Of course, we will laugh at a bad movie together. We think, movies that have menginsult our intelligence, need to diinsult behind. We make a silly review, we bully the movie all out, as a form of appreciation towards it. A fair balance occurs. An easy reaction to something ugly. The Room (2003) film made by director and quirky actor Tommy Wiseau is not just a bad movie, he is the most foolish movie of all time. It was so ugly, many liked it. Until now, the film is regularly played by various fans out there. My Dirt Sheet headquarters, ice cream cafe Warung Emergency Bandung, also once muterin once. The result, my spoon ilang eight seeds. James Franco had an idea to cross the film, he collected the crew and they made a story about what happened behind those absurd dialogs and rigid acting.
I gotta be honest, The Disaster Artist is a touching story for me. In the deepest layers, this is the story of a man who is struggling to fulfill his dream. The obstacles he encounters come from within himself; he can not see that not everyone can understand what he is saying. I mean, most of us also must have felt ourselves special, our story ideas are great and original. There are many filmmaker candidates on the street who have a stock of manuscripts that they say is the most fresh and cool story in the world, I know because I am one of them. But what happens when we ngepitch the story to the producer, to the investor? Rejected, ignored, told to change. If I have unlimited money like Tommy Wiseau, I must have made my own movie too. Make my dream come true. Though maybe my movie would be a hundred times worse than The Room. But this is what James Franco wants to say in The Disaster Artist; Do not give up, sometimes we do have to open opportunities ourselves, with the need to remember that there are many ways to connect with others can happen, maybe not as we expect. And that's the connection that should be our goal in the work.
What we can here is actually an inspiring story. James Franco did not make Tommy Wiseau a figure that was obliged to merely execute us. There was something inside him that would capture the hearts of the audience. We'll follow Tommy's journey from when he met Greg at a theater audition. They then vowed to pursue the dream of becoming an actor, grapple in the field of film. Then they moved to L.A. However, things for Tommy did not go as smoothly as what came to Greg. So, Tommy made his own movie. He invited Greg to take part with him in the movie. As we all know, the film does not end properly.
The Disaster Artist is wise enough not to focus on this as a parody, not just laughing at "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!" And the weird bin choices made by Tommy Wiseau when making this movie. Indeed, the phenomenal moments of The Room, how this film ngereka scene to almost exactly, is a prominent part in the storytelling. But at the same time this is a pretty bleak drama, many scenes are intended as heartfelt moment. As a character, Tommy Wiseau learns a lot from the audience reaction he does not expect, and from how he has to deal with people who do not see his vision.
The original Tommy Wiseau is one of the most mysterious figures in the film industry. As also mentioned by the film, no one knows exactly who he is, from where he came from. This Tommy beside the eccentric gilak, he is also very closed. So indeed the charm of this movie is located in Tommy Wiseau, we wonder what this person is like, what's behind his head. James Franco was exceptional in this role as a character, as well as in how he built the story film that made Tommy the center. As director and player, Franco did a very excellent job. The opening scene is effective once introducing Tommy as an enigma. He retains that charm until the end of the film. I think what Franco achieved as Tommy was quite difficult; yes he is very funny throughout the movie, but not just funny because of the silly moments he forgot the script, or he playin the iconic scenes of The Room. Here we see Tommy as a great baseball-very good at his job, and he has a strange way of getting what he wants, but we can respect what he wants to do. For there is a human side given. There is a zeal to be picked up from his non-surrendered attitude even though people do not appreciate as he wishes.
One aspect that trapped me was about how this was a filmmaking. I have a soft side against the films that show behind the scenes of a motion picture business like this. This aspect leads us to the disadvantages of The Disaster Artist. This film actually breaks the Economical Law of Roger Ebert's Spell Character because other characters in the story, played by well-known actors like Alison Brie or Zac Efron or Josh Hutcherson, do not really have characters. They're just there, playing a very competent role assigned - Seth Rogen is also actually quite funny here - and does not have much to do. Though it should be even deeper if we are shown more about them.
This dark comedy movie is very precise when she tries to recreate the scenes of The Room. Right up to the framing and all kinds of strange treatment done by the film. However, if you have not seen the Room before, or have not even heard of it, it will still work great, because this is not necessarily a comedy film that parodies one of the worst films in the cinema industry. This movie has a big heart, the main character feels close. Sure enough, we should be able to see the movie as it should be. As a spectator we can just like, but still have to admit film ugliness. But this is not about the audience. It's about people who have dreams, about filmmakers who are faced with situations where they are not appreciated as expected. James Franco might not have thought, his movie about a film so ugly that it became a cult, it could be the best movie he ever made.
