You make me sick and make me admire

you disgust me.

This sentence is what Johnny's friend said to Lisa in the film, and it expresses my feelings about this character very well. That's right, I watched the plot of this movie very seriously, and I took it into it incredibly. I followed Johnny on a heartbreaking journey-even though the sections of "Oh Hi Mark", "Huh huh what a story", "Cheep cheep cheep..." "You're tearing me apart" still made me laugh wildly while going upside down Countless times.
The story is actually very simple. Johnny, a five-good young man who does not smoke or drink, is about to enter the marriage hall with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend fell in love with Johnny's best friend because of the seven-year itch. The underground relationship was finally exposed and couldn't bear it. Johnny, who had betrayed by relatives and friends, ended the endless suffering by suicide. The general context is very clear, the development of the plot, and the climax of the final birthday party are all quite satisfactory. If I can really let go of the psychological expectations of the cult movie to watch the movie, it will be able to more or less substitute for the emotions of the character. For example, the heroine successfully aroused my disgust, maybe because of the derailment itself, maybe because The heroine's unpleasant appearance may be due to her self-righteousness and courage in the film, or the few rubbish words she goes back and forth. "I don't love him anymore" "I love Mark now" "I don't care so much". Although these broken sentences constitute 70% of the lines of the heroine, they are also very life-like and empathize with other people. Isn't this the content that repeats in my head all day long? Compared with other movies and televisions that also describe derailment, "The Room" in this regard is at most lost in the lines that are too crude. Somehow, people understand the gold and jade, and the straightforward behavior like Wei Su directly defeats the show. It is really rare.
So where is this movie so bad? In two sentences, it is hardly a movie, but it is indeed a movie.
It's not a movie—the main plot is just a little bit of content, and a short story (there is no contempt for the story here) is long enough to explain everything clearly. The rest are all incomprehensible stacks, inexplicable going out to play rugby, inexplicable running exercises, inexplicable armed robbery, although the Chinese teacher taught us background descriptions, side descriptions can contrast the character of the characters, but I have never seen side descriptions. When the subject's gameplay. Repeated scenes, repeated tasks, repeated lines, and even bed scenes are also reused, which directly leads to the deviation of the focus of watching the movie. Since the plot is nothing to see, don't watch the plot at all.
It is indeed a movie-but apart from the plot, it is still not possible to watch other aspects of the movie. Acting? Wei Su's transcendent performance, James Franco, can only imitate a fur; the scene? It’s no longer possible to comment on the operation of the rooftop green screen; see photography? Watch the clip? In the end, I found that I couldn’t see anything, I could only see Wei Su half-opening his eyes to you huh huh huh...
It’s no wonder that Wei Su, who has no film professional education background and no experience in the industry, wants to be a studio Kubu. Rick’s people come from writing, directing, and acting. It is inevitable that there is no good result. As for reaching a realm badly, it must be closely related to his own uniqueness.
Tommy Wessell is really a very mysterious existence. As the ending of "Disaster Artist" said, I don't know where he comes from, how old he is, and where he comes from so much money. And more importantly, you have no way to figure out the purpose of his various scenes and plot settings in this film. The reason why "Room" is illogical to us is because Wei Su himself is completely different from ours. Logical system. It is also difficult for James Franco to truly restore Wei Su's thinking world in "Disaster Artist"-probably if he did so, his movie might be as different as "The Room".
In this unknown mystery, I could not help but give birth to some respect. If his 6 million is really derived from personal labor income, it is really worthwhile for many people, including me, to study-look at others and create bad works. It also requires cost and sincerity. Pay attention to Wei Su again. First of all, the male second Greg is worthy of recognition in his looks and body. Wei Su probably also knows that his face is unattractive (although he may be very satisfied), so he has put a lot of effort on his body. There are very good muscles in the film (although most of the time there is no beauty), these are all worthy of recognition. As for his long black shawl hair and unique sunglasses, it can be regarded as a successful case of personal symbolic propaganda. Isn't glasses and long hair enough to impress you? Take the glasses down a little and look at the half-dangling eyes. You can't forget this time, right?
The appearance of "Room" can be regarded as creating the possibility for fans to participate in the film. As some commentators have said, "The Room without fans is incomplete". Maybe there is a chance that you and I will throw spoons together with other audiences in a theater, repeating those classic lines. Only then will we be able to truly see its full picture and feel the most terrible charm and style of film history. .

    In a drowsy state, I actually insisted on watching it like this It was discovered that it was a suspense film. Doubtful, the hero died before being answered. What kind of film is this? In the end, I finally understood that this is an English listening.

    It’s been a long time since I watched a movie so seriously, and it’s been a long time since I practiced English listening so seriously! Spent a fulfilling and meaningful afternoon!
