watched the movie "Room", I remembered the words of the female writer Alice Monroe: "The flashbacks of escaping again and again are so unpredictable and unpredictable. Maybe you They have been quietly reversed, maybe you have forgotten them lightly." In the film, Joey was imprisoned and insulted. Fortunately, it was the birth of his son Jack. Even if the source of his son hurt her, Jack was 5 years old. Before, for the small room where they were detained, Joey's flash of escape may have been quietly reversed, or perhaps forgotten temporarily, but as a mother's nature, that flash of flash burned again, and it burned more and more until Thrilling reached.
Brie Larson, who plays Joey, performed amazingly in this part. Recalling the feelings of listening to her youthful and sunny pop music, there will be a kind of intricate sense of precision. "So", the audience already has a taste of Brie’s performance talent, but it can still be seen that Brie, who was born in 1989, has devoted a lot of effort to Joey, a character who has encountered extraordinary and is not easy to interpret. Let the territory of performance cross the barriers of one's own life, such as every time I look at my son, every preparation and effort made for self-saving, every worry and entanglement and unconscious licking affection are all presented. Worry, worry and exciting.
The film’s director Lenny Abrahamson seems to be good at dealing with extreme stories of special characters in claustrophobia or confinement. His last work, "Frank," with a weird style, gave the audience a lot of shock. This time, he put Emma Donald's novel of the same name on the screen, which also drew the audience's shock. Of course, most good audiences were also moved by the story itself.
The first half of the film is detailed, depressing and compact. The daily life in the secret room and the brewing of escape make the narrative full of tension. The second half of the narrative sometimes feels incompetent and loses its proper rationality. Brie Larson, who has always performed well, also has one or two emotional problems in the second half of the film. However, the young actor Jacob Tremblay, who plays Jack, has always been great, especially when he is Jack. Escape from the small room, see the outside world on a large scale for the first time, look up at the blue sky and white clouds in the dizzy and blurred natural state. Jacob Tremblay interprets this part with expressiveness and sense of substitution, especially the look in his eyes. The gradual perception is like experiencing a storm of the senses in the depths of the brain cells. It is amazing. After seeing it, I really want to apply for a nomination for a actor for this Canadian kid.
Finally, Jack, who has long hair like a little girl and thinks that his long hair is as powerful as Samson in the Bible, asks his grandmother to cut his hair to help his mother in need. This scene happened. In the corner of the house, its meaning is like an important ceremony. It indicates that Jack and his mother will bravely bid farewell to the dark and tragic past and usher in a new life.
