Sorry to say, I was actually moved by this film. Tommy's heart twitched when there were tears in his eyes. Although he knew he did it himself, he still felt bad for him.
It doesn't matter how much money is spent, in fact Tommy may just be immersed in the feeling of being fully committed to his own business, spending money is just a way to build his own Hollywood, like a grand cosplay, to build his own planet. I feel sorry for his innocent and fragile heart. On the surface, he seems to be mysterious, but in fact, he is like a child. Everything in his imagination is beautiful, but the reality is far from the same, whether it is naive or naive, Anyway, he wasn't the lucky and understandable one. The inner emotions or associations are very rich, but he can't express them, so he can only use some superficial cues, or just remind himself. There is an actor in the play who is right, isn't this just shooting himself, he must have a lisa and a mark in his life. In class today, the teacher said about composition: "Some settings make you think of something that others won't understand." Yes, others will never understand why you set it up like this. If it sounds good, then you've earned it, it's your own thing. It will bring you economic or popularity effects; it does not sound good, and there is no reason to reason, because there are some things, some whimsical ideas, you can't understand at all, you can use theory to explain it hard, but the spark in that moment is definitely only related to about yourself. Just like Tommy and the two of them watching the movie, Tommy said inside: You are tearing me apart is very emotional. Anyway, I didn't feel the rich emotion that was about to come out.
Tommy is an idealized person who, after a lot of hard work himself, is not allowed to criticize others. It can be said to be arrogant or inferior, but it is more like being immersed in your own world. Since there will always be criticism, if the impact of criticism on you is to make you not like yourself, then it is better to build your own. Planet, criticize yourself or people who disagree, sorry, my planet doesn't welcome you, artists are sometimes mavericks. Maybe all the actors at that time had a LA dream, and there are always very few people in the world who realize their dreams. If it is a traditional movie plot, when Tommy is asserted by a famous screenwriter that he has achieved nothing, he will work hard, and finally get the little golden man, the screenwriter slaps the face, isn't this the American dream; if it is whiplash, work hard to the extreme, In the end, there was an accident and bad luck, the dream was wiped out, and finally I was crazy about it; but there is a real thing in this movie, Tommy spent a few months, and it took a bunch of ... This is probably the most common thing in life. thing.
Those who pursue their dreams are always imprinted with loneliness. Tommy too, Gray used to be his good friend, helping him clean up the mess and encouraging him... But friends should not only be positive encouragement, Gray has always followed his wishes, and unknowingly, let Tommy treat him There is no concept of the work and progress of the film (it's more that Tommy can't express it rather than saying it's a bad movie). Of course, his inability to listen was another matter, or the financial dependence made Grey feel like he owed Tommy something. Only positive comments are not good enough friends. But maybe making a movie is not a process of creating results, maybe in their world, there is nothing more cruel than breaking their imagination, maybe it is enough to have fun.
From the perspective of Disaster Artist's film, choosing to use a film to reveal another film's creative process is a particularly clever idea. Tommy's film didn't touch me, but what he did, went through and thought, in a way, I would like to call mine is similar to his. Or it can be seen as a performance art, or at least art.
Life is a play, thank you, artist.

    I really want to know where the money for the movie came from, but unfortunately the background of the protagonist is a mystery. . $6 million, 2003.

    From the beginning to the end, "The Room" failed. Such a bad film index of 100% created a unique temperament in "The Room". "Disaster Artist" is not to absorb the badness of "Room", but to grab the strangeness of "Room", and then dig deep into the root and purity of this strangeness, making it a comedy movie with normal logic.
