@darrinsiberia

3 ай бұрын

Okay so I Google'd it. Hmm. Hard to call it a "searing critique" unless you argue that the movie is "a failure." (?) Because as of 2024, hasn't it grossed something like 12 million in sales? It could be said actually, that The Room's quirks and idiosyncrasies owe themselves TO the director (Tommy W.) And without them, there is no "The Room" fascination. The ADR dubbing. The hackneyed weird dialogue that make it dream like and surreal. The unnecessary sex scenes. Like this is Tommy W. rubbing his nuts all over the film so to speak and what makes it so unique atrocious and ultimately successful. So you don't have a searing critique of auteur theory at all! But a prime example OF IT. Your comment is a primary example of someone trying to use fancy words and sound smart online.

You simply can't name another movie that was so awful that it ended up catapulting a guy's career into the stratosphere (compared to where it was) in terms of fame, and has this lasting legacy. It's genuinely shocking, but at the same time, you can't help but feel happy for everyone who stuck it out and managed to get through it. Tommy may be batshit insane, but he is so in a fantasticly perfect way.

Another hint that Tommy is Polish is the infamous line "Keep your stupid comments in your pocket." To "keep something in your pocket" is the literal translation of a Polish colloquialism that means the same as "keep it under your hat" would for Americans.
