The protagonist Tommy in "The Disaster Artist" is a geek who is not accepted by the world. He has a self-confidence of fascination. He neither cares what people around him think of him, nor does he care what others think. For him, life It is probably a road that goes straight to the end, and the name of that road is "Always be yourself".
Tommy has his own dreams, he wants to be a movie star, so he takes acting classes and does not hesitate to stand on stage when he can show himself, although the end result is that the audience is impressed by his exaggerated and unknown acting skills. Shocked, even the teacher was shocked by him and could only give a comment like "thank you", but also because he unabashedly showed his passion for performance, after that impromptu performance, he got to know and appreciate him, and A partner who can move forward together on the road of dreams, Grey.
Grey and Tommy are polar opposites, especially when it comes to their approach to their dreams.
Grey, like most of us, has become timid and timid in the face of dreams, and is too concerned about the vision around him, so even if Grey has more innate advantages, he still can't be open-minded when others question him. Speak up for yourself.
Although Gray has repeatedly stated that acting is his dream, when he finally had the opportunity to follow Tommy to Los Angeles to pursue his dream, he forgot his original intention of coming here in just three months—— When he and his girlfriend snuggled up on the sofa sweetly, pointing to the man on the screen and saying that he had auditioned for that role, he could no longer see the embarrassment of his failure, or the urgency of not realizing his dream. Probably forgot to stand on the rooftop three months ago, roaring excitedly to conquer LA.
On the other hand, Tommy is fighting for his dream while Grey is completely slack.
Even when his acting teacher told Tommy he should play the villain and said he was "showing him the path to success," Tommy insisted that he should be a hero, telling those who laughed at him offstage: "You guys It's the villain", because in his cognition, those acts of sneering on the sidelines are what the villain will do.
The biggest difference between Tommy and Grey is that no matter what others say about him, he always believes that he is special. To paraphrase Grey, Tommy seems to be always fearless. In this world, how many people pretend to be I just don't want others to think that he is an alien, but Tommy doesn't have this trouble, he just does what he wants to do, even for most people, Tommy is a weirdo living in his own world, but because of His weirdness made him look so different.
But even as confident as Tommy, he has his moments of injury.
After encountering a well-known producer at the restaurant, Tommy naturally took the opportunity to recommend himself, but instead annoyed the other party. Before Tommy was taken away by the restaurant security, the producer even said: "Even if I give you a million years, you will not success", but after Tommy listened, all he asked was:
"What about a million years from now?"
This is Tommy's persistence.
Although Tommy was really hit by the other party's words, he wanted to know whether he could succeed even if the chance was small, so even if he was rejected by the whole world on the way to pursue his dream, once he found out that he still had the opportunity to make a movie When the road could go, Tommy rushed forward without hesitation.
So, someone who couldn't even figure out how many pages the script should write, someone who didn't even understand the terminology on the set, miraculously gave birth to the script and made the movie like this.
However, the reality that should be faced still has to be faced. It is only a movie made with enthusiasm. The final result can only be said to be miserable without any suspense. Tommy thinks that he opens his heart and draws out his soul to write works that can make The audience was touched by his emotion, but in the end, he only got a lot of ridicule.
When Tommy couldn't bear the laughter of the audience and escaped from the premiere venue with his tail tucked in his head, Grey appeared next to Tommy again at the right time-although as a dream chaser, Grey didn't perform well, but As a pusher on Tommy's dream-seeking road, he did a very competent job.
When Tommy gave himself up and said, "Maybe everyone is right, I'm just a joke", he clung to Tommy's shoulders and firmly told Tommy that what he did not everyone can do, Although the results were not as good as Tommy expected, Grey asked Tommy to listen to the audience's reaction.
"It's quite loud." Tommy said this, and the corners of his mouth seemed to rise faintly.
Before the story of the two began, it was Tommy who led Grey to take the first step in his dream. This time, Grey took Tommy's hand and took him to witness how the audience went crazy for his movie.
"Do you think Hitchcock could be treated like that?" Gray asked.
Although we all know that Gray said this to coax Tommy, but Tommy listened carefully.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because we are friends."
In the end, Tommy changed back to the Tommy we were familiar with.
Although Tommy understands the world or understands himself differently from others, it is precisely because he always shows his truest self that we have the opportunity to know him, understand him, and even like him in our own way. , Tommy managed to let us into his world.
"It's my movie, and it's my life."
This is the coolest thing Tommy has ever said.
I hope we can keep the purest persistence and courage like Tommy on the way to pursue our dreams, and also hope that in front of anyone who still has a dream, we can be like Grey and see their beauty.
So, when you are tired of life, just watch this movie. I believe that everyone can find the self who seemed to be messed up at that time, but took it for granted that he would succeed in Tommy.
