Movie Review: Room (2015)

Hello this is Movie Connoisseur talking about another recent film called Room.

The movie stars Brie Larson as ma, and Jacob Tremblay as Jack. The movie starts off with Jack and ma living together in a very tight quartered room. They spend their days together doing everything inside this room. As  the story progresses, you come to find out that Ma the main character was taken by a man in high school and was forced to live down there, and Jack is their son that she unwillingly had.

Jack is very young and does not know what his situation is, so his actions are not typical of what a person would imagine a hostage situation would look like. As the story progresses the audience starts to see how difficult it is for Ma having to deal with Jack, and her confinement. The man who captured her is there only part of the time, because he works. While the man is at work Ma devises a plan to try to escape. Jack pretends to be dead, and the man goes to get rid of his body. When Jack has an opportunity he escapes the man, and is able to find the police. From there he is able to rescue his mom.

The rest of the story deals with what the outcome of being held captive, and how the rest of the world treats you. Ma's parents, and grandparents do not know how to treat the whole situation.

This story shows the true side of how long term hostages have to adapt back into the real world. It is a dark film, and has a lot of taboo subjects that are not regularly addressed.

In recent years this situation has happened to people, and it shows the difficulty of adjusting. It also shows an outside perspective on how to deal with the situation.

The excellent part of this movie is that it is an original idea that sheds light on how people handle difficult situations.With it being so original it is hard to know where the movie is going with so many possible outcomes. It is a dark film, but it has a positive message on how people can grow, and deal with situations that are not the greatest.
