The setting of "The Room" is simple and cruel: the girl Joey was abducted by a man named "Old Nick" at the age of 17, and was imprisoned in a shed in her backyard for seven years, during which she was born. Next son Jack. His mother did his best to weave a fairy tale world for Jack, making him believe that this "room" is the only real world, and even the daily necessities provided by Old Nick were conjured by magic. After Jack had his fifth birthday without candlelight, his mother decided to tell him the truth, but for Jack, he did not realize that there was another world outside the "room". When the mother told him this, the son answered It’s “impossible”, even saying that she is a “liar”; when she told her son of her tragic experience of being abducted, the son thought it was boring than the fictional story on TV; when she reluctantly convinced him that there was a bigger one outside When the world asked him, who was already 5 years old, to help her change the status quo, his son said that he wanted to be 4 years old! The film begins with the narrative on the morning when Jack wakes up on his fifth birthday. It starts with Jack saying hello to the pool, bathtub, and chairs in the room one by one, leading the audience to examine this special "room" from the perspective of the child. In this limited space, his mother took him to do stretching exercises; when his mother was asleep, he sprinkled crumbs to attract gluttonous mice. He also imagined that a puppy named Lucky would often come to visit him. Through some planning and repeated "body stiffness" exercises, my mother finally convinced "Old Nick" that Jack had died of illness and had to move Jack's "corpse" outside and tried to transport it out by truck. With hard work, Jack finally left the room that had imprisoned him for five years. With the assistance of the police, his mother was also rescued from the cabin. But escaping from the "room" did not actually take up a large part of the movie, so we saw the second half of the movie: neighbors and reporters peeping at the fate of the mother and son, grandpa’s disapproval of Jack, and Jack’s confusion about the new world. At the age of 17, my mother recalled the lush years of being with her good sisters in the cheerleading team when she was 17, and her mother tried to commit suicide after being interviewed on TV.
