 One of the most criminally underrated movies of all time goes up against one of the most overrated ones It's Tommy Waiso's masterpiece the room versus some piece of shit flick called room They couldn't even get two words in there buckle the fuck up cuz I'm not holding back Where's Lisa going? Where's intern Lisa going? She's leaving for the day. Why Lisa? Why why? Oh, hi, Mark I didn't know you were coming in today. Let's get started with the few Fucking joke. It's an insult to compare room to the master craft work Tommy Waiso has put into the room visionary artist Tommy Waiso not only wrote to the room He directed produced and acted in it although It's hard to tell where the man ends and the actor begins the way He seamlessly puts himself all into his character and also all into Lisa's vagina It's mind-altering his performance as Johnny ranks above most high-profile roles like Heath Ledger's Joker and Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Room is basically Brie Larson crying for two fucking hours. Wow What a tough performance for a woman to accomplish producing tears on Camera better give her the Oscar or she'll cry again What makes the room such a champagne film is the layers upon layers of characters study at play These are all broken people with real-world problems You're taking me parties off take Denny for example a down on his luck teen Desperately seeking that father figure he takes refuge in Johnny's good nature Johnny gets this kid an apartment next door And always welcomes him in with open arms Well, except for during one of Johnny's many love-making sessions as much as Denny wants to watch It's just not appropriate pillow fighting is perfectly acceptable But there is a clear fucking line that begins and ends with candle-lit thrusting speaking of getting savagely violated Lisa is what I would consider the central character here Although this is not a traditional film by any sense so I could be completely wrong the movies far too deep for my weak mind to Comprehend balls deep Lisa's a bitch and a temptress She's a woman who gets what she wants and nothing will get in the way of her happiness She loves Johnny, but his best friend mark is too delicious to keep off the menu mark is the yin to Johnny's yang He's the bad boy down the street. That's too busy to talk to you, but always has time to fuck He's standoffish yet clingy He claims to be Johnny's best friend, but he has no problem stabbing his fiance in the crotch at every turn Why so wisely introduces the viewer to Lisa's savage no-nonsense mother who constantly tells her stupid fucking daughter How things are in this world men provide for women who essentially are nothing more than vessels for babies They just shop and take the man's money. Oh, yeah, and Lisa's mom also has breast cancer, but who cares not the script It doesn't have time to as it's never brought up again It's one of the many red herrings in this hitch cocky and affair outside of Brie Larson's baby poor me Performance is her character son Jack played by some little shit named Jacob Trambly or however you say it He plays with toys and sometimes listens to his mother. Wow. What a tough role to master as a kid actor These guys really had it tough outside of William H. Macy coming in later in the picture It's really just these two moping around most of the time What a rough time living out your life in a room being paid for by a guy you barely have to see He buys you whatever you want and lets you be with your kid. How is this even a movie? It's what every woman wants Hey mark is Lisa coming back No You're tearing me apart Lisa The room is of love and betrayal but that's just top-surface high school writing bullshit It's way more the movie is far smarter than any one person can dissect unless you are the creator Tommy Wiseau himself It's a polarizing film about the duality of man and the lengths He will go to to win what is rightfully his in the first 30 minutes alone We are treated to not just one soft-core sex scene but three two of which use recycled shots in the bedroom Make no mistake. This is not done by accident Every frame is a painting in motion much like Michael Bay reusing shots from one film to the other Tommy carefully extracts moments that need reminding typically it's one of Lisa's tits the sex scenes Welcome us into Johnny's playground and keep us engaged with the animalistic acts of pure love and by the way He ravages her I'm not entirely convinced He wasn't fully inside her until completion Tommy also wisely sneaks in a BJ scene to knock the audience over the head with the contrasting Situations where Johnny and Lisa are very much in a passionate embrace. We see his simple minded friends fornicating on the couch It's silly and stupid and it's all intentional simple tends often criticize this tour de force for having a bunch of football scenes Sprinkled throughout but it's not the film's job to dumb shit down for them. The message couldn't be clear No matter what these guys are going through in life There is always a constant for them and that's tossed in the old pigskin around Mike's bang and Lisa Denny's caught up in some city shit with drug dealers Johnny doesn't have the faintest idea of how to communicate with people as he Is secretly a cyborg none of this matters when you're playing a little football It's like each toss of the football is a little bit of that Caribbean washed away These guys are all bipolar as well You should know that one minute having a casual conversation and the next trying to throw each other off rough tops Which is what I wanted to do myself after sitting through the room The story is so one note and simple a woman is kidnapped as a teenager and forced to live Give birth and raise a kid for many years in a small isolated room with no contact to the outside world It sounds worse than it is. They have a TV and a book and Rat to play with they aren't living out each day with inner demons like Johnny and his friends That's for sure room second half is about recovery or the lack thereof I suppose some average moviegoer may consider this a remarkable film full of intense drama and extremely emotional moments a movie That's hard to even sit through especially as a father of two who can't stand to watch kids being treated in such a horrific Manor sure the movie is only inspired by true events But those true events are even worse than the movies version to those idiots I say see better movies like the room unless they're too afraid to branch out and try something better Maybe they're a little bit too chicken Where do I even start the room is so dense every single frame has something going on From the clever use of spoons in the picture frames Symbolizing Hollywood and it's spoon-feeding bullshit to the amazing use of music the soft jazz and dated soundtrack That sounds like something out of an old episode of red shoe diaries makes you go even further down into the psyche of man Not since 2001 a space odyssey have I felt so out of the loop? It's refreshing. It's beautiful It's the room visually Tommy is doing things no other director would even consider like shooting the film on digital and traditional stock in tandem sure that doubled the cost of the picture he goes against all conventions most directors use Establishing shots to let the audience know the characters location But Tommy instead opted to place in stock footage of random things like bridges and parks He pushes the fucking envelope and when you think he can't go further He takes the envelope and fucks it out of existence the soft focus he uses on everything Gives the film a sort of soap opera feel he counters that emotion by putting the camera at angles that don't look pleasing on the eye At all and keep you up close to the action almost claustrophobic at times speaking of claustrophobic Room feels too personal. I didn't like the close-up shots from the kids point of view of his depressing Homemade toys. I don't want to see this fuckery through the eyes of an innocent child I want to view it through the lens of a man who doesn't know how to read his own scripts and Trashes his own house like some sort of a Frankenstein monster. I can connect to that I can relate to that and I'm gonna conclude with that Ro is a shit show and it has no reason to exist the performances are so Impactful that you end up feeling like a terrible person for even watching their struggle after watching this movie I spent the better half of a week trying to decide if I wanted to be some sort of a nighttime vigilante Going around the mean streets saving innocent victims from horrible crimes Then I realized I have no actual fighting skills. I'm not a very courageous person So I just rewatched the room and everything was all right again a gift from the God himself Tommy Waiso He had a vision and he nailed it and more importantly. He nailed Lisa He made me happy again Now I ask you to dig down and tell me which film is truly better some torture porn Oscar bait dumpster fire mother-son adventure or one of the most profoundly Brilliant and flawless films of the century comment vote and remember this is more than just reviews. This is movie feuds Hey mark Tell Lisa tomorrow that she can go to the store pick out anything she wants. Maybe a nice pretty dress again Anything for my princess. Oh Hello, if you stuck around this far, you should know that the entire episode was sarcasm You're smart enough to get that but in the off chance. You are a total buffoon know this room is an amazing movie It was heart-wrenching. I Could hardly watch it. Honestly, it was very powerful for me and I'm sad that saddened. I'm just getting to this review now, but Bri and Jacob did amazing performances and I can't think of a movie that Really hit me so hard before in the fields department. The room is is a silly Stupid fucking terrible train wreck of a film and you should all watch it and laugh and how bad it is
