Bildungsroman thread

I saw a thread on coming-of-age films last week, but never got around to posting in it and now its gone smh fam

Every true/honourary aryan knows that all narrative is a coming-of-age story on some level.

ITT: only the most prestigious kino about teenage self-actualisation.

Fuck off, >>>Holla Forums

...

You have to go back, Tojo.

fam, if you can't take the heat, get out of the shitposter's kitchen.

Dumping my list of favourite Japanese coming-of-age films.

The definitive Japanese school shooting film. Directorial debut of Sogo Ishii (Dead End Run, The Crazy Family, Burst City). Slick and angsty film about Japan's high-pressure education system, a pretty nice Occidental parallel to If….

So this is your new "reddipol" eh?

What's the deal with "coming of age" stories anyway? Why aren't midlife crisis stories or elderly stories placed on such a pedestal? Puberty isn't even that great.

How the fuck would a midlife crisis story or an elderly story be great? One would be about an alcoholic who drinks himself to death and the other would be a bout a man who dies in his home after he falls and breaks his hip.

/a/ really needs to go.

The coming of age story is about a stupid kid who skips mandatory public education to fuck a girl and cause epic chaos and infrastructure damage in his parents car or bike.
