A Different Man
A Different Man
Life is what you make it. Rather in Philip Campbell and Authors Aaron Schimberg Ridiculous A Different Man Sean Addo: Sebastian Stan (in anthropological therapeutic disguises) from their unique facial make over to even knowing them.
If acting in an infomercial about do’s and don’ts – for able-bodied individuals in a normal and professional environment, where they have to demonstrate communication with forcibly speaking communities as well as socially different ones, Edward continues to dramatize his role. He accepts the image that the society has constructed for him and which is more like a Frankenstein’s monster than the other heroic figures.
Not surprisingly, most people’s reaction towards Oswald (Adam Pearson) is sympathetic, since he lives with the same condition (I mean he has neurofibromatosis in his private life, which is not always visible, but in this case, it means there are tumors on the outside of the face) yet he is more social and has higher morale because he is ready to jump in any conversation and expects people to accept or disdain him without thinking.
Oswald at one point even partakes in some karaoke. He enters a space, and immediately it comes alive, with more of it coming to light about him speaking of a life that has been lived more than outsiders perceive some able-bodied people out there.
She has ambitions to be a playwright, and that is why she meets the apartment neighbor who goes by the name Edward. She also assures him that she would offer him a part. This play soars over and feeds into such misconceptions comfortably (or rather regrettably as her writings are instinctively narrow due to her experiences), there is also a story in the play which serves as a stereotypical narrative of disability imploring the ‘tragic’ aspects of this problem.
So imagine a man who loved a woman, but having been trapped in such a body (particularly the face in this case) that he did not even bill it necessary to appreciate himself it is normal that a large number of people have had a timeline on the probability of them connecting due to the emotional wall standing between them.
One would rather not overlook a relatively reasonable lie about living with average beauty being equivalent to having a cheat code to the game of life. That does make instigating and engaging in the flirtatious pursuits and romance somewhat uncomplicated as there is little or no fear of the opposite party declining.
More often than keeling over when confronted with deep end submersion of it that even goes as far as twists within core personalities, it is heartwarming to know that such possibilities do rather come about. These films, I already predicted, are centered on women with disabilities. Therefore, the play gets very dry very fast until if I’m not mistaken Oswald arrives.
How these two intersect and what happens next would be a spoiler to the viewer and also irrelevant because A Different Man is in a sense growing, deepening and expanding its scope with each passing moment without falling apart in the process.
Because that is something Amer Schimberg shares with Aaron Schimberg (a cleft lip and palate) and because this wonderful gentleman has worked with Adam Pearson on Chained for Life, one should not expect that A Different Man is going to be only about suffering for people with disability.
To understand and comprehend everything that the movie is trying to express or convey about identity, oppression, disability, romance, and the child’s responsibility for their own happiness or life is almost unobtanium. A Different Man has so many concepts that in its last 20 minutes, it rather tries to hit one of the points too hard than restate that point in an unpretentious way.
On the other hand, there are some aspects of A Different Man that might be a bit too much motoring (like Edward’s transformation into Guy and becoming a model). The third act degenerates into hash. Only to rise again with an eerie last line.
Fascinatingly, Aaron Schimberg (and even Adam Pearson who is not a credited writer but must have contributed some creative ideas) does not take the approach that may be expected and uses an obviously different actor in the scenes, which takes place earlier in the film when Sebastian Stan’s Edward has still not been brave enough to try radical surgery and medicine.
On the other hand, the prosthetic make up – it is so bloody real that although the film makes it clear in the beginning that Adam Pearson only plays Oswald (along with my knowledge of Adam swaying Oswald), it still required a little research to establish who was who by the end of the first act.
Yes, this is a film about a man who suffers from such immense disability as to become addicted to the behavior of certain nasty people or essential means of control (which he may not have the self-assurance or the guts to stop) that such extreme measures are needed for him to pursue his desires.
Still, it would also be extreme oversimplification to presume the ambitious shooter has got the plot in character as the film keeps re-sizing those around the characters’ thoughts in such immaculate progressive way like a drawn out joke coming together. A Different Man is a psychological brain freezefest where its major themes are presented in different facets.
