Acknowledgments
Not just in Dazed and Confused , but in his debut, Slacker , a series of random coming and goings set over the course of a single day; and in the Before Sunrise , Before Sunset , Before Midnight trilogy, in which the characters played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy wander through various European cities, bantering, falling in love, passing through impossibly elegant alleys. All fiction, said Tolstoy, is one of two stories: man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town. The urges that compel us from one place to another—the usual narrative engine—are secondary. Would the relentless forward motion of time break his circular tendencies?
What ‘Boyhood’ Shows Us About Girlhood
The film is lengthy—almost three hours—and without much plot, but I sat rapt for every minute. The father, Mason Sr.

Olivia decides she should go back to school—get her college degree, improve their lot. The family relocates, Olivia marries one of her professors, they move into a much larger and more manicured house, complete with backyard trampoline and other trappings of upper-middle-class life. Percy: So much of the movie actually reminds me of a line that you wrote in one of my favorite books of poetry of yours, which is A Maze Me , which is….
Percy: …a book of poetry that you wrote for girls. Shihab Nye: Right, so the scene in the darkroom, when the darkroom teacher is really putting him on the spot, as a teenager. Shihab Nye: Yeah. And how many of us had that conversation with more than one teacher? This has a reference to the Hokey Pokey. Shihab Nye: Does anyone remember that? Shihab Nye: Oh, wow, okay. So it has a quote from that verse of the Hokey Pokey. Thank you so much for making that connection at all. And think about — just think about what an act — because I do a lot of poetry workshops.
People often talk about the risk involved and the act of belief, like jumping into the page. Tear it out and cross it out; turn the page. Who cares? Just start working on it.

Shihab Nye: And to me, that is such an act of faith and belief in your art, that you would do that. Percy: This movie — one of the characters in it really is Texas.
And then I went to college there and have stayed there. And when you live in Texas, you find yourself defending it in all other states…. There is a human warmth and a compassion that, often, is not represented by our politicians or public personae…. Percy: I feel like, watching the movie, it reminded me of how big Texas is. But I also think that the spaciousness of Texas is what makes the people so spacious and so open.
Shihab Nye: Yeah, and I did feel that that attitude was present, and also, the optimism. I feel like the mom is hopeful through the movie; she has to keep reinventing herself and keep moving. And I moved, as a child, many times too, and across the ocean — lived in Jerusalem and moved back; and my parents randomly picked Texas, kind of out of a hat, out of a newspaper.
Goodbye, crepe myrtle. Goodbye, mailbox. But I love her expression.

And I just so identified, as a child who spoke to stuff and to plants and trees and things, and still do — I so identified with that moment; the departure, the letting go. Percy: One of the things I love the most about the movie is how often it shows the reality of change. But it never passes judgment on it. Percy: It just presents it as it is; and it actually is beautiful, as a result.
Influences: Childhood, boyhood, and youth
It honors these unobtrusive, quiet moments, these little scenes, and it holds them. And it connects them. You just want to know what — how this will unfold. Percy: I think one of the reasons why I love it so much, apart from the fact that I still have such a little girl in me, like we all do, is because you capture so perfectly the moments of vulnerability and awkwardness and confusion that comes in childhood.
And I was reminded of this book, when I watched the movie again in preparation to talk with you, and especially, the end lines of your introduction. Shihab Nye: Wow, I have no idea what they are. Let me see what they are, the end lines. Uncanny connections will be made visible to you. Every year unfolds like a petal inside all the years that preceded it. You will feel your thinking springing up and layering inside your huge mind, a little differently. Your thinking will befriend you. Words will befriend you. You will be given more than you could ever dream.
Thank you. But I do feel comforted by that fact of lines — if you write your lines, that you will be given what you need, as, in this movie, I felt comforted that there was a movie that felt so close to real life that I would always think about real life differently. Shihab Nye: Yeah, I love them.
Well, I had another question, but actually, I think those are amazing last words. Percy: Naomi Shihab Nye is a badass visiting poet, all around the world, and a professor of creative writing at Texas State University. And reminiscent of how great it is when you and your parent s can start sharing movie opinions like equals. Mason and his mom and sister are living in Houston now. At seven years old, he and Samantha are getting along like cats and dogs, but they huddle silently together when they peek out the window to see their parents fighting.
One Big Dark Room. After a few years of ill-advised teen shagginess, Mason has cut his hair to a rather cute length. Mason also meets Sheena at a party and dazzles her with his talk of feeling alive versus normality.
He also sports blue nail paint, much to the chagrin of stepdad Bill. At the beginning of the movie, Mason is a dreamy six-year-old spray-painting innocent graffiti on walls, sneaking peeks at lingerie catalogs, and spying on his mom arguing with her khaki-shorts-clad boyfriend. Era-Specific Pop Culture: So much! Good thing his mom is generally cool with it. Not when her own hair is so sleek. I guess just giving Mason the GTO for nothing.
