Beautiful child

I believe that opening shot of him as a little boy in Boyhood (and used for the poster) will become an iconic image. It (and the realization that I still love Yellow by Coldplay) just took my breath away.

It perfectly captures that look of wonderment and boredom that is childhood.

What an exceptional film. A new classic.

Have you seen The Odd Life of Timothy Green?

Yes I have. It was quite charming I recall.

Why do you ask?

My thoughts exactly. One of the best shots I've seen in a film.

I think so too. He was such a beautiful child, such tenderness and sensitivity in his eyes. I think if he fills out and cleans up a bit he'll be a handsome man too.
