Here's an old heart-opener, and as many longtime Enneagram teachers will tell you: No one plays a Type 3 better than a Type 3. A few examples from the film that might get you thinking about Type Three themes that often include overcoming an inherited family restriction through over-performing, keeping those around you from the experience of failure (yours or theirs), over-identification with models of success, and a very caring heart that opens up when it slows down to experience itself...
"Nothing I DID was good enough for this guy." Doing is how a Three gets attention and approval especially early-on from parents.
"That's a really nice suit on you..." You'll meet a charmer car-salesman who knows his own charisma power in this film, yet he is undone for The Good. The Trickster is Tricked-- that is an archetypal theme for this type. (See the shadow version of that in Nightmare Alley.)
The experience of someone you love telling you that you're a user, a charmer, aggressive and non-emotional.
The ultimate character arc here is in a doctor's words: "This isn't about winning or losing." A life-lesson for most 3s that can culminate in a lived experience of the big heart: "I made a connection... I love having you as a brother."
