It is worth mentioning that Sebastian Stan's career has become more and more perfect from Marvel's "Winter Soldier" to the Berlin Film Festival actor! When he took the stage to lift the trophy, he said excitedly: "I am very grateful and deeply honored." This is my first time participating in a European Film Festival. For a young boy from Romania, this means a lot to me. ”

The Chinese title of the movie "Different Men", also translated as "Different Men", is a psychological thriller created by A24. Aaron Schmmiberg ("The Bondage of Life") directed and wrote the screenplay, starring Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsev, Adam Pearson and others. In the film, Sebastian Stan plays a disfigured man who, after a series of facial reconstructive surgeries, has a new face.

After winning the award, Sebastian Stan also said that "Different Men" is about acceptance, identity and self-truth, but also about the long-neglected topic of appearance defects and physical defects.

Finally, congratulations to Sebastian Stan again, and I hope he will be able to create more and better movie characters in the future!
