The Room is known as the Citizen Kane of the bad film industry and has a high reputation in the bad film industry. After watching it, I was deeply shocked, and my heart received a powerful impact. After all, I have never seen a movie that can be made with such an AV quality. For the first time, Mr. Tomivusu wrote, directed and acted himself, and he showed his alternative artist temperament
Shocking famous scene
OH, HI MARK.
"I did not hit her, it's not true, it's bullshit, I did not hit her. I did NAAAHT. Oh, hi Mark."
As the most fascinating and famous scene of "Room", Johnny's performance after being framed by Lisa for domestic violence is applauded. Johnny pushed open the rooftop door angrily (theoretically), threw the sentence with excitement (theoretically) like a machine gun, and even threw the plastic bottle in his hand vigorously (theoretically). Although I can't feel Johnny's feelings in the words, but in connection with the above (as if it was not mentioned at all), then in connection with the mood, we can feel his anger and puzzlement.
Although this sentence is wonderful, the reason why this scene can become a famous scene is because of Johnny's greeting after he threw the water bottle in anger. He turned his head calmly, and the cold but spiritual "Oh, hi Mark." became a classic of the film. This sentence also appeared on the promotional poster of the film "Disaster Artist" adapted from the production process of this film.
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!
Teacher Tommy Weiss must like James Dean very much, which is also mentioned in "The Disaster Artist". "You are tearing me apart!" is also a famous line in " Rebel Without A Cause " starring James Dean , which left a deep impression on me.
I think it's a forced salute, even though the line comes in the context of Johnny and Lisa arguing about domestic violence, and Johnny thinks Lisa broke his heart. Cooperating with the previous performance of Johnny's machine to tear down Lisa and make people sad tears, it adds a blunt beauty to this line.
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
The last scene of Johnny sweeping the home is also regarded as a classic, and his desperation after being betrayed can be read from his attempted brutality.
Incredible logic genius
one
Johnny and Lisa went upstairs to play with the couple, and Danny asked rudely: Can I go upstairs too? Johnny ignored his earnest request. Well, children are ignorant and understandable.
But the next second he was biting the apple, eyes full of innocence, looking in the direction Johnny and Lisa were leaving.
He moved, he actually went upstairs to join Johnny and Lisa, frolicking in bed with them.

"Nobody wants to help me. And I'm dying."
"You're not dying, ma."
“I got the result for the test back. I definitely have breast cancer.”
...to be caught off guard, to die is not a modifier. Mr. Tommy really does not speak secretly. But I wasn't over from the shock here, and got a new surprise. I was shocked by Lisa's lack of shock when she heard her mother bring out this tragedy so calmly and like a family chat. As if she had known this news for tens of thousands of years, she comforted her with a smile, "Look, don't worry about it. Everything would be fine."
I admire Lisa's optimism.

Lisa's friend Michelle and her boyfriend Mike suddenly slipped into Lisa's house and decided to play chocolate games on Lisa's sofa. I can't understand why it's not on the sofa in my own house, maybe it's some strange taste, and of course it may be echoing "Room"? Lisa and her mother were cut off when they got home and ran away in a hurry. What effect does the appearance of this scene have, I really don't understand the realm of the master.
Lisa's mother's emotional question was exactly what I wanted to know. “How many people come in and out of this apartment everyday?”

Danny was suddenly bullied on the rooftop, Johnny and Mark went up to the rooftop to rescue Danny who might get a headshot; Lisa and his mother also appeared at the bullying scene in a second, holding hands together, full of Face "Don't fight again!" worry. Seeing such a big scene with swords drawn, I couldn't help laughing happily.

The page of The Room on IMDB, the key words of this film's plot are as follows.
. . .
Chicken I think was also inspired by James Dean 's Rebel for No Reason. But in "Room", the chicken really started acting as a chicken. And it was Johnny's psychiatrist friend who didn't want to play football in a suit, so Danny took the lead in pretending to be a chicken (...). Of course, the final result is that everyone played successfully, and also contributed an additional filming location to the film.

Look, Danny is upstairs.
Look, Danny is downstairs.

When Johnny went to buy flowers, he was really buying flowers. Mr. Tommy filmed the whole process of buying flowers. Say hello, how much is it, don't look for it, the flower shop lady went to get the flowers, Johnny patted the head of the dog squatting on the cashier before leaving. The details of the process and the reality of the scene are full of human fireworks. I think it may also be that Tommy felt that there were too few scenes in the movie, so he had to shoot multiple flower shops.
"You're my favorite customer."
"Thanks a lot. Bye~~~~~~" (Johnny's words are so lingering.)
The attentive teacher Tommy even gave a shot of Johnny coming out of the flower shop.

"Danny came while you were away" and what can be said in one sentence is also recreated. Although in the end, he didn't explain what Danny wanted to do. The art of film lies in the fact that every detail must be presented to the audience. ——Wo Gangcai Wand [Chinese]

Do a full play. To buy flowers, you have to take a photo of the dog's head, and to go to a cafe, you have to restore the real daily life. So Mr. Tommy photographed the first two pairs of customers who bought coffee for Johnny. Yes, not one pair, two pairs, one pair after another, this is the real American life.

Johnny's way home at night, of course, also has a camera.
Breathtaking American scenery
At the beginning of the film, the audience was shown several American landscapes that could not be seen to be of any use (and would not be useful in the future), with cheerful and melodious background music. Although they were confused, they could sense this movie and other movies. The difference is attractive to continue to explore.
There are many places in the film where scenery is used to make scenes, which can be said to have traveled all over the United States. Sometimes there are more than cutscenes, such as a birthday party, and suddenly the scenery starts playing.
soulless passion
Perhaps it was a high-level way of showing the love between the two, which made me feel a little doubt in the indifference while watching. This warm background music, paired with numerous scenes showing the two hugging from different angles, accompanied by Johnny's clearly articulated laughter, has no intention of warming up. Finally Johnny took Lisa's face and kissed her, but the next second he started spilling rose petals again. OK, back to the original starting point. And many scenes in the first sex scene, I have a reasonable suspicion that they were copied and pasted directly to the next sex scene. It saves time and effort, and makes Wen Ziren amazed (nothing).
The scene in which Lisa and Mark cheated was handled in a familiar way that made me laugh. The only difference is that in this scene, Johnny's laugh turns into Mark's ah-ah moan. And the repeated I will I will I will in the background music of the previous paragraph becomes the repeated You are my rose You are my rose You are my rose.
Passionate about playing football
Chatting on the rooftop and wanting to play; the camera doesn’t change, even making the third player invisible, but still playing happily; wearing a suit and playing, not playing is chicken; even going to the grass to play nonsensically ( more than one scene).
I am full of admiration for this masterpiece.
Johnny's trademark clear laugh, indifferent, unwavering words, casual body language with a bit of decadence, always the mysterious expression that is elusive and unpredictable, and simple and unnutritious lines And the illogical plot made me feel the charm of cinematic art in these 99 minutes. Although the ending is sad, what the film wants to express will be forever engraved in film history.
