    Room is based on the novel of the same name by Emma Donoghue, which is inspired by the real Fritzl case in Amstetten, Austria. The real incident is a lot more horrifying, and the abuse is done by a family member for over 24 years, with the victim bearing seven children during her captivity.

He was very obsessed with her since she was little and the whole reason he trapped her down there was bc she wanted to move out. He only got caught bc one of the seven kids got really sick and she begged him to take her to a hospital. It's a long and horrific story with so much to go into. Christina Randell goes into it very well.

    What’s terrifying is that it’s inspired by the real-life case of Elisabeth Fritzl. Her story is so horrifying and so is the thought that many women all over the world live this way. It also reminds me of the Ariel Castro kidnappings, he kidnapped and held 3 women captive for YEARS, he also r@ped them and had a child with one of them. He was sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison, but killed himself a month later.

    • @MARYWTHER
      @MARYWTHER Před 3 lety +9

      And yknow for the Ariel Castro one, how his first victim was like his martyr. He kicked her so she'd lose her babies, he gave her a puppy just to kill it several months or years afterwards just to break her spirit. How once, she lost her child pretty late in the pregnancy and he showed her her dead baby and guilt-tripped her for the death of the baby. He would allow her to watch tv so that she'd see that nobody was looking for her (because her mom is a bitch and thought her daughter had run away and didn't do ANYTHING, contrary to the two other girls' families). All of these three women had such different relationships with the man, it's such an "interesting" case on a psychological point of view but it's just so sad and it's so crazy that human beings can be so vile and cruel and feel no remorse doing things like these to others. (and to think NEIGHBORS saw the girls and did nothing. And the ones who did, like report screaming coming from the house, were never listened by the police... it's just such a waste, this whole story). Michelle Knight was held captive in this house for 18 years, imagine the damage. And yet, barely anyone speaks her name now. Truth is, in the perspective of the movie as I interpreted it and as I feel Joy interpreted it, Jack was starting to be in real danger. I feel like Big Nick would have gotten rid of the child at some point because he was too noisy and started "affecting" his """""comfort""""" with Joy who was much more submissive already. So the part with the journalist is actually one of the most interesting ones: because without Jack, she would have never dared doing the moves that saved her life. She did it because she felt her son was in danger, and for no other reason. Just like, tbh in the Ariel Castro's case, Amanda Berry's daughter is literally the main reason these girls are free today.
      Room is incredible because it delved into trauma and Joy and Jack's personal experiences. It doesn't show Big Nick being arrested, it doesn't show the trial, because that's not "what matters" in the story. That's the sensational part and that's not what the story wants to talk about. It takes its time, building all the characters' emotions, from their fear when they prepare their escape, to their adrenaline-rush like joy at the moment, then the afterwards. The anger, the sadness, the "I should feel this but I don't" part of the journey. I've never really seen or read about kids being born in these conditions, testifying about how they've grown up once they were freed from these environments, I hope one day one of these real life children will get to express themselves, maybe it could help, but the way the movies does it is just really touching. I also really love how the movie portrayed the parents. Happy, but not flawless. These seven years, they've suffered through it too, and the dad not being able to talk to Jack or "love" him at first is such a flawed but real thing: how do you deal, it's your grandson yes, but it's the son of the man who r*ped your daughter. The grandma was so nice and compassionate, but also Joy's resentment towards her parents is so legit. I mean, everything felt so raw and real in all of this. I've watched this movie once because it's "too much" to handle, but it's a movie that sticks with you. And the whole thing is a matter that is not explored enough: take the case of Colleen Stan, how there are people out there who actually believe she was WILLINGLY staying with her kidnapper/abuser...

      @@MARYWTHER Forgive the late reply, but the same way Joy probably felt Jack was in danger now that he was getting older and inevitably more of a threat, she also intuitively knew it wasn't safe to trust Old Nick to bring him to a hospital like the interviewer suggested. Jack is living evidence of Old Nick's crimes and it would've been easy for him to simply eliminate the risk of someone potentially discovering who Jack's parents were.

      It was less her acting talent and FAR more that literally none of the cast and crew with the half exception of Samuel l. Jackson liked her AT ALL.
      Watch any interview with her and any cast member. More than once she was hit with eye rolls, "don't touch me's," and awkward laughter. She was a big fan of running her male coworkers (superior actors to the rest of us) into the ground. She was VERY outspoken about Marvel fans being incels, and got mocked mercilessly by the cast and crew ON CAMERA for claiming she was the only Marvel actor that did her own stunts.....a LIE.
      Let's not forget that when she won an Oscar from some feminist movie she didn't thank anyone........just got up and bad mouthed male movie critics and male audience members.
      They had to use her as little as possible. The cast insisted and the fans made clear she was not welcome in that phase. NOBODY wanted Brie Larson to RUIN 5je largest film series endeavor in history. She showed up 3 movies before the end of Thanos' plot line and damn near ruined EVERYTHING.

      @@95Silvan no literally. I remember being the only one in the theater, because they have $5 Tuesdays & it wasn’t a big blockbuster so no one was there. I had a full on existential crisis that day 😂 I’ll never forget it. I walked out of the theater, tears streaming down my face, mascara all over, and the theater worker with their dustpan holding the door for me as I walked out like “are you good?” 😂 and to that worker, no I was not good. Hahahahahaha

    The questions the interview asked were absolutely uncalled for. Joy kept him safe and out of "Nick's" eyes for the majority of his 5 years. He SURVIVED for 5 years. What would happen if she asked "Nick" to take him to the hospital? There is no guarantee he would be safe. NONE. You are asking a survivor the worst case scenario when they have PTSD. Her mother should have stepped in the second her questions got out of line. The lawyer spoke up once. WHY DIDN'T HE DO THAT WITH THAT QUESTION AND JOY'S OBVIOUS DISCOMFORT.

    William H. Macy and Joan Allen (the parents) also played husband and wife in “Pleasantville”, highly recommended if you haven’t seen it already. Also stars Tobey Maguire as well as Reese Witherspoon and Paul Walker early in their careers.

    I wish we had more people like you in the world, Nick. Compassion like yours is becoming increasingly rare and it’s so great to see it hasn’t disappeared completely. This movie is super intense and I knew it would affect you deeply. As others have mentioned, Brie Larson earned a MUCH deserved best actress Oscar for her performance in this film. She has mad skills and I think she is so often underappreciated.

    Usually I’m not a „cryer“ at all but this movie broke me. I was crying 90% of these 2 hours. This movie is so dramatic and unbelievable hurtful but at the same time the tears came for happiness I felt for them and for their strong bond. It’s just so heartbreaking. My tears are rolling again just by seeing your reaction...

    I remember I watched Room as a surprise pre-release in my local cinema. I was just sitting there pressing my thumbs that they somehow make it out of there.
    I live in Germany and a few years earlier, in 2006, we had a real case like this where Natascha Kampusch was trapped for many years like that somewhere in Austria. Her story is shown in the movie 3069 Days, if someone is interested.
    That is the real tragedy behind movies like this. You can pretty much say for sure that all the sick stuff shown in movies has happened or is happening somewhere around the world to someone.
    I can only thank the guy with the dog who grasped the seriousness of the situation and called the cops when Jack was screaming for help.

    I could never watch this movie because I already knew what it was about, being based off of a true story, (and unfortunately many other true stories) and is really triggering for me. But I was able to watch it through your reaction. Thank you.
    BTW- that interview is a prime example that at the end of the day, the blame is always placed on the woman and the mother. The bar for women is crazy high compared to how it ever will be for men. This movie was based off a book that mirrored a real case where a woman by the name of Elizabeth Fritzl who was kept in a dungeon inside her childhood home by her father at the the age of 18. She gave birth unmedicated to 7 children, one who did die shortly after birth. She was finally free with her children in her 40’s.

    I read this book in highschool and it was so good, the entire thing is from Jacks point of view, and I was worried when I first watched the movie it wouldn't be good, but it really is a wonderful adaptation. It captures most things from the book perfectly. The way they film the room, Jacks entire world, then at the end when he sees exactly how small it was, such perfect closure.
