"The Room" (The Room) was a few in Los Angeles in 2003 It was shown on theaters, and there were no audiences unexpectedly. But this film is really bad, it's so bad that it's so terrifying, it's turned into a legend, it's so bad, it's so bad, it's a group of diehard fans. Nowadays, the director Dimi Ge brings this movie "National Tour" every year, which is so terrible to his grandmother's house. Wherever he goes, movie fans gather in groups.
In fact, there is only one sentence in the plot. The male protagonist Jonnie collapsed and committed suicide when he found out that his girlfriend Lisa and his best friend Mark had sex... However, such a clichéd plot was broken by the director in a limited time of 90 minutes. A sense of beauty...

1/1 Lines
Our wretched god takes great pains in his lines. Almost all the dialogues of the hero in the movie start with "Oh, hi!" and end with "That's the idea". Whenever the men in the film see the heroine, they will praise her beauty with "You look so beautiful". Other characters, appearances and exits are also accompanied by the standard "Hi" and "Goodbye" like primary school English tapes. Feel free to post a conversation for everyone:
Lisa: Hi, mum, how are you?
Mum: I'm fine. How are you? Hmmm? Okey, let's go to the couch, and we will sit down. Now, what's happening with you? Hmmm?
The hostess mother said, "Okay, let's go to the sofa! Then let's sit down!" Such nonsense is like when your mother called you to eat, you mumbled "Okay, I'm going to the table." "Well, I'm going to pick up the chopsticks" "I'm going to take a bite", this is clearly mentally retarded! Please, it's the 21st century, and the mentally retarded don't talk like that, okay!
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, the whole film is filled with too many inexplicable dialogues!
The male protagonist and his good friend Mark were still talking about their work for one second, and the next second they said amazingly "Anyway, how is your sex life?" (also one of the most classic lines in this film)
buying flowers inexplicably scenario, the owner has just finished express themselves did not recognize the actor Jonnie, he blurted out, "You are my favorite customer."
whole movie dialogue is so no nutrition, somehow, seemingly full of routine but no clear pattern from time to time You are so shocked.
2/2 Acting
as a bad movie at the Cthulhu level, the "contributions" of the actors are naturally inevitable.
Our lead actor, the big star Mr. Mi Yusao, always maintains a facial paralyzed smile throughout the film, and from time to time there is a devilish laughter "clam" with no emotion, and the lines are like just running out of a lunatic asylum. Of patients. At 46 minutes of the film, an abrupt roar "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!" turned out to be the pinnacle of Ge Mi Mi's acting.
However, the level of the actors reading the lines has inherited the essence of the lines, which makes most of the dialogue in the film resemble junior high school English listening. Among them, the pronunciation and speaking speed of the heroine's mother are simply textbook-like recordings of listening tests.
Since I talked about my mother, I have to talk about this magical character. This logically seems to be the only normal person in the film. It seems to be an official Tucao character set by the director. From time to time, he mocks the strange setting in the film. . The protagonist's house is open to all kinds of abnormal humans all day long. The heroine never locks the door, and the inexplicable character Danny, all of which can't escape the old lady's poisonous tongue.
However, even such an old lady who is extremely normal in addition to the pronunciation and intonation of English listening can shock the world with a single word. In the conversation with the heroine Lisa, the old lady said "I have breast cancer" in an extremely plain tone, with her tone and demeanor as if she was saying "I just went to the toilet." What’s more mystery is that the hostess did not respond to her mother’s experience at all, as if her mother really just went to the toilet... and the whole film never mentioned breast cancer, nor did it again. If you have any explanation, everything is so peaceful and serene.... 3/3
Technology
Peerless and bad film Of course, the shooting technique and technology that can't bear to look directly at it is indispensable.
A series of San Francisco street scenes in the opening movie, seemingly very old-fashioned and amateur movie techniques, can probably be regarded as one of the best shots in the whole film.
Within a few minutes after the end of the street scene, I directly entered the sex scene of the male and female protagonists, which made people doubt the type of film. The director full of girlish heart made every sex scene into a MV, and along with the popular golden songs and fantastic editing of the 80s, it became a lively MV version of a love action movie. What's even more confusing is that this kind of "love action MV" that lasts for a few minutes has appeared no less than five times in the film (seems like there are two shots that are the same to save costs?)... ....
If these can be tolerated, then the next set of rooftops is really bad and contrived.
Attention! The rooftop background behind Mark is a post-production special effect made by Duang using "green screen" technology! That's right, the green screen of Jun Mi Jun's house is used on a rooftop background with five-cent special effects!
Oh my! You really can't even find a rooftop that can be used for shooting? !
Or is it just for the pursuit of artistic effects...?
Four / 4 story
said earlier, the story is this: the male jonnie discovery girlfriend Lisa and his best friend Mark lovemaking session suicide collapse ...
Nima, finish this sentence do you shoot enough 90 minutes? !
Of course not only that, as an industry leader, we can work hard on the sideline plot.
Let's talk about the mysterious character Danny first. At the beginning of the film, when the protagonist and heroine were playing in the living room, a mysterious adolescent Danny suddenly broke into the house and talked happily with the two. When the two of them are very affectionate and turn to the stairs to "get into the topic", Danny's expression seems to tell us that things are far from that simple...
Of course it is not that simple... The two protagonists are in the bedroom. During the foreplay of Pillow Fight, Danny...inside! Together... joined... honey juice... Pillow Fight? !
So this kind of dialogue broke out:
Jonnie: Danny, do you have something else to do?
Danny: I just like to watch you guys.
Exo me? ! Danny, where are you sacred to say such moving words...
And facing Danny’s God’s reply, Jonnie also responded with "Two is great, but three is crowd." People think about life.
After everyone watched most of the movie with the question of "Who is Danny", Lisa finally told the truth under the questioning of his mother (who deserves to be an official NPC). "Jonnie wants to adopt Danny... The orphan is so pitiful... Do you know how pitiful Jonnie was when he discovered 18-year-old Danny?..."
Wait! Danny, who was 18 years old...? Are you sure you want to "adopt" a 20-something "child"?
It was this inexplicable Danny who suddenly took drugs inexplicably in the following plot. Equally inexplicable, there are two passers-by who came to Jonnie's house to have sex, and a group of men in suits playing rugby together. Yes, it's so capricious. When all the male characters gathered in Jonnie's house in suits, and when the audience was wondering what kind of solemn and formal ceremony would be in the next scene, several big men happily played rugby...
Um? How about Danny, who you asked me to take drugs?
It’s too naive..... Do you think our Mi Mi brother will tell you? !
All these plots of the stream of consciousness, along with the mother's "breast cancer", were drowned in the laughter of Jonnie's "clams" that saw through everything, and were never mentioned again.
So, when Jonnie fell in a pool of blood at the end, accompanied by the helpless cry of his fiancée and the sound of sirens from outside the house, I recalled the whole movie of rugby flying around and the conflict between sex and desire that occurred anytime and anywhere. Send out the same thinking as the male protagonist:
Blame it! I laughed miserably...
5/5 Ironic Audience
is such a terrible film, but it has a very loyal fan. As mentioned at the beginning, Jubi youths gathered together and crazily worshipped this epic "bad movie", the enthusiastic fans who were not inferior to the blockbuster movie.
So the question is, how can such an anti-human, anti-social, anti-aesthetic, and even "anti-movie" film be sought after by so many people? Is it simply because everyone's idleness hurts?
In addition to the old Chinese saying "things must be reversed", we can also use the concept of Cult film to explain.
Cult film (Cult film/Cult Movie) refers to a movie that is loved and admired by supporters in a small circle. It refers to the unique shooting technique, strange subject matter, slanted swordsmanship, abnormal style, strong personal opinions, and wealth. Controversial, usually low-cost production, not market-oriented films. In short, it is a film that belongs to a non-mainstream field but can be popular among certain young people. These films generally experienced a bleak box office at the beginning of the screenings, but they were surprisingly discovered and sought after by niche groups a few years later, and gradually formed their own cultural circles.
"Rocky Horror Show" is often regarded as the "ancestor" of Cult movies
Cult's original meaning is "cult". From a literal point of view, a group of curious young people who support all kinds of black, exaggerated, violent, and stream-of-conscious non-mainstream movies are indeed like a cult. These non-mainstream works are difficult to attract the attention of mainstream society and professional film critics, but gradually formed their own cultural symbols in the fan community, just like a group of cynical rock youths shouting at the social elites in suits and shoes: " Fuck you, we have our own taste!"
So, we can see a group of young people in costumes (the costumes of the protagonists in the movie) in the screening room of The Room, frolicking and laughing in front of the screen. So, unscrupulously blended into the "evil taste" of the movie. They throw spoons frantically on the big screen (the small furnishings and artworks of Jonnie's house in the film are all spoon-themed, and every time the audience finds this egg on the screen, they will throw the prepared spoon on the same; of course; This is not absolute, some people will throw a few handles when they are bored), shouting "cancer" to remind her of the existence of cancer when her mother is on the stage; every time the male protagonist greets her with "Oh hi!" Also intoxicated with a "Oh hi!" back to the past. When I see boredom, there will be a few rugby balls flying in the dim theater at any time, and there are even friends who are familiar with the artistic spirit of directors humming the theme song of Mission Impossible that has nothing to do with the film...
not only that , Jubi youths are also active on social networks. In the competition between The Room and other "mainstream bad movies", they do not hesitate to interpret their doctrines with praise, and build a cultural empire of their own.. ...
The same underwear is only sold for 19 yuan and 99 dollars! ! !
Speaking of this, people can't help but doubt life.
Lost in this legendary bad movie, you may unconsciously think:
What is the criterion for a good movie and a bad movie?
Isn't the standard for "good movies" also artificially "designated"?
Could it be that the art we admire for so many years is a value symbol that has been instilled in you by the upper class and capitalism for a long time?
In other words, objectively speaking, "bad" and "good" are just relative concepts and have no practical meaning?
You see, over a hundred years ago, wasn't it difficult for Van Gogh's works to enter the mainstream society's eyes?
Thinking of this, I seemed to hear the devilish laughter again.
That "clam" seemed to laugh at me:
"Too serious, you will lose!"
Anyway, how is your sex life?
