A coming of age film, from my previous understating was about how a prodigy or a younger character was expected or demanded to do more. But with these films that I have watched recently show much more than that.
The character has to desire more out of life, whether to become stronger or make a life changing decision , the character has to take action. I've been through the coming of age situation, in which things depended on me growing up and taking action and also having to make a decision that impacted my life forever. I don't wish to see American Graffiti 2 because it will ruin the mystery of what could happen next, for some viewers they desire to find out what happens next but personally I enjoy wondering.
What I've learned from the coming of age process is that it's not an easy time. There will be obstacles that will test you and force you grow up and become stronger and more independent. It's not a phase you just live through, it's a situation you have to overcome.
