Sebastian Stan Voices Concern Over Insensitive Remarks at Berlin Film Festival
During the press for his upcoming movie, Sebastian Stan calls out a journalist for using insensitive language for a disfigured face
At the recent Berlin Film Festival, Sebastian Stan, widely recognized for his role as Bucky Barnes, expressed disapproval of a journalist's insensitive comment regarding facial disfigurement. This incident occurred during a press event for his latest film, A Different Man, an engaging psychological thriller that has been generating buzz for its compelling narrative and thought-provoking themes.
In a moment that caught the attention of many, a journalist posed a question that referred to a character's transformation from what was described as a "beast" to a "perfect man." Stan, advocating for sensitivity and awareness, responded by highlighting the importance of language and the impact it has on our perceptions. "I have to call you out a little bit on the choice of words there," Stan remarked, emphasizing the significance of choosing words carefully, especially when discussing sensitive topics such as physical appearance and transformation.
Stan's response sheds light on a broader issue – the need for a more educated and empathetic approach to discussing topics related to physical differences and disabilities. He praised A Different Man for its exploration of these themes and its potential to alter perspectives, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and acceptance.
Adding to the conversation, Adam Pearson, co-star and disability rights activist, remarked, "A good film will change what an audience thinks for a day; a great film will change how an audience thinks for the rest of their lives." This statement underscores the power of cinema to influence societal attitudes and encourage a more inclusive mindset.
A Different Man has already made a significant impact following its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, captivating audiences with its unique storyline. The film follows Edward (played by Sebastian Stan), an aspiring actor who undergoes reconstructive surgery in a quest to become more marketable in the industry. The plot thickens as Edward becomes obsessed with an actor portraying him in a stage production, leading to an intense exploration of identity, perception, and the human condition.
