But as he grew up, Jack's curiosity made him no longer satisfied with this world, so Joey carefully planned and took Jack out of the room where they were imprisoned. However, after escaping, the mother and son, who had been out of society for too long, realized that the real world was what scared them the most. Jack is a five-year-old boy who has never left the room since he was born. He believed that everything in this room was real and everything else was unreal. But how does Jack react when his mother suddenly tells him that there are other real things outside this room.
The film is faithfully adapted from the book, and through this seemingly limited narrative perspective, it creates a contrasting effect of "being in a desperate situation but not feeling it", and finally achieves "the real value of telling a somewhat scary story". There is no attempt to induce tears in this work, but instead reveals the purest human affection. Five-year-old Jack touches everyone's heart, his voice, his experiences, his innocence, his humor, his love for his mother, make the story set on a sinister premise, but still feel Hope and strength.
