. First of all, the alligator shows local attributes. It also ends up saying their joy by family get-together activity in that moment. The moment lasts long and repeats.
I add more points to diagonal art through this session. Over-going and down-going happen in a diagonal way. It speaks to me. Haebangchon project is ripen in mind. I want it to be dealt with in a different way. Waiting on top and Rushing on bottom would be presented in a diagonal world. I hope to see it in person.

저도 보이후드를 흥미롭게 보았지요. 바바의 말대로, 보이후드가 시간을 다루는 방식이 재미있었습니다. 영화를 시간의 예술이라고 정의하는 경우, 보통 압축하는 방식으로, 때로 한정없이 늘리는 방식으로, 시간을 조작하기 때문이지요. 반면 12년이라는 시간의 흐름에 따라 배우들의 변화를 12년 동안 촬영한 보이후드는 1년에 15분씩 12년간 찍은 영화라고 하지요. 이 영화는 실제의 시간을 따라 영화의 시간이 함께 흐른다는 점에서, 오히려 기존의 영화와 다른 퍼스펙티브를 보여주고 있습니다. 그래서 저는 보이후드를 '시간에 대한 영화의 소수적 감각'이라고 말하고 싶습니다.
12년의 시간을 12년동안 촬영한 감독 리처드 링클레이터는 '지금 바로 이 순간'에 대해 말하려고 하는 것 같습니다. "높은 곳에서 바라보면 모든 것은 다 필연적이며, 거시경제적 의미에서 모든 것은 다 그 자체로 유용하다. 그것들을 사람들은 견뎌내야 할 뿐 아니라 사랑해야 한다. 운명애, 이것이 나의 가장 내적인 본성이다." [즐거운 학문] 퍼스펙티브를 달리하면, 즉 우리 인생을 거시적으로 개괄하면, 우리는 "모든 것이 필연적이며 그 자체로 유용하다"는 결론에 도달하게 될 것입니다. 이 전제는 곧 '지금 이 순간'에 집중하라, 결국 '우리의 삶'을 사랑하라는 메시지에 이르지요. ㅎㅎ 오랫만에 다시 생각하는 보이후드였습니다. 바바 덕분에 ^.^
