A fascinating character study with a surprisingly feel-good moral.

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2018)

The Disaster Artist is a fascinating character study that follows a creator with a vision. And even though we all know that doesn't exactly come to fruition as Tommy intended, you still have to give him credit that he made something uniquely him and that he was brave enough to get himself out there. Tommy's thought process of "if I want to do it, why can't I?" was intriguing to watch unfold. The way he worked, the way he was inspired, and what he thought he was doing for his friend Greg made for a fascinating experience. The drama was well done between the characters, giving them real emotion and a human feeling. After all, this is the true story of a real man. Ultimately, the characters were my favorite aspect of the film. You have the eccentric Tommy and the starry-eyed Greg who both just want to accomplish heir goal of acting. And even if it wasn't as they intended, they still made it. Just as it was said in the beginning about how not even an Oscar winning movie from 10 years ago is talked about this much. They created something that will be remembered and talked about for a long time.
That's something we can all learn from Tommy Wiseau; if you have a dream, you owe it to yourself to go for it. Don't ever let yourself get held back by doubt or what others are saying, be brave enough to express yourself.
