This study examines the 2014 movie "Who Am I," concentrating on Benjamin, the lead character, and his experiences growing up in the hacking community. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to examine the meticulously gathered data. The research intends to answer two main questions: how Benjamin manipulates others using the Truth Default Theory and how Benjamin's moral development affects his choices to assist his friends avoid trouble. The research demonstrates how Benjamin's use of psychological manipulation, deceit, and technological expertise advances the plot and fosters character relationships and tension throughout the movie. The research also looks at Benjamin's moral development, showing how his shifting ethical position influences his choices and behaviors, which in turn affects the eventual outcome. Further research may examine the ethical progression and consequences of employing psychological manipulation for both advantageous and disadvantageous purposes.
