Coming of age (but that age is 84)
Basically exactly what the top says. I want something that screams COMING OF AGE except instead of a teen movie like most coming of age stories, I want an image that showcases coming into 84-year-old-ness
Not an artist but I have an idea!
An image of an old man being given a book by a doctor. The title of the book is clearly visible and reads, "Everything Hurts: A Guide to Aging" and the doctor is saying, "You can skip to chapter 10."
Above the scene is a hospital sign that says "Hospice ➡️" and there's a woman in a wheelchair being pushed in that direction.
There's family members standing around talking about the old man like he's not right there in front of them.
On the wall in the background is a sign describing the, "Silver Alert" system and how to notify the authorities if Grandpa goes missing.
This is sort of a combo of the first and third idea with the doctor explaining the pains of ageing to the old man's family members instead.
You mean like Grumpy Old Men?
That's a great example of the genre I'm trying to hit but I'm pretty sure they're both 65 though... Think of the Dad from Grumpy Old Men and you'll get exactly what I'm going for.
My poor attempt:
84ishness suggests grey hair
He is an anomaly, also has a bit of hair left at the top center!
Harold and Maude?
https://imdb.com/title/tt0067185/
Harold is a weird young man, basically emo before emo existed (the movie came out in 1971), routinely fakes his own suicide, goes to funerals as a hobby, proceeds to meet the 79 yo Maude at one, then the two begin a friendship, which eventually becomes a romance.
Its... sort of a coming of age story for both Harold and Maude, who are forced to confront the deeper, uncomfortable aspects of themselves via each other, and both grow to a new level of understanding and acceptance of themselves as a result.
It is a movie that is simultaneously very odd and taboo and shocking, but also very wholesome, hopeful, and funny if you can get past the initial weirdness.
If this sounds anywhere close to interesting, do not look up a plot summary, it'll spoil too much, just actually find and watch the movie.
Hey thanks for the movie tip!
And now: you must've overlooked the community this post is on. We demand a drawing! And don't you dare to delete your comment! We want the drawing in an edit!
(not serious but hey, this is an opportunity to draw! this community doesn't know shitty drawings, just fire up paint or something and use your artistic license :))
Ah, I thought this was someone requesting a story or movie to draw?
There are many scenes in the movie that could be drawn.
As for myself, I have 0 drawing skill, a busted right wrist (I'm right handed) I've been doing physical therapy to for a year, can't type for more than short burst without extreme pain, and I only have a gas station tier smart phone.
Hooray for barely surviving being homeless for a year.
