458 Words2 Pages

My love for books again has brought me the opportunity to see a film of a novel I have recently read. I could not put the book down; luckily it was over a weekend when I started reading! Lenny Abrahamson has brought to life the heart throbbing novel by Emma Donoghue with many talented actors and a real life story of a mothers struggle to gain back a live worth living and manage a young Jack with all the wonders in the world. Room is an incredible film with a real testimony of the strength of family and will power, still with some language and suspenseful story line the film is recommended for viewers 17 and older.
In a world as confusing as Earth, five-year-old Jack (Jacob Tremblay) only knows what little piece that 10x10 ft. Room holds of the world. He was born there, him and Ma (Brie Larson) live everyday inside of room playing, eating, sleeping in bed and watching T.V. until the clock strikes 9pm, when Old Nick comes to visit and Jack goes to sleep in Wardrobe. While Jack thinks Room is home, Ma is a prisoner to Room and wishes to find her way back to her old home with the hammock in the back yard. I felt the sorrow Ma was trying to swallow every time she looked at young Jack and only wished for him to know anything different than Room. …show more content…

While your heart is breaking and beating for the hope that Jack and Ma will find a way to be free from Room and the depression that holds Ma on days when she is “gone”, you can feel a smile on your face whenever Jack is playing carefree or the way he has a name for everything in Room. Jack is a lively boy who imagines everything in wide view, trying to explain the world to him without the whole picture. Watching Jack pieces together the world under his narration, you can see through the real mind of a curious young

  • Carried Away By Munro Essay

    483 Words  | 2 Pages

    Munro’s comparison of a novel to a house that can be explored in many different orders and still be understood for its meaning greatly applies to her own novel, Open Secrets. Munro’s use of the motif of flawed romance allows for Munro to easily create connections between her stories in the same way that hallways create connections in a house. Two of Munro’s stories, “Carried Away” and “Jack Ronda Hotel”, use this motif to great effect in order to progress their plot. In the short story “Carried Away”, Louisa experiences a very rocky love life and never truly settles down with one man.

    1118 Words  | 5 Pages

    Lenny Abrahamson’s drama film Room follows Joy and her five-year-old son Jack and their experiences of living in a tiny room with only so much space. Throughout the film, both aspects of low-key lighting and high-key lighting are filmed in various scenes. These lighting styles indicate both the rough and unstable atmosphere of living in just one small room as well as the freedom of escaping the small room and starting a new chapter in their lives. In addition, both lighting styles also play an important role in the film’s plot and set the mood for the plot by either adding suspense or relief. Room narrates the story of Joy and her son Jack’s lives as they are trapped in a very small shelter that they refer to as Room.

    It is possible to illustrate Jack´s loneliness with the fact that he is in fact talking alone due to that he is talking to his reflection. In order to prove this, it´s important to point out the use of long-shot5 and panning6.The long-shots are, in this case, to show the position of the characters and how they face each other (See Annex 2) which proves again the fact that he is talking to the mirror. The way the character moves, talks and articulates shows his point of attention and the long-shot as well as the small panning in this shot, helps us focus on what the character is doing as well as their facial expression. Moreover, Grady, Jack´s reflection, helps Jack to find a new meaning or purpose o his life, which is to correct the behavior of his family, meaning to kill them. For this, the director uses some point of view shots7 as well as long-takes8.
