The narrative poem that evokes the childhood in the heart has too many auras to fill the entire poster. Now it has become a popular choice for the best feature film in the awards season. In fact, looking at the main creative team behind, the director of "Frank" who was released at the 2014 Sundance Independent Film Festival, the original editor and music producer. In addition, director Tom Hopper, the gold medal photographer for a series of films "The King's Speech", "Les Miserables" and "The Danish Girl": Danny Cohen, was invited to shoot the film in a large number of closed rooms, which brought incredible Optional protection. Director: Rannard Abrahamson, following the last "Frank" adapted from the memoirs of "Killing with Eyes", this time "The Room" is also adapted from the novel of the same name. Unlike last time, this time it's all written independently by the author. The story is about the kidnapped woman and what happened to her and her son being imprisoned. The reason why the film has won a lot of praise is not only the portrayal of the kidnapping dilemma in the story, but also the reflection of the latter part of returning to reality, as well as the different perspectives of the film-the child's perspective.
In this way, tell the world in the eyes of children and use their innocent hearts to portray the complexity of society and reality. The last time I saw it was in "The Boy in Striped Pajamas", which showed war and concentration camps. And this film tells the change between the illusory and the real world from the perspective of a child. The real world is so large that it cannot be described in words. Therefore, the film adopts the form of poetry, borrowing the tone of a child, and reciting philosophical verses. A little boy grew up in a rough room of only ten square meters. The film begins with the narration on the morning of Jack's fifth birthday. Jack greets the pool, bathtub, and chairs in the room one by one as an introduction, and leads the audience to visit this special "room" in 360 degrees. Even though the mother's brows are tightened every day, such a place is already heaven for the young Jack. He loves everything here, and most importantly, his mother is always by his side. When his mother tried to tell him the truth after his birthday, he didn't accept it. He even said that he wanted to return to four years old. I believe it’s hard for everyone to remember the day when the fairy tale world in their minds shattered, and which damn person was it, which broke through the dreamland of princesses and princes, and told us that there is no magic in this world, and everything must be worked hard. Then, I will eventually go through my life independently, and my parents will not always be by my side. In the film, Jack does not have the opportunity to grow up in a normal environment, but he has to bear a more onerous task-to save his mother. Under the repeated persuasion of his mother, Jack had to pretend to be sick, pretended to be dead, rolling on the carpet, remembering the steps of parking, shouting, jumping, and asking for help in order to escape the clutches of abnormal kidnappers. With such a story, after calmly explaining the environment of the "room", the next day the mother and son began to plan to escape from the "room". This makes the first hour of the film compact and full of suspense. And Danny. Cohen's photography turned this small rough house into a fairy tale dream house from the perspective of children. In the rotating camera, graffiti works on the wall, posters of various food packaging, decorations made of egg shells, the only skylight that brings light every day, children playing with the shadows of the trees on the wall when the mother is sleeping , Everything is so wonderful. The film once again made people see that no matter poverty or plight, in the eyes of children, the world is just as beautiful. Their deepest bond is the person who accompanies them. Just like the exchange children who can't feel the difference in living conditions in "Father Like Son". In the film, when Jack begins to dismantle the toy car, it symbolizes that his childhood has begun to disintegrate. Although he is reluctant to accept, he believes in his mother in his heart, and he gradually learns to accept the truth from his mother—this The room is a virtual cage, and the outside world is real. Even though he has come into contact with all the real things in the past five years, it comes from this room, and the outside world, to him, is the magic on the TV, it is the unheard and unseen world of nothingness. When such misplaced cognition is reversed, it is very interesting and full of philosophical thinking. When the consciousness in the mind is different, the things seen in the eyes are also different. For the unknown real world, Jack has to face the bad guys alone and complete the distress plan. Although he begged, could he wait until he was six years old to do this, and finally shouted: "I hate you!" The angry words, all the anger, come from parting and fear. And when he was behind the truck, rolled out the blanket, and saw the sky no longer framed in the skylight, when he saw the real branches and leaves, even the antenna looked strangely magical and beautiful. Three shots ranging from close-up, close-up, to partial eye contact, progressively explain Jack's mood and perception. At this time, he, like IA: EVA, who walked into the forest for the first time to perceive the world, saw the reality, entered the society, and became a real individual of "human". Although Jack in the film has always been called Good Boy by his mother, he always wears long hair, like a girl, without clear gender characteristics. Until the end of the film, after he rescued his mother from the physical cage and helped his mother out of the psychological dilemma, he asked his grandmother to cut his hair and give it to the mother who was hospitalized because of depression and drugged. Pass on your strength to your mother. After the haircut, he had a neighbor friend who played football together, and finally his own puppy, integrated into the family, ushered in the return of his mother, and became a real "little boy".

The sentence grandma said: "No one can be strong alone, it is each of us that makes each other stronger." This is a very important sentence in the film. Although Jack may not understand, his way is just to tell his mother, don't do it a second time, it's fine. In the world of children, for parents, as long as they return and do not abandon themselves, there will be no unforgivable sins, which is touching. In Jack's film, there are at least four to six monologue poems, about two in the cramped and crowded "room", two in the hospital, and two in the new home. My favorite passage is when Jack started to know the world after he got acquainted with his grandmother’s house: “In this world, there are countless doors, behind the doors there are countless rooms, and things happen one after another. People are always busy, but no one knows where heaven is.". In the film, Jack's worldview is transferred, from fairy tales to reality, but the five-year-old's mind is simple and beautiful. His mother was just the opposite. She was already an adult. Of course, she knew clearly that she was a victim of abduction, a victim imprisoned in a room and isolated from the world. However, during the five years she spent with Jack, she was a great mother, who worked hard and couldn't bear to cruelly break Jack's beautiful childhood and fantasies. But since leaving the room and returning to her biological parents, she has degenerated into the 17-year-old paranoid girl. Her father's unacceptance of Jack made her angry, and her mother's excessive care and participation also made her anxious. She couldn't help complaining about what her mother said to herself seven years ago, so maybe she wouldn't follow the hypocritical liar to see some puppies. She must re-experience the process of becoming a mother from a 17-year-old adolescent girl in the package of family and society. She is always worried that Jack does not like toys, only watching cartoons, and has no contact with the society and the world. However, she has no contact with herself. The friends and classmates back then are no longer there. She has not finished her studies and has no job. That is the object that worries you the most. After bringing this real world to Jack, what she needs is to re-experience and grow with Jack. The film ended perfectly, at Jack's request that he wanted to return to the "room" to visit. Mother reluctantly returned to the small wooden house in this simple backyard. Jack asked if our Room had been robbed, because all the furniture he was familiar with was gone, only a few items were left lying on the wall in a mess. On the ground. Like in the beginning of the movie, saying good morning to every piece of furniture and objects, Jack says goodbye to every remaining object. Finally, he said to his mother: "Mom, say goodbye to the room." The mother also whispered farewell to his lips. In Jack's eyes, although it is dross, it is also his happiest childhood. There are vague TVs, toilet cisterns for navigating paper warships, and his mother is always by his side.
The film is moving countless times because of the true emotions. What is uncomfortable is the subversion of the fairy tale world, emptiness and reality, which is more suitable for us, complicated family and social relations, everyone will be hurt inadvertently, and will accidentally hurt the people around them. And the heart of innocence is always the power to protect us. If you lose it, you will struggle to find your way home, and if you go wrong, you will avoid the next mistake. The film's recovery of the illusory and real world concepts has revealed many problems in the real society. It is no wonder that it can be a win-win situation in the reputation of critics and audiences. At the Toronto Film Festival, when I first saw this film, I only heard that the word-of-mouth was very good. I did not anticipate the result of the awards and the future direction. It was considered without any prejudice. I felt the beautiful lens of the film and accepted it. The baptism of children's hearts, and the plight of thought-provoking characters in the family and society. Each of us, as people who also live in this world, in a small room in society, really needs more contact with the outside world, whether it is people, things, or pets, because no one can be strong alone.
