10/10 is so good to see that there is no wood, the audience is full of people + constant applause. This is an all-night carnival for "The Room" fans, and it is also a love letter to fans of the original. A masterpiece that will make you laugh crazy but also move you to tears.
The film mentions James Dean many times. For this reason, Greg and Tommy eagerly drove to the location of his car accident that caused a touching conversation. When Hollywood turned the two away, James Dean's story has also become the biggest motivation for them to choose to fight for themselves to make a movie. The film chose a more restrained way to restore the filming process of the worst film in history. Fu Lanlan did not mock Tommy in an absurd way or sugercoating Tommy's excessive words and deeds on the set. What is surprising is that the end of the movie is placed in the premiere of "The Room", making the audience feel like they are in the 2003 theater. As the classic clips appear on the screen, the audience laughs inside and outside the movie. Constantly, quite a feeling of breaking the fourth wall.
The acting skills of Hulanlan and Dai Lanlan in the film can be described as stunning. At the end of the premiere, Tommy, who was frustrated, heard the tsunami-like laughter and applause erupting in the theater, and the gratified smile on his face couldn't help. It made my nose sore, and finally Tommy stepped up to the stage and said, "Without my best friend Greg, this movie could not be completed." The gratification and touch on Greg's face also deeply moved me. .
The film’s friendship between Greg and Tommy took a lot of time to shape, and the chemical reaction between the two was very good. From the intimacy at the beginning to the break, the relationship between the two changed without abrupt. The two scenes in the film where the two played football to each other echoed before and after, which became the crowning touch of this relationship.
Of course, the film has not forgotten the supporting roles in the original work. The most brilliant is the actor who plays Lisa's mother. A dialogue between her and Greg in the film also expresses the voice of many Hollywood actors.
Just like the tradition of all real-life adaptations of movies, the film adds the authenticity comparison of the original classic sections in the last five minutes and the real footage of Tommy and Greg himself attending the event, which is the best finishing touch for the film.
After the film was over, I chatted with a film critic who came to watch the screening. He said that if Hulan Lan was nominated, he would not be surprised. I hope Hulan Lan can win more with this film after the Gotham Independence Award.
Never stop dreaming

As a die-hard "Room" fan who has been looking forward to this movie for many years, please allow me to write some lace about the movie first, and then add the rest of the film reviews after watching the film on the 6th. Tommy Wesul: Director/screenwriter/investor/starring of the cult movie "The Room", President of Wessell Pictures, Hollywood's most mysterious man, over the past 15 years with magical laughter, unique accent, and His performance conquered a crowd of cult fans. He is silent about his age and place of birth. In the past few years, with the "Room" fire and the viral Amway of "Room" fans, he has gradually entered the mainstream audience's attention. Recently, he appeared on the Kimmel show with Hulanlan.
The urban legend about Tommy Wesul: He was originally from Poland, and later immigrated to France. In France, he sold bird toys for a living. The locals called them "bird people". After immigrating to the United States, they changed their surname to "Wess" (taken from The homonym of "bird" in French) has huge wealth and a large number of industries (known as jeans wholesale companies, luxury houses, Mercedes Benz cars, Los Angeles high-end apartments). As for the source of the six million funds for filming, it is still a mystery (conspiracy theories). The author believes that Wei Su is the legendary hijacker DB Cooper who wore sunglasses in the 1970s. This person has not been arrested.) During the shooting of The Room, he directly burned money and replaced all the actors and production team. For example, Greg later replaced the role Mark in It was a black man in the first edition.
Greg Castro: Author of "Disaster Artist", former vice president of Wesley Films, and Tommy's classmate/friend. Before the filming of "The Room", I worked as a TV animation voice actor and male model. I met Tommy in an acting class in San Francisco. At that time, Tommy's crazy performance that ignored the eyes of other people in the class made Greg show up to this mysterious man. With a strong curiosity, when he learned that Tommy had a dream of making a movie, Greg became a witness on Tommy's pursuit of dreams. In his autobiography, Greg criticized Tommy's many choices during the filming of "The Room", and the relationship between the two has always been very delicate.
Casting: "Disaster Artist" has restored the original actor to a degree of falsehood. The screenwriter Sandy played by Fatty, Chris-R played by Zac Efron, and Danny played by Josh Hutcherson are all in the film. Highlights
Lace: Tommy has always held a negative attitude towards Greg’s autobiography "Disaster Artist" "Only 40% of the content in the book actually happened." But he gave Hulan’s performance 99.9% affirmation, by the way Say that Tommy is a big fan of James Dean, and Hulanlan played James Dean. Lace 2: During the shooting process, the production team restored a large number of classic scenes in the original version frame by frame, and only a part of it was used in "Disaster Artist". Fans who love "Room" can save money to buy BD. Lace 3: The huge "Room" billboard with the phone number of Tommy's house printed on it has been hanging in Hollywood for five years. Many Hollywood superstars have had the honor to see its style. According to Hulanlan, Gary Oldman once asked. Check if the person on his poster is a wanted criminal.
