Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

In your opinion, what's next for Mason?

Hi Ellar,

I just wanted to tell you what a profound effect 'Boyhood' has has on me. This year, I turned 18 and finished school. I go to university in September.

I felt such a connection with the character of Mason and was moved in a way I don't think I have ever been by film, at least not recently. The final mother-to-son monologue brought me to tears.

When I returned home from the cinema I felt a strange sense of release, as though all the anxieties I had been habouring about the future had evaporated. Your unique film really put things into perspective.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you, and Richard, Patricia, Ethan - everyone involved - for partaking in this cinematic landmark that has managed to bring a sense of clarity to my life.

My question is, as you worked closely with Arquette and Hawke during your formative years, do you feel as though your relationship with them is similar to that between and child and a parent?

I love this film. I've already seen it twice and I plan on returning to the cinema soon. My question is, what is the best way I can share this beautiful movie with people and help bring it to a wider audience?

Is there any particular childhood event that you wish had been included in the film?

Do you feel there is a clear moment when a 'boy' becomes a 'man'?
