A Different Man
There’s so many beautiful and sickening layers that come with tackling the subject matter here that makes me feel such a hatred for nearly all the characters in it especially that doctor’s stupid fucking glasses. Not that the glasses were exploitative or at least not as much as everyone else in this movie. There’s also a very violent jealousy which is entertaining to see these two sides of the same coin, these two outlooks and temperaments clash and hold hands.
Umberto Smerilli delivers on a beautiful soundtrack where the melody isn’t necessarily haunting but sinister where the catchy elements of it really play second fiddle in a way to the harmony which really changes and really dictates the flow which obviously is pretty normal for music but those sort of variations in the harmony change what you feel where the melody doesn’t really change at all until the second half where Sebastian Stan takes over the melody really begins to blossom and evolve and be the leader which is a really powerful moment.
I was really impressed how closely Adam and Sebastian's bodily proportions kinda match and how similar the bodily acting it to keep the character alive through the motion and movement. But it begins to change as it goes longer.
Plus the set is really quite nice in some areas very claustrophobic and some very minimalist I just like to think its at this point where its not overdone or underdone.
