On the surface, it is of course a movie. The script, shooting, and screening process are complete; there is no shortage of directors, actors, photography, lighting, and service; but from the actual effect, it completes the deconstruction of the movie in the name of the movie. , Wait, what do I want to express when I use the word "deconstruction"? It's probably the saying: The bull broke into the porcelain shop. When Niu swayed out, the porcelain shop was no longer a porcelain shop. The movies made by Mr. Wei Su with his eclectic and original spirit are no longer movies. But this is not to belittle, and it definitely does not mean that The Room is so bad that it cannot be called a movie. What I want to say is that Wei Su really created a new thing, which can be seen from the following aspects:
1. Reject traditional movies The rules of artistic creation reject the opinions of collaborators and lead the entire shooting process by oneself. In this regard, The Room is probably the only or one of the few absolute "independent productions" in film history. Mr. Wei Su broke people’s understanding of film as a collective creation. In an era of specialized production based on division of labor, The Room commendably shows us that if the film was born in small workshop-style production. What might it look like in the Middle Ages.
2. The shooting of The Room did not conform to the principles of the commodity market—the purchase of photographic equipment, the construction of unnecessary shower rooms on site, the constant budget overruns, and the terrible first week of box office. The money is gone, so it is by no means a commodity. It has no copper smell. It is the feelings in the feelings. The art in the literature and art. How to define such a creation of "art for the sake of art"? Ready-made romanticism!
3. The actors appear on the scene as themselves rather than as roles. This has nothing to do with the autobiographical nature of the film itself, but the audience can always see the actors acting, which in itself constitutes the object of watching the movie. Mr. Wei Su was reciting, yes, it was the look in the camera while reciting the phrase "Hi, Danny!" It made me laugh so hard that I couldn't take care of myself. Obviously, unlike the art of "dream-making" in traditional movies, he did not intend to bring people into the story and resonate with the characters. His strong self-awareness drove him to jump out uncontrollably and directly communicate with the audience: "Hey Look at me! See how I acted.” So, people in front of the screen saw the reality presented in a particularly fake way, regardless of his characters Johny, Tonny, this is Mr. Wei Su, absolutely real.
So, what exactly is The Room? "Mr. Wei Su single-handedly confronted the romantic avant-garde performance art of the modern film industry." It is also a joke.
In contrast, the excellence of "Disaster Artist" certainly includes skills, imitation, mastery of artistic rules and even innovation, which makes it actually play the opposite role of The Room, becoming a constructive force in the contemporary film industry. It successfully introduces people into the "dreamland". I didn't jump in for a second from the beginning to the end, but because of this, I largely ignored the existence of this movie and was directly overwhelmed by Wei Su and his The Room. To the "Disaster Artist" who made it all by himself, it was so overwhelmed and overwhelmed, that it was a good level! Great acting!
As for The Room, The Room did creat room for...what? "I don't know", "I have no idea", just as Jonny said.
