When you think of writing advice for protagonists, they always say the protag should be the driver of the plot, they should know what they want and take steps to get it; a passive protagonist is a weak protagonist. This movie has a protagonist who's unsure of what he wants, who is constantly plagued by self doubt, and whose decision making process is greatly impacted by his perception of others' perceptions of him. And the movie is an absolutely fantastic examination of the character not in spite of this but because of it.
