happy hour

Bad to the extreme will become a classic. After being poisoned by domestic bad films, Tommy Weisu's "Room" is actually a masterpiece full of natural laughter. Maybe it's the age, the unique texture of the film, the harmonious color matching and the delicate green screen cutout (although I don't know why Tommy himself didn't use a ready-made rooftop shot, probably because he had money), outer space-like. The acting skills and the script that this screenwriter can jump off the building (ordinary AV plots are slightly better) seem to be intentional, but the joke is: Tommy Weisu is really an artist! The state of ecstasy and the momentum of hard work, coupled with excessive paranoia and enigmatic self-confidence, this attitude is estimated to be comparable to only Bi Zhifei in China (of course, this film is still less interesting than Dream Chasing).

Having said that, "Room" still feels like an ordinary student work. I’ve seen countless bad movies in school, you’ve shot me and everyone’s shot, art academies are full of fascinated and confident people who don’t have stock in their stomachs, but they haven’t waited to read more books and movies to accumulate basic cultural literacy. I was driven by the school to create and practice, and I could shoot and cut, but the things that came out were rubbish. I remember being forced by faculty members to attend a lecture given by a certain documentary director a few days ago. It seemed that he had won some awards from some backward third world countries. The self-confidence, the air, and the embarrassing scene of being choked by a simple question from a student (the one about Jia Zhangke's artistic technique in my memory) is still fresh in my memory. There is also an event that supports graduating seniors' cinematic movies, forcing the crowd to watch bad movies. The whole viewing experience is not as happy as "Room". When I see a third of it, I will find a reason to slip away, because it is really my life. , the most boring and worthless work I have ever seen.

The biggest fear that "Room" gives us, especially those who are half-baked in film and television, is to admit that I am a mediocre person who is completely and cannot be changed. Tommy Wei always has wealth and pursuits, and everyone even scolds me, but I just believe that you are all idiots. After buying a machine, spending money, directing and acting, you can still screen at your own expense and be sent to Cannes. I dare to ask who is now To be able to do so gracefully. For those of us who have neither money nor salty fish, the art we pursue is like an empty shell that has been spurned. We work hard, but we only realize that we are just immigrant workers from the Internet. People who pursue pure art are being scolded, jumped off the building, and colluded with the group. Going north, going around in a circle, I don’t know where my dreams are.

Before the movie Dream, we were all useless versions of Tommy Wiseau.

If you can't bear the rottenness of "Room", you might as well watch "The Disaster Artist", which tells how Citizen Kane was born in this rotten film, starring James Franco Fu Lanlan to "Tommy Kane" Wei Su"'s performance is very exciting, and it can definitely become an exclusive viewing experience that is both funny and moving.
