There’s that scene in the movie where the main character stares intently into a mirror, usually one in some dingy gas station bathroom with a pair of scissors or razor in their hand and complete resolution on their face. There may be hints of fear or denial, anger or resentment, but this is happening and it’s happening right now.
This is the moment when everything changes.
It’s less about transformation than it is shedding your skin. It’s not about trying to be someone else. There’s acknowledgement of the past, but only as reference point to now.
