The Ed Wood of 2017

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2017)

"The Disaster Artist" tells the true story of Greg Sestero (actor who played Mark in "The Room," and co-wrote the book with Tom Bissell) as he is desperately wanting to be an actor, while he comes across a man who came from another world name Tommy Wiseau as they both became friends, and would go on to make the greatest bad movie of all time known as "The Room." I have seen "The Room," which I thought was mind-blowing, and never thought anyone would make this bad, aside from Ed Wood who has been making bad movies. Even Uwe Boll, himself, makes bad movies based on video games. "The Disaster Artist," has been receiving a lot of buzz, and I believe that James Franco, who not only deserves to be nominated, but deserves to win the Oscar for either Best Actor or Supporting Actor. Either way, he deserves to win one. He really capture did capture the spirit of Tommy Wiseau, who at times is crazy, but shows that he really is human. We really do feel for him, and we follow him along as he trying to make this movie. Dave Franco plays Greg Sestero, and seeing him alongside with James really do feel like that they are best friends, and not make things distracting that in real life they're brothers. Seth Rogen play Sandy Schklair, the script supervisor who claims himself that he was the director of "The Room," and not Tommy Wiseau. He really is just like what audiences would pretty much point out of the flaws that Tommy is making, and he plays it really well too. The rest of the cast all did great. Franco's direction is really well done, and does know how to tell a good story, while getting invested with the characters. The cinematography is shot handheld, but it does give a sense of realism that it feels like real life, and while watching the movie, you feel like that were part of the behind the scenes of "The Room." The movie itself is not only funny, but definetly has a really good message when it comes to film making. I believe does go up there with "Ed Wood," and both of those movies do share similar themes and messages. They both deal with friendship, and have a great message about making movies. Like "Ed Wood," this movie should be shown to the scholars, and to those that are interest in the film making business. I won't spoil the movie for you, because I want you to see this movie and judge it on your own. If any of you are fans of "The Room," then you are going to love this movie. I had a fun time watching "The Disaster Artist," and I am giving this movie a 10 out of 10.
