THE ROOM was released in 1 theater on June, 27th, 2003.
Tommy paid to keep it in there for 2 weeks in an effort to qualify for the academy awards.
"The Room", which has a high reputation in the bad film industry, has finally been photographed by Hollywood filmmakers and adapted into an inspirational masterpiece, giving more people the opportunity to learn more about Tommy Wiseau and this "masterpiece of the world".
American movie "The Disaster Artist" (disaster artist)
Genre: Biography, Comedy
Main cast: James Franco (as Tommy), Dave Franco (as Greg)
Story Overview: Telling the before-and-after making of the epic (and not flattering) 'The Room'
Release Date: December 8, 2017 in the United States
This is a fairly high-reduction film. From character dress to lines polishing; from background design to music connection. Many details have been restored one by one, which is not simple or easy.
Not much chat, go directly to the review. It is mainly divided into two parts, one is "external" and the other is "core".
External - talk about the merits of the film
Advantage 1, excellent performance
Franco's performance in this work is almost explosive. With long hair and a shawl, he is transformed into a mysterious man Tommy, with a weird Eastern European accent, a simple behavior pattern, and a strange way of thinking. OMG, Franco, you are Tommy Wiseau himself, actor-level acting.
Advantage 2, high reduction degree
Scene, Costume, Dialogue, Demeanor
Scene: From the construction of the studio for shooting "The Room", to the interior design and furnishings, and even the color of the walls is exactly the same!
Clothing: Not to mention the dress, the key bursts are all the same, this is pretty awesome.
Dialogue: Classic lines + funny quotes, make every audience laugh.
Behaviour: Perfectly reproduce the wonderful sex scene, you can't accept it.
Advantage 3, detailing the ins and outs of Tommy's creation and shooting of "The Room"
① have money, have a lot of money, enough to allow yourself to live the life you want
② I love the film and television industry, not just talking about it, but putting it into action - participating in actor selection, improvisation, investing money to invite professionals to make movies together
③ Hard work and perseverance. Take the time to shoot the works you want (no matter how tired or hard it is), ignore the ridicule of others, insist on yourself (neither ridicule nor understanding can become a stumbling block to stop progress), and invite people to watch it (one-hearted obsession) .
Kernel - Discuss "Want", "Can Do" and "Persistence"
1. Know what you want!
Maybe many people live their whole lives without knowing what they want? Prosperity? Is it easy to enjoy? Is it a matter of life? Is it murky? How many people can clearly say what they want? So little!
After watching this work, after seeing Tommy's crazy actions, the author's heart is awakened, the self who was once hesitating about the pressure of life and the complexity of the world has disappeared, and now I am like a teenage boy In that way, it is clear that "what you want"!
2. Know what you can do!
Tommy has money so he can do whatever he wants. But "want to do" does not mean "can do", because of the limitations of ability or the limitations of reality. To give a simple example, the job is not going well and you want to change jobs, so what kind of job do you look for? Is it a lot of money? Or live easily? No matter which category, you have to measure it according to your own ability. As the saying goes: Do what you can do, you won't be confused when you succeed; if you don't do what you can, you won't know what to do.
3. Stick to your goals!
People are always easy to give up. No matter how determined they are at first, as long as there are difficulties, they will back down. This is a common problem and a weakness of human beings. Everyone is the same. Especially now, in the era of rapid consumption, money comes and goes faster. Everyone wants to make money quickly, and gradually ignores the meaning of "persistence". Remember, Chairman Mao once said: "Persistence for a few years will surely bring benefits." The meaning of this sentence is quite deep. He bluntly stated the attitude that everyone should have in doing things, such as insisting on swimming in winter, which is good for health; insisting on listening to English radio, and foreign languages making rapid progress; insisting on doing business with integrity, and business is getting better and better.
"Persistence" is by no means a whim, but perseverance. Although many people like to talk about "persistence", it's easier said than done, just like Tommy's experience (giving a lot, getting little, being laughed at, being cold...), but He came over with perseverance and was finally recognized, which was not easy, and deserved a standing ovation from every audience.
Looking back and taking a look at ourselves, can we incorporate the word "persistence" into our own life and work? Start from the smallest things, insist on loving your wife (/sir), insist on walking on the right path, and insist on being yourself (not being swayed by the world), let us learn to "persist" step by step, and benefit from it.
After watching "The Disaster Artist", I thought of "The Room", talked about "The Room", and praised Tommy Wiseau. After talking eloquently, seeing that it was getting late, I hurriedly put the pen down. See you next time.
Director★★★★☆ (Franco directed and acted by himself, seductive enough and seductive enough)
Actor ★★★★☆ (James's Tommy is too emotional, Dave is relatively weak, but basically qualified)
Plot ★★★★★ (The original production of "The Room" has a very high degree of reduction, almost impeccable)
Visual effects ★★★★★ (scene layout, picture integration, lens language, perfect presentation)
Sound effects ★★★☆☆ (soundtrack is average, after all, the picture is too awesome)
Recommendation ★★★★★ (too inspirational, too funny, too expressive, you can't watch it)
