Today I would like to share with you my opinion about the movie "The Room" from 2015. I called this post "How do you see the world?", because one of the most important threads of this movie is the perception of the world. How would you imagine the world if you were closed in one room since you were born?
The main characters of the plot are a woman called Joy and her son Jack. Joy was kidnapped as a teenager and trapped in a little cupboard in the garden of old Nick. After two years spent in "a room" she gave birth to Jack. The boy was growing in this place, deprived of natural light, other human beings etc. His whole world was "the room". Jack had a TV on which he saw other people, but he thought they were not real, as all what the TV had to offer. The first time his mother told him that there, on the other side of the wall the other world existed, he couldn't believe at the first moment, later on he started making questions. Little Jack dares us to rethink the things that surround us and seem to be so banal. There are less and less things that can surprise us, whereas Jack, perceives everything as remarkable. I strongly recommend this movie, even with it's dramatic story, it can give you valuable reflection on life and human relations.
"The room" directed by Lenny Abrahamson was filmed in Toronto (Canada) in 2015.
