Plot:
ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical--they are trapped--confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has euphemistically named Room. Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.
Trivia:
• Brie Larson claimed that she avoided washing her face during filming, to really make clear on-camera that she was not wearing makeup.
• 'Old Nick,' the name of the antagonist, is another name for the Devil in Christianity, dating back to the mid-17th century.
• In several interviews, the author of the book on which the movie is based has said the story is not based on any specific real-life case.
• Although Joy tells Jack that his long hair is a source of strength for him, the real reason that both of them have very long hair is that their captor doesn't groom them or let them have scissors or any sharp implement that that could be used against him.
• While they are still in the hospital, a doctor tells Joy that she is lucky to have gotten Jack out of captivity while he is still "plastic." In psychology and child development, "plastic" (more commonly called 'plasticity') refers to a child's ability to learn, develop, and recover from trauma. Neuroplasticity, specifically, would be vitally important in ensuring Jack is able to successfully interact with the larger world. Humans of all ages, we now know, have varying degrees of neuroplasticity.
Goofs:
• When Jack rolls out and he is lying on the rug looking up. The rug goes from having a large fold in it right beside his head, to completely flat, to having the large fold again when he gets up.
• When Ma's tooth falls off and hands the tooth to Jack, the apple in his hand goes from his right hand to his left hand.
• When Nancy and Jack get out of the car from grocery shopping, between cuts her purse changes back and forth from being held over her shoulder, to in her hand a few times.
• When Jack is cracking eggs waiting for Nancy to wipe egg off his hands, the whisk in the bowl disappears out of the bowl without being touched, in fact is not visible on the table at all.
