There was a young man who wanted to be a director.
I was pretty good, but it wasn't easy to find money to make a movie.
Although he is very powerful, it is difficult to raise money to make movies.
Then one day, a famous filmmaker offered to finance a movie that the young man wanted to make if he changed his last name.
One day a well-known screenwriter told him that if he could change his surname, he could invest in him to make a movie.
Everything else was good, but I didn't really like the last name of the person who was from a foreign country.
Because this screenwriter thinks he is good everywhere, but he is not very satisfied with his foreigner surname.
However, the young man did not change his surname.
But the young man refused to change his surname.
The young man who later became a famous filmmaker said, "If I had changed my last name at that time, there would have been no one who really suppressed me."
Later, this young man became a well-known director, and he said: If I had changed my name at that time, no one would remember the real me.
This is the story of Elia Kazan, a Greek-born American filmmaker known for "East of Eden" and "The Debt of the Prairie."
He filmed "Eden East" and "Spring on Longshang", and the American director Ilya Kazan, who was born in Greece.

How true are you to who you really are?
Will you stay true to who you are?
If I am going to be him, who will try to be me?
If I become him, who will be me?
If try to be like him, who wi;; be like me
