Open your eyes and feel the world as much as you can before you close them. ——Inscription

This is the first time, the barrage at the end of the film is surprisingly neat, and the scrolling on the screen is the time when everyone watched the film. The audience paid tribute to the film in this way, remembering With our sorrow and joy and a total of 118 minutes - the movie "Room (Room)".

The story begins with an autobiography of a little boy (maybe you are curious about his long hair, but it doesn't matter, you will definitely remember that he is a boy), the little boy is about five years old, he begins to be curious about the world and begins to fantasize He can receive his first birthday present on his fifth birthday. He imagines that there is a dog named "lucky" in the world. He hopes that he can understand everything in the world and is better than anyone else, but in fact, he Never knew what the world was like, because he hadn't left this room since he was born.

The boy's name is Jack, and his mother's name is Joy. Seven years ago, Joy was abducted here by a man on the grounds that he had a poor dog in the family who needed help, so he was imprisoned, raped her, and then gave birth to Jack . Jack and his mother have been living in this shanty, the door is locked, they can't get out. This year, Jack began to be curious about the unknown world. Joy couldn't bear to have her son imprisoned in the room for his whole life, so she taught Jack to play dead and let the man send him out. It didn't sound like a clever plan, but it really worked. In the end, Joy and Jack were both rescued and returned home. But in seven years, this society has changed too fast, and they have been unable to adapt to the current life. Joy's temper became grumpy. Her parents had divorced during this time. She found that her family would be fine without her presence. For Jack, everything was unfamiliar, roads, trees, cars, Flowers, plants, and even "people" in his mind were only flat animations on TV. He couldn't walk up stairs, never played with building blocks, and never looked down from a high-rise window. Jack, who first met the world, only whispered to his mother, but when everyone was worried about the future of the child, Jack gave us an unexpected "surprise".

Teeth & Hair<
When Jack fled, the only thing he carried on his body was his mother's extracted tooth, because his mother told him: with this tooth, mother will always be by your side. So, mom's teeth gave Jack the strength to live.

In addition to this, Jack has his own source of power. Jack's image in the film most of the time is with long blond hair that has not been cut for seven years. When he first came to his grandmother's house, when the grandmother asked him if he wanted to cut his hair, Jack whispered to his mother. : This is the source of my strength. The people around laughed when they heard it. This boy with long hair was already dreaming of a superman. And when his mother couldn't adapt to reality and escaped, Jack finally decided to cut his long hair. He decided to send his hair to his mother, hoping that the hair would also give her courage and strength.

"Lucky" & Hemmers
"Lucky", a dog in Jack's heart, was his best friend when Jack was locked in a shack. Hemmers, a real dog, was Jack's first animal companion when he got home. You can imagine the tearful scene when Jack saw Hymes for the first time, like old friends who haven't seen for a long time, meet at the right moment. Although it can't talk about the power of faith, God still helped Jack complete his beautiful dream.

Gradually, Jack began to try to get in touch with the outside world. He bought food with his grandmother, took Hemus on a trip, and played football with his friends. Joy, who was still full of worries, suddenly felt relieved. But a request from his son brought Joy back to the "nightmare" - Jack wanted to take another look at the "room" he once lived in.

"Mom, why is this place different?"
"Because it's been moved away, it's the evidence we've been here."

"Mom, why do I think the room is getting smaller?"
"..."
"Mom, I see, It's because the door to the room is open."
"Then do you want me to close it?"
"...No, don't..."

"Jack, it's time for us to leave."
"Okay, Mom. …bye, potted plant; bye, Table; goodbye, chair one; goodbye, chair two; goodbye, water table; goodbye, skylight..."
Joy's eyes started to turn red, "...let's go, Jack."
"Mom, say 'goodbye to the room' 'Come on."
"..." In the

long snow, Joy and Jack left behind, never looking back.

The movie begins and ends in a small shack. The mother left with the innocent child, and the doctor once said to her: Thank you, fortunately, you brought him back to this world when he was still plastic. This tragic woman reflects the shadow of a great mother. It is undeniable that maternal love will not be defeated by cruel reality.

I have no way to describe this movie with beauty, because from beginning to end, it is the touch between the skin and the eyes. It was as if I was locked in a small shack with them. When I was sad, scared, and helpless, the only thing I could do was look at the skylight on the roof, but it was only a square meter in size, but it also carried sunlight, wind and snow, and Fallen leaves. For Jack, outside the window is another world, and the whole world, and what he is in is just a small room that is not even marked on the map.

"It doesn't matter, fortunately, my mother is here. Fortunately, I still have a skylight. My mother said that there is the whole world outside the window. What is the world like? Will I see the world?" I seemed to hear Jack's heart.

Fortunately, this skylight guarded Jack's beautiful fantasy, allowing him to embrace the free blooming flowers. What's more, on the eve of the flowers, I seem to hear angels patrolling my dreams.
