'Boy' is one of my top-five favorite movies of all time.
'Dil Chahta Hai' is not the first film about friendship. 'Lakshya' is not the first film about war and coming of age.
There aren't a lot of films about adolescents or quote-unquote coming-of-age films that are realistic nowadays.
I love coming of age stories that have struggle.
A lot of first novels are coming-of-age stories. A lot are autobiographical.
I could talk about 'Lady Bird' for literally the rest of my life! It never gets old.
I've never read a young adult novel, though. I'm sure I would love it, but I've never read one.
I always wanted to make a coming-of-age film, or something about growing up, like 'The Wonder Years,' 'Stand By Me' or 'Diner.'
