For him, the room is the paradise of his childhood dreams.

"We don't know what we like, so we try everything... There are so many things in this world, sometimes scary, but it doesn't matter, because you are still with me..." Shrinking room, bigger world, 2015 is a surprise dark horse work like "Little Sunshine". There are strong tears at the end and goodbye to the room: "Goodbye potted plants, goodbye chairs No.1 and No.2, goodbye table, goodbye wardrobe, goodbye sink, goodbye skylight..." The little boy is the real protagonist, and the story stands in the perspective of the victim , Talking about psychological self-help, the mother tried to make her son the same as the children of the same age. The story chose a very interesting entry point. The environment changed to the inner change. Everything unfolded in the mood of the little boy. It was very difficult. Fortunately, the little boy’s acting skills were Oscar-level, the script is a modular genre film writing, the previous hour was perfect, and the filming was neat and tidy.
Touched by the little protagonist many times, the "room" that is full of darkness in the eyes of an adult is a paradise of his childhood dreams, where he can chase light and shadow, play with furniture, and the child's infinite imagination makes the confined space infinite. The first half was beautiful and cruel; the clues after blending into the outside world were more complicated and not handled properly. "You saved me again" and the farewell ceremony were really teary. Covering a cold world with the child's vision, walked out of the "room" for the second time and said that Byebye really walked out of the room. "I am a bad mother" "but you are a mother". The world is sinister, but still very beautiful. The story is not inciting, but it is still moving.
I finally understand why even though the queen is like the queen in Carol, the odds of this year's movie queen are still not as good as Brie Larson. The acting is really good. Although the rhythm of the second half is flawed, the story is quite complete #Farewell to the past to embrace the beginning of a new life, otherwise it will always be a shadow. Restrained and delicate, it has achieved a balance between the mother-based event discussion and the child's perspective. The rhythm of the first half and the back are well grasped. The performance of the little actor is shocking, the true and pure soul of a child, great beauty.
The story of rescue or trauma treatment is clichéd, and the outstanding thing is the display of the world experienced by that child. We all had the unique time and space of transcendental empiricism, but were eventually replaced by the single world of this symbol. Someone tenderly bid farewell. Someone didn't say goodbye and some even forgot its existence. The problem is not that the world liberated the room, but that we should expand the room to the world, if this is the century of Deleuze.
You are my world in the room, and you won’t be afraid when you walk out of the room, because we are still together... This sentence was said by the child, but it also applies to the mother. It can even be said that the child saved the mother! From the perspective of a child, the film seems to be easier to accept, but in fact it feels more cruel. The boy’s monologue has many places to tears. Shamelessly Frank came to play with his grandfather. In the end, this line disappeared.

    The world in the eyes of a child is always so innocent, even if his eyes are covered

    The second half is a little bit worse, and it's still a good story, mainly because the two actors are great. A scene is too teary, crying beyond control.

Room quotes

  • [first lines]

    Ma: Ssh. Go back to sleep.

    Jack: [reciting to himself] Once upon a time, before I came, you cried and cried and watched TV all day, until you were a zombie. But then I zoomed down from heaven, through skylight, into Room. Whoosh-pshew! And I was kicking you from the inside. Boom, boom! And then I shot out onto Rug with my eyes wide open, and you cutt-ed the cord and said, "Hello, Jack!"

  • Jack: There are so many things out here. And sometimes it's scary. But that's ok. Because it's still just you and me...
