Existentialism is defined as a philosophical theory or approach that emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will. The question being asked in the film is "Who are you?" Do we all know exactly who we are or who we want to be? Have we found our place and purpose in life? Where do we fit in with society? Are we even trying to fit in or are we content being unique?
These are some of the questions that come to mind when I think what existentialism means to me. I think we all go through life trying to figure out who we, who we want to be, and where we want to be in life. There is a line in the very beginning of a song named Never Never Land by Lyfe Jennings that says, "there are two things in life that are constant: that's change and change". Our environment is constantly changing and us humans, just like a chameleons adapt to those changes in order to survive, but that doesn't mean that our true being changes. I think this a diverse topic as some believe to know exactly who they are and their purpose, while others are still trying to figure it out.
