"Room" in Utopia

A movie I've seen before, just got it

"The Disaster Artist" originated from the cult movie "Room", and I will call it "humorous" for the time being. It's not pleasant to watch, but impressive enough. In my opinion, its utopia lies not only in the realization of "absurd" dreams, but also in the trust and cooperation between the two protagonists. Even starting from "Utopia", the process of chasing dreams is also full of sadness and faces complex challenges of human nature. It is recommended to watch it in conjunction with the original "Room", and the spiritual and visual impact will be more profound.

    The film is still Lan Lan's previous spoof + deconstruction of pop culture comedy routine, telling an alternative American dream story of "Pure Heart·Dream of the Performing Arts". As for the director who made a bad film, why became a master of the cult, except for the cult fans who really worship "The Room", otherwise it is difficult to get the inner logic of all this. If you can't get this logic, then Lanlan's film is just an inspirational comedy with OK completion.
