Room

This was without any doubt one of the best films from 2016.
The performances were espectacular. Brie Larson totally deserved that Oscar and the little Jacob Tremblay has make a path for himself in the acting world.

If you haven't seen Room, you should totally do it. But don't confuse Room with The Room, that is a whole different story. (That one has been catalog as the worst movie ever, but if you want to watch it ironically, oh boy, get ready to cringe)

Going back to the marvelous Room, the scenery in the room looks amazing. At the beginning you can see how Mom and Jack live in that tiny space and how Jack doesn't feel claustrophobic, that small room is his whole life, but for her mother, is the constant reminder that she is kidnap and rape by a sick man that lives next to the shed they call Room.

For seven years that has been her life: a shed with a bed, two chairs a small kitchen, a bathtub, a toilet and a closet where she has to hide her little boy from the night's she's rape by Old Nick.

Emma Donoghue, the writer portrayed that story scenery in her books that is unbelievable because is actually narrated by the little jack, that is only 5 years old. And to think that it was based on a case where the girl was rape by his father makes it worse. If you want more insight about the creepy story that inspired the great book.

I like it.That's why I constantly talk about the last book I read, or the spectacular scenery from the Memoirs of a Geisha.

I can't tell where the love for films began, but I clearly know how the love for a novel started. It was my mom's fault, her constant and pushing passion for books resulted in passing that passion to me, her only daughter. At the beggining it was one of the books from the Chronicles of Narnia: The Boy and His Horse (El Caballo y el Muchacho in Spanish)
 I got to be honest, I did not like the book, and the fact that I, as a six year old had to read it because of my mom, traumatised my childish mind. Thank God my mother soon realised that I wasn't even understanding the plot of the book. And now that I remember, I just know that yes, there was a boy and a horse, for obvious reasons, otherwise the title would be different, and there was another horse named win, I think, they were constantly walking somewhere and maybe there was a sword involved in all that, but that's it.



After that, my mother find a lighter kind of narrative for me...it was Narnia, still, but it was with pictures, and it was the story that everybody knows because of the films: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

It was okay, very easy to read and less painful than the previous Narnia experience. After that, books became a norm for me, something in which I could escape from homework and teleport to another country or world or continent.

The years pass by and then the Academy Awards and E! entertainment television appeared into my life to remain until today. I would watch the nominee movies to judge them to test if those movies were worthy of such renowned prestige and then talk with my mother and aunt about it.

The two passions combined, I would read the book before the film was out or I would listen the critics from a movie to see if the book was actually interesting.

Its amazing how movies and books are nowadays related, and how I enjoy both, one because all the effort it can take to put into screen the vision of someone, from sound, to visuals to the script. And the other because it shows how a well written story or a very successful one can transport you to amazing places that just you're mind can take you.

Sometimes it can turn bad, but there's a lot of work put into those projects, so here, we're going to talk about all that.



Hope you enjoy it as well as we do.
