▸电影《少年时代》的第99分钟，Mason十五岁的生日，一家人在院中弹唱，这一幕温暖且令人难忘。
▸电影行至此处之时，有恍惚之感。小Mason十五岁生日之时，老Mason已经成了一个成熟的男人。一代人的少年时代结束，一代人的少年时代开始。
▸老Mason从一个疯狂的追求艺术梦想的摇滚青年，开着拉风的GTO跑车，带着两个孩子偷拔别人家门口的大选造势旗杆，变成了沉稳踏实顾家的中年男人。新任太太聪明而又性格温和，也不知是他哪里修来的福分，老丈人家里中十分重视宗教生活和家庭，一定从某种程度上影响了老Mason的价值观。
▸老Mason的改变让人很难评价。仍然处于摇滚青年时期的少年或许会竖起中指，“你向生活屈服了”。开始肩负起家庭责任的大叔可能会叹一口气，“我也曾年轻过”。
▸12年的时光，Mason的主题是“成长”，父亲的主题是“成熟”，母亲的主题是“岁月”。当我们回首往事的时候，也许有一些无力，但是回忆也恰恰是我们的财富，我们叫它生活。借影片结尾的话说，The Moment Seizes Us。
I hope for us to be together forever
But to wander wherever I may
I want you to be easy and casual
But still demand I'd stay
I want you to know me completely
But still remain mysterious
Consider everything deeply
But still remain fearless
Climb to the top, look over the ledge
Dance barefoot on the razor's edge
Reach for the stars, grab the tiger by the tail
If I don't try, I'll never fail
If you go home, you're rolling the dice
Can't step in the same river twice
You love too much, it'll turn to hate
You never leave home, you'll never be late
You eat too much, you're gonna get fat
You buy a dog, you'll piss off your cat
So take a deep breath and enjoy the ride
'Cause arrivals and departures run side by side
