I hate you.

I HATE YOU!

I just discovered that all these years I've been using a stolen catchphrase. On leaving a room inhabited primary by my friends, I often say, "Later taters." I thought that I had just come up with it myself because it just sounded like a funny phrase. Only now have I realized that this whole time I had actually gotten it from Rikku's line in Kingdom Hearts, right before she, Yuna, and Paine leave Sora and co. in the Hollow Bastion castle tunnels.

My whole life is a lie.

It's about a person slowly going insane as it forgets key parts of its external identity, including gender, race, sexuality, and other things. It starts off being played by a relatively regular black man, but over the course of the movie it's sometimes portrayed by an extremely similar looking white man in some scenes. This happens in other ways too. In some scenes it's played by similar looking trans-men and trans-women, one of each for as many races as I can find good actors who look similar to original. Sometimes the actors are in colorface to look like other races. There'll be a sex scene where its partner changes its apparent sex and gender with every shot. In the last half hour the same idea from the sex scene comes back, with the protagonist changing to a different actor in different makeup (and sometimes with no makeup at all) with every new camera angle. This is taken to even greater extremes when the protagonist sometimes isn't even human, but an animal, mythological being, or even an inanimate object.

However, even while the what of the protagonist's identity is constantly in question, the who remains the same. It always likes the same kind of music and TV, for instance. At end, when its body is flashing between black/white/man/woman/trans/cis in a padded room, it's still humming the same song that was briefly heard as its ringtone near the beginning of the movie.

Good idea, yes/no?
