Guy becomes obsessed with Oswald (British actor and TV presenter Adam Pearson), who he views as a happier, more successful version of his former self. Pearson previously starred in Schimberg’s 2019 film Chained for Life, about an actress struggling to connect with a disfigured co-star; Schimberg, who has a cleft palate, is drawn to the theme of facial differences.

No. While the film includes Pearson, an actor who, in real life, is known to have a diagnosis of NF1, it’s important to understand that A Different Man is not about NF1. The characters portrayed by Stan and Pearson are identified as individuals with facial differences, but the film does not explore the condition or cause of these differences.

I suppose one reason I'm so disappointed is because this could have been a remarkable narrative of a climber who benefited from the system (in this case, the research breakthrough turning him into "A Different Man") only to pull up the ladder behind him for entirely selfish reasons.

Review: 'A Different Man' Is Saved by Two Great Performances | TIME

It affects his facial appearance and his speech, and marks him as “different.” We see one of the clumsy videos in which he’s featured, apparently enacting some kind of by-the-water-cooler fainting spell; his co-workers in the video ostensibly treat him as an individual by condescending to him—exactly the sort of behavior these videos ought to be working against.

A Different Man's Exhilarating, Insightful Genre Blend Is More than Skin Deep

You can change your hair, you can change your clothes, you can surgically change your face to that of Hollywood hunk Sebastian Stan, and you’ll still be the same awkward, unlikeable weirdo on the inside. Or at least, that’s what writer/director Aaron Schimberg asserts in A Different Man, an exhilarating blend of body horror, dark comedy, sci-fi and romance.

“Different Man” is brilliant

I think people who are introverts (I used to be a major one) will really connect with this movie. People who struggle to make friends or meaningful relationships while others around them seem to have no problem. Often times the first thing people blame are their looks. While the movie does show there are advantages to having good looks (Edward is able to get laid and he gets a better job) it shows that there was a deeper personality issue at play. While improving his looks got him superficial successes, it didn’t get him the one thing he really wanted which was a deep meaningful relationship. Looks might get you in the door, but personality keeps people in the room. My only criticism is we never see Edward revealing who he really is to anyone else I think the movie needed that emotional revelation in the third act.

A Different Man: Your Thoughts and Feelings about Oswald

I think his purpose in that movie to tell people insecurity is within. You can change your face but your self worth lies in your mind.

A Different Man - Question

1- There is a time jump after Edward goes to jail: years have passed 2- Yes. Since there is no official record of a Guy Moratz, the police would have discovered Edward’s lie, and it wouldn’t be a stretch for Ingrid and Oswald to have found out the truth. A near perfect movie for me and Sebastian Stan was great but my one flaw is we never actually see Edward admit who he really is to anyone else and we never get that emotional revelation and personally I think the movie needed that.

For those who have seen A Different Man

I interpreted it to be a possibility, but that the ambiguity over it is more central to the film than the answer. Is Oswald just so happening to show up at places where Guy is (the theatre just after Guy lands the role, the bar when Guy is hanging out with his work friends, etc) and just so happening to say the very things that lead to Guy’s life unraveling, or is it more nefarious? Is Oswald calling him Edward just a slip of the tongue, or a playful reference to the role they both shared, or a cruel and knowing twist of the knife? Guy’s growing paranoia leads him to believe that it’s all being done to harm him — either through deliberate steps by Oswald or in a more nebulous ‘taunting from the Universe’ way, if you will. Personally, though, I don’t think Oswald knew. I appreciate the interpretation that Guy/Edward’s dissatisfaction with his life prior to the procedure was due to his own lack of confidence and assumptions about others. Oswald therefore would act as a positive example of the opposite, someone who is rewarded for being self-confident and compassionate towards others. Having him know Guy’s secret takes away from that for me. That said, the implication that he might have known was certainly intentional and left up to the individual.

A Different Man: Something I realized on my second watch

I always assumed after Stan’s character goes on trial, his fake ID doesn’t hold up and his real identity comes out

My take on A Different Man (first watch)

Interesting take. Definitely one of the most underrated movies of the year.

“A different man” deserved so much more

This could've been one of the most important movies of the decade with the right marketing. Huge miss for A24.
