The high school kid who can't get laid so he hires a hooker? The guy the hookers manipulate? The guy who becomes a bitch to their pimp and has to beg to get his parents' stolen property back? The guy who is raking leaves for his parents in the final scene?

Beta as fuck.

Look, phony media images of manhood are NOT the sort of thing you need in your head. Quite the opposite. These are the media-concocted false images that are fucking up your own natural manliness.

These guys are ACTORS, they are ACTING. They are doing things they can't naturally do. I'll give you an example. I just happen to be friends with James Dean's agent. He told me stories about how the young Dean came to Hollywood and was too much a pussy to get manly acting roles. So he took lots of method acting classes. One of the most successful exercises he used was to perfect his "manly swagger" by putting gravel in his shorts. That way he'd be walking around with his legs open so he wouldn't be crunching his balls with sharp rocks.

Does this sound like the model of manliness you want to emulate?

I told you I worked in Hollywood, you must not have caught that. I was a script doctor, you've watched movies I've fixed, I know far more about characters than you do.

Do you know what a character is? It is something a screenwriter typed on a page, with timing (30 seconds per page, plus stage directions) and shot by shot breakdowns. The director chooses an actor who will best fit the visual and performing characteristics of the role. Then wardrobe dresses him in custom made clothes that look like off the rack stuff, except they fit perfectly. Makeup artists ensure not a single hair is out of place, and that he looks perfectly natural (even though he's completely made up). He gets plopped down in the middle of a set that is carefully constructed in every nuance by a set dresser, and every detail enhances his performance. Then the lighting crew makes him look his best. Then the cinematographer points his camera at him, incorporating all those details. The actor says his lines. Then the editor cuts the film of his performance into a sequence, making a compressed narrative that draws the audience through a story in the most compelling possible way.

Now when you can bring ANY of that into your own life, you can emulate these "characters." But alas, life is not like the movies. Far too many people have tried to emulate their movie idols. It is foolish.
