The psychological pressures from fear of being found not good enough for the job

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2019)

The theme of the story is interesting in that it alludes to things that are familiar to us, with the viewer thinking that this guy is incapable in his life, much like his musical career, but actually his speedy successes came with his own touch on things.
But when you finally find out who he is, what he used to do for a living, any condemnation at a wasted life dissipate and you grow to love his character more. Given the turnover rate in that industry, we would find their highly trained staff in all areas of society. Given the life he led after the bump on the head, I started to wonder if the external forces causing the shift were less physical and instead work pressure related leading to a psychotic break. In a thankless profession, here the character just wants to be appreciated. What he does isn't really bad since many in the music field buy their song material from innovative creators and then put their face and name to it.
There were a few interesting points alluded to, for the viewer to take in and think about. From the claustrophobic stalkers representing the stress of being found out as not good enough to do your job, to stereotypical assumptions of blue collar service sector workforces, and the imagery of the assumed happiness of middle class professionals (who were quite laid back, not overblown, perfect characters.) Just human. Everyone is human. And I think the director wants us to examine all living and think about what roles we have in life, the unlikelihood of fame, and ultimately the price to be paid. (Is Ed Sheeran that bad at acting? Or was the "character" he was playing another demonstration of fear of not being the best?)
