The film A different man (2024) by Aaron Schimberg shows how different world views can clash and coexist. It is about external projections and self-perception. The movie is full of metaphorical signs and had a motivating effect on me. It emphasizes the performative elements of a character. The dichotomies of passive and active as well as victim vs. active are also negotiated transgressively. It raises questions about the extent to which the exterior plays a role _ when aesthetics and character are decoupled.
