Today I walked to the cinema with a million points of excitement. God knows, as a die-hard fan of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, as a person who reads The Room so badly that he remembers his lines and reads all the analysis that can be found. After all the perversions, when I found that Hollywood was finally about to "acknowledge" Tommy once, the excitement that was beyond words could not be described in any language.
In my opinion, The Room is a magical film (it is indeed a bad film, I must admit), and in my eyes Tommy is a person who exists beyond me and other mortals (no derogation!). I am very happy that in this film made by James Franco, James should have a similar idea to me and other fans to shoot. He did not deliberately show the difference of Tommy like those who laughed at Tommy (if you think it is because you don’t know the real Tommy), but completely mortalize him and treat him as an ideal and ambitious person. Thoughtful people go to interpret. For his interpretation of Tommy, I think it can be scored at least 90 points. I personally think that he is not in the right position for the lack of part... After watching the film, Tommy himself told James Franco that he thinks this film is OK. He scored 99.9 points. The 0.1 point was missing because he thought there was a problem with lighting (but actually because he was watching the film with sunglasses, so he saw the film "very dark"........... ..............drunk). The above information comes from James Franco's narration in interviews in various places.
As a fan of the original book, finding similar scenes in the original book is of course my primary high point. I think James basically played the points that everyone has discussed, such as the flower shop scene, the rooftop scene, the xxx scene, and the "almost and "Danny3p" scene, every scene is restored well (especially the contrast in the final credit!), but I think it is a pity that the scene of'how's your sex life' was not restored... that scene Tommy's lines can be said to be a high degree of integration of financial knowledge with life experience and philosophy. It is a pity, but I think James may think that financial knowledge is too boring.
Regarding Dave Franco's performance, I feel a little bit suppressed by his brother, but I think Tommy's sense of existence is too strong, it's weird not to be suppressed by him. Generally speaking, I think his performance is quite satisfactory, because I am more passerby for the Mark in the original book, and I am a nasty little third! ! ! (Just kidding), so I am relatively indifferent to Greg who plays him. But I have to thank Greg for dictating the book The Disaster Artist, because without this book, James Franco would never find Tommy Wiseau, and would never go to a small movie theater in Canada to experience The Room for the first time. Cult’s “power” will not be completely infected by Tommy afterwards, like our fans, so that he contributed this tribute movie today, so that audiences who have never heard of The Room can also recognize it. Tommy. Get to know the masterpiece The Room.
Regarding the shortcomings of the movie, I think it was a bit weak at the end. The emotional transformation of the characters was too fast and there was almost no preparation, especially the role of Dave Franco. When watching the premiere in the cinema, one second before the movie, I can’t wait to go underground one second. It seems unnatural to me personally to comfort Tommy. The plot of the audience's collective laughter also gave me a sense of being in an American drama sitcom. And the ending is definitely a classic reunion speech, and I must deliberately sublimate my thoughts to emphasize the importance of friendship... This is a bit less for me, who prefer independent films and various real documentaries (only representative personal opinion). In real life, Tommy didn’t immediately change his words at the premiere and said that he made a black humorous film. The fire in The Room also gradually formed after the film was released for many years. To be honest, I think if James Franco You can film the actual situation of how The Room formed cult following, including all the collective behaviors (such as throwing plastic spoons at the screen, etc.) when everyone went to the midnight screening. I think this film is not one. A good film is a great film, but I have to admit that James Franco is very talented as a director. I also appreciate his previous works. I am optimistic about him. Maybe he is not the one who made the great film. when. To borrow a sentence from others after watching the movie, that is This is an All-American fun movie. It can be said to be quite Hollywood.
At the end of the movie, I applauded from the heart, but I applaud for Tommy, because he can finally have a wider audience, whether these audiences can truly understand him and support him, as a fan, I only Just care if he can make money. But from a certain point of view, Tommy has realized his dream, and Hollywood finally waved to him.
In addition, if you search for The Room after watching this movie and find that you particularly like movies like so bad it's good, then I would recommend a Tommy Wiseau No. 2 to you, his name is Neil Breen, I I think he and Tommy exist almost side by side...
Coming from the mixed feelings of an original fan girl drinking and watching movies.
After watching the movie for a few days, I will add a few more words. Why do I like Tommy from the bottom of my heart? It’s because I like him. I don’t give a fuck about what other people think about me, I just be myself. Actually All the artists, scientists, or social celebrities I personally admire are living their lives in this manner. The meaning of “do not give a fuck” is not to hurt or deliberately be different from others, but to be one This kind of heartfelt belief that oneself can do one thing and put it into practice, no matter how much resistance, or how much ridicule and incomprehension encountered, even if it is a terrible and terrifying film like The Room, it will end up Because the audience can feel Tommy's enthusiasm for putting all his heart and soul into it, forming a cult following, and attracting James Franco, who has always been a relatively special and successful person in Hollywood. In my opinion, this is more shining than the success of any universal value. For this, I will continue to support Tommy and others like him. Even if others don't appreciate them or spurn them, I will applaud them, because our world is too short of brave men like them.
