All room there is lies within

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2016)

7 years is a long time. It is a 5 year old whole and complete life. The story behind this movie is so much more than possible displayed via a screen.
A life taken away from the world is gruesome. A life coming to the world inside a maybe 10 square metres of a room is so far away what the ordinary thoughts can grasp. I were so emotionally involved in the way the mother had routines, structures and organization to build both her and her sons life. Amazing! The whole concept of a human settle down in its own mind and accepting a room for life is breathtaking. Accepting the fate and raising a child for 5 years inside a shed. If I only think about that, I feel so alive and proud of the freedom in the world... the freedom in making own decisions. So...all right....enough with the philosophy and the realistic point of view for this one.
Oscar nominations has brought attention to the picture. And that is fair. This movie has great acting, great production, great aspects of the whole storytellling and a really good director.
Maybe there could be even more realism considering the boy is out in the world for the first time in his entire life.... and, on the other hand... the mother had raised and educated her child in such a good way that the courage took overhand in situations and helped them escape.
The way back into the world can be long. The way back into the world can be devastating. Sometimes is the sad thing the only thing to hold on to...the habit of having something.
I am so impressed by the way the story and the movie rolls out. Splendid and important movie.
8,3 out of 10
