An inspiring film to anyone who has dream and ambition

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2020)

I have never watched "The Room" but I have heard of whatever the reputation or notoriety that is said "the Citizen Kane of bad movies". Now having achieved cult popularity, some notable filmmakers in the prologue discussion praise it enthusiastically. It provided me with some guarantee that this story would lead to more or less a happy ending, otherwise I would have had a hard time to watch through the entire disaster Tommy Wiseau would be creating.
I love the first quater of the film where Tommy and Greg become friends. They plunge into reckless of youth, except Tommy's age which he refuses to tell is obviously not so young. Their career future is going to be hard, if not impossible at all. The fact that James Dean was rejected from the industry before his success is encouraging to them. Visiting his car crash site at night, they promiss to "push each other". It is very touching.
After they lost hope to be hired in mainstream film production, they decide to make their own film "The Room". Watching their film making with already knowing the result is not just hilarious, but also exciting. Before long Tommy's incompetence as a director or an lead actor becomes obvious to everyone.
Under the most unprofessional director, the staff and actors still try to remain professional. I will never forget, in a relaxed conversation between the actors, what an old actress told about why she was still acting in this terrible film. For all the difficulties they sometimes have to go through, creating a movie is definitely a wonderful thing.
It is not easy to analyze Tommy's personality. He may not have talent, may not have knowledge, and may not have leadership. He has even reasons to be hated by people sometimes. But he certainly have somthing erupting inside him, something that is hard to comprehend from outside, until it is expressed on a film, unfortunately for him, only to be seen as stupidity.
Hollywood is a place where people pursue their dream and eventually face the harsh reality. Chance of success is, a producer in the film says, "one in a million even if you have Brando's talent." But who decides what success is? Why don't you decide it yourself? "The Disaster Artist" is an inspiring film to anyone who has dream and ambition, featuring the strangest filmmaker the industry ever had, and people who had supported him anyway to the end.
