      me and you

      I watched this film in three parts on the way to work, and these three parts also happened to be the division of three emotions.

      The first part has a tight rhythm, and the monotonous life in the cramped room does not seem boring, while the escape part is the climax after the foreshadowing, which makes people nervous. Fortunately, he met enthusiastic and brave passers-by, and met a smart and keen police officer. Let the pain end. However, when they finally obtained this hard-won...

      restrained and distressed


      The stories told in the room are heartrending, stories that seem so far away are close, and are being reported in China as well. The little boy's acting skills exploded. At one time, he felt that Xiao Lizi would be in danger if he was nominated. The most important thing was that he always thought he was a girl at the beginning. At first, I thought that the film would focus on the story of the mother and son being imprisoned. The film is more about the story after that, describing what...

      Escape from "Room" is superfluous

      The film is based on the novel of the same name, and the same news of confinement sex slaves occasionally occurs. In fact, this is not a movie, it can be divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, and there are not small differences between the two parts.

      The front part is a day of confinement in a shack, and the back part is a day of confinement in the real world. The first half is a suspense-type haunted house, and the latter becomes a family ethics drama. As a...

      "The Room" - probably one of the best films of recent years

      "Room", a very realistic film, makes people unable to calm down and think deeply after watching it.

      If you asked who my favorite actress is, I would answer without hesitation, Brie Larson.

      My favorite actress, bar none!

      It's not because of her role as a mighty heroic Captain Marvel in my...

      On human dependence, on the corrosiveness of the world, on the boundaries of love. The story is excellent, and the writer's organization is also top-notch. Focus on spiritual redemption and destination after escape. On the contrary, the adult is sick, and who is to blame for the child's missing childhood? The depth and breadth are sufficient. Love the sense of ritual at the end, sometimes it does require a specific goodbye to start over. The little boy is so...

      The first half is extremely depressing, and the second half is a little procrastinated, but it is still undeniable that this is a very powerful story. If you watch it, there are several scenes that are quite tear-jerking. The acting skills of mother and son are unparalleled. I feel that Brie has half of the Oscar heroine in his...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a small-format independent film, basically a one-man show of two people and few scenes, but the unique perspective and cruel and touching story touched the hearts of many people. ( Sina Entertainment Review   )
    The film is faithfully adapted from the book, and through this seemingly limited narrative perspective, it creates a contrasting effect of "being in a desperate situation but not perceiving", and finally realizes "the...
