Hey blog,
Let's talk about Jack,
When Martina was filming another media project, she was paired with Jack Sussman.
Now, I knew him from before, and I had asked him to be in a project of mine, yet I was very hesitant on having theater actors in my films. Jack does musical theater.
I thought his potrayal of my character would be too dramatized, and he would not know how to adapt to the closeness of camera acting, the nuances in acting.
However, I was convinced after watching him act in Martina's project that he was perfect for the role.
Jack is conventionally attractive, as one would say, which I was not planning on having Diego be. However, after thought, I realized it was perfect. Once again, we are juxtaposing everything in this film. A lot of incels I see online, are not ugly, they are just extremely misogynistic, socially awkward, and especially delusional.
The truth is, once you leave adolescence, looks have a much smaller impact on one's ability to find love. Sure, a one night stand is one thing, but a relationship goes much beyond that, it extends to a point where looks have almost no play.
So to have a conventionally attractive actor, play an extremely awkward incel is perfect. Someone so unkept and so disconnected from others and himself, that he thinks his problems stem from his looks.
