This brechtian drama explores the relationships and intrigues surrounding one man, Jonny (played by Wiseau), and how these delicate friendships fall asunder once his bored and devious girlfriend decides to sleep with his best friend Mark. As Tommy himself realises at the climax of the film; 'Every body betray me!'
You will laugh so hard your rib cage will ache. And there are few things more satisfying than yelling at the on-screen characters and tossing spoons (only on cue of course, this is a thoughtful piece of cinema).
Tommy Wiseau's THE ROOM defies classification. It is beyond tripe but there is something special in these ruins-It is a cathartic experience and one I recommend you indulge in.
You forgot how it is a cinematic masterpiece. The shaking camera, the slightly out of focus shots and of course the famous scene where the camera is too close to the set and gets in the way of Johnny trashing it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that if you were to watch the movie at home, without the atmosphere of the screenings, you'd miss the point of the film. In fact I think most would turn it off the minute the sex scene began. However, when you're in a group and through their encouragement begin to let go of your inhibitions and join in with the movie, then, and only then, can you understand the beauty of the movie.
