How Netflix's "Hit Man" Explores Appearance, Identity, and Self-Discovery

Have you ever watched a movie and felt like it was speaking directly to you? That's how I felt watching Netflix's "Hit Man." This movie dives deep into how our looks and roles shape who we are inside.

The film tells the story of Gary Johnson, a regular guy who transforms into a charismatic (fake) hitman. This got me thinking about how much our appearance influences how we see ourselves and how others see us.

How much of our identity is tied to how we look and act?

Gary starts as a quiet, everyday professor. He's content with his life, but when he becomes an undercover hitman, everything changes. His new looks make him feel and act differently. He starts to discover sides of himself he never knew existed.

What we wear and how we present ourselves can have a huge impact on our lives. It's not just about looking good for others. It's about feeling good about ourselves.

When Gary changes his appearance, he taps into a new level of confidence and strength. He chooses who he wants to become to maximize the result. He made over 70 arrests during his undercover stings.

The Transformation of Gary Johnson

  1. Boosting Confidence: When Gary dons his hitman persona, he displays confidence. The various wardrobes make him feel powerful and in control. This newfound confidence allows him to tackle challenges he previously would have avoided.
  2. Unlocking Hidden Talents: Gary's transformation shows how changing your appearance can help you discover new aspects of your personality. The hitman persona brings out a more assertive, decisive side of Gary, demonstrating that a change in appearance can bring out hidden strengths.
  3. Influencing Behavior: As Gary's appearance changes, so does his behavior. He becomes more convinced and takes on challenges with new courage. This illustrates that when you feel good about how you look, you're more likely to take bold actions and step out of your comfort zone.
  4. Upgrading Communication: Gary’s new look sends powerful non-verbal signals. His confident posture and stylized attire communicate authority and competence without saying a word. This shows how non-verbal communication can shape others' perceptions.
  5. Elevating First Impressions: When Gary meets new people as a hitman, they respond to his appearance first. His look creates a strong first impression, affecting how others treat him. This emphasizes the importance of making a positive first impression through appearance.

Changing how we look on the outside can help us find new parts of ourselves on the inside.

How Image Consulting Helps in Real-Life

Imagine waking up every day and feeling great about how you look. Imagine that confidence spilling over into every part of your life—at work, with friends, and in any situation. That's the power of image consulting.

  1. Looking Best: Find an image that suits your personality and lifestyle. Discover the wardrobe and looks that make you feel confident and authentic. Use your appearance to make a strong first impression.
  2. Boosting Confidence: When you feel good about how you look, it positively affects every area of your life, from personal relationships to professional opportunities. Communicate confidence and competence.
  3. Achieving Goals: Whether you're aiming for a promotion, looking to improve your social life, or simply wanting to feel better about yourself, set and achieve your goals by aligning your appearance with your aspirations.

"Hit Man" on Netflix offers a fascinating look at how our appearance affects our self-discovery.

Gary Johnson’s story explores the conflict between our roles and reality and the search for authenticity. "Hit Man" reflects how appearance changes can unlock hidden parts of us. Our roles and inner desires ultimately shape who we are.

If Gary Johnson can transform so dramatically in "Hit Man," imagine what a few changes could do for you. You don’t have to become a (fake) hitman, but you can find new strengths and confidence. It’s about more than clothes and hairstyles. It’s about discovering the real you.

Take the first step toward becoming your best self. Embrace the journey of self-discovery, and let your appearance reflect the amazing person you are inside.

You deserve to feel confident and empowered every day.
