Im looking for films that deal with the implications of not necessarily living forever, but looking young all your life.
I went to a new doctor a few years ago since my insurance changed, this was the first time I've seen him. I'm 33 years old but have always been told I look young, people always guess im 18-20. Anyway, this doctor didn't believe me at first (my old family doctor never said anything because he knew me since birth). Anyway, after seeing him for a few years, he was getting pretty strange everytime he saw me. Apparently after I gave blood a couple appointments ago, he had sent it elsewhere for further testing.
He went on to tell me that my telomeres behaved differently than other people. He said that all my internal organs including my brain had a different way of dividing than my skeletal and dermis/epidermis. After being referred to several specialists it was concluded that I would still age, but at less than half the normal rate. They predict that I will look like I'm 30 when im around 70-80 years ago and after that things would gradually begin to speed up aging. So, I'm basically coming to terms with this fucking strange shit, can hardly believe it myself, and anyone I tell just thinks im crazy and acts weird so i dont really tell anyone, and its beginning to get harder and harder to convince people I'm in my mid 30s.
Im looking for a film that deals with something similar and how to live like this, and implications etc.
Is this pasta? I don't recognize it.

no, its real. not that i expect 4chan to believe much of anything these days.

I know a 67 year old guy who looks 20-25. He also has fair skin and extremely pointy and large fangs. As you might understand, everybody who knows him refers to him as either Dracula or Nosferatu.
Hey says the most annoying part about it is relationships since he finds it hard to connect to women who are actually in their 20s, while most older women are hesitant to go out with a man who looks like their son.

You'll like it, it tells about a man who doesn't know how to react around people about his true age.
>>79334020

>>79334345

only lovers left alive is pretty cool, it describe a neet immortal setup, and it's from jarmush so at least it's pretty looking and well acted
>>79335031
Don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs. Limit prescription medicines. Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Sleep a lot and eat healthy (more broccoli).
Being old must suck, it's like being young but the opposite
>>79335692
Being old isn't bad. What is bad is suffering due to poor decisions throughout your life catching up with you.
>>79335837
lol i'm 27 and already "suffering due to poor decisions throughout your life catching up with you."

Give me your fucking dna you whore I'm gonna die by 60 and I guarantee I've got a better chance of being worth a damn to society than you.
Benjamin Button
Not what you're looking for literally, but it deals with similar themes
>>79336051
im pretty sure you cant just transfer it, youd have to be born with it.
either way, its not that great. people treat you like a little kid all the time and im going to be 40 in almost 6 years.
>>79336336
I don't give a fuck how idiots would treat me, I've been published in a scientific journal and I only graduated college two months ago. Give me your dna before you waste it spending another 34 years bitching about how cashiers ask where your mother is.
>>79336559
>I've been published in a scientific journal and I only graduated college two months ago

>>79333541
I guess Benjamin Button is kind of like this. Hope your DNA helps humanity, OP.
>>79333541
There's an episode of the Twilight Zone titled 'Long Live X X' or somthng like that which tackled the themes you're looking for.
>>79333541

Oh and in response to your question.
It's not exactly a movie, but there are a series of books by Heinlein, about a character called Lazarus Long.
Essentially the character is a product of a breeding experiment, started by a man before he died at a young age, where they give incentives to people with four grandparents who lived a long time to breed with other similar individuals. The result being that Lazarus, in the first book, is a little over 200 years old, and the oldest living member of this project at the time.
I've enjoyed reading some of them, you may enjoy them too.

Whenever you're free is good with me
>>79333541

>>79333541
>give blood
>after "testing" the blood the doctor now knows that "all my internal organs including my brain had a different way of dividing than my skeletal and dermis/epidermis"
