room and world

This is a movie that will doubt the world after watching it, but will have a new or deeper understanding of the world.

If "Three-Body Problem" reshuffles our understanding from the scope of the universe, and "Truman's World" gives us thinking from the scope of the world, then this movie uses a small room to break our inherent concept.

After watching the movie at 11:30 in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep for a long time after lying down, and I couldn't understand the view of a child who lived in a closed space from birth to 4 years old. For him, his world is this small The room, the outside world is to him like the universe is to us, vast and boundless. I also thought of the sentence in "The Three-Body Problem", we think that the world we live in is huge, and in front of the vast universe, it is just as insignificant as a speck of dust.

I think the success of the film is that it not only filmed how the two lived in the room, but also showed the great changes in life and the adaptability of the body and mind after the two left the room. I originally thought that the child would collapse, but I didn't expect that the mother who was more familiar with the outside world almost couldn't make it. I suddenly remembered that when I was in Canada, the teacher in charge of the International Department told us, don’t think that you will not get used to it until you come here from your own country. When you finish your life here and return to your home country, you will Experience a reverse cultural shock. At first I thought it was incredible, but after I experienced it, I realized that it was true.

At the end of the movie, the mother said to Jack in tears, I am not a good mother, Jack replied, but when you are a mother, you have to lament the success of this mother's education and that the child may be far stronger and greater than we imagined.

Room quotes

  • Jack: Ma and I have decided that since we don't know what we like, we get to try *everything.*

  • Jack: [thinking to himself] One, two, three... There's room, then outer space, with all the TV planets, then heaven. Plant is real, but not trees. Spiders are real, and one time the mosquito that was sucking my blood. But squirrels and dogs are just TV, except lucky. He's my dog who might come some day. Monsters are too big to be real, and the sea. TV persons are flat and made of colors. But me and you are real.
