The Disaster Artist is a comedy that deals with much deeper themes than one might expect. It is a story of trying to create a place for yourself in a world where everyone is fighting to be seen. At first, I thought this movie was simply poking fun at Tommy Wiseau but it is actually trying to highlight his story while incorporating humour. While I don't think this is an amazing or perfect movie, I was highly entertained.
In the beginning, I wasn't entirely sure how much I was going to enjoy this movie but eventually it began to pick up. The start of Tommy and Greg's friendship was somewhat uninteresting; the movie wasn't anything special until Tommy's vision of a movie was set to action. The chemistry of the actors in the scenes that they were on The Room's set worked very well to aid the movie. The Disaster Artist did an amazing job of almost perfectly replicating scenes from Wiseau's "The Room". Although it may not seem like it, James Franco played a difficult role and truly displayed the full range of his acting skills. I feel that I would have found more enjoyment in The Disaster Artist if I had previously watched The Room and been able to detect the all the references to made to it.
The disaster artist turned a Hollywood joke into an inspiring movie; showing how you can change the narrative on something. It touches on the struggle of finding a job in the film business in LA and how competitive the atmosphere was and still is. The scene in which Tommy was laughed out of the theatre encapsulated how heartbroken he would have felt. However, he managed to profit and gain fame off of his movie even though it was in a different way than he imagined. This movie shows appreciation for making of The Room while finding humour with how bad the movie itself is.
There were a few minor things that put me off during the Disaster Artist that are mostly just personal issues. An example of this is that the movie is meant to be set in the early 2000's but the atmosphere did not feel like this time period. Although it was made more recently and our cameras have majorly improved, it could have been done better. Additionally, the humour did feel somewhat forced at a few points during the movie. In the end, this movie was enjoyable to watch but had a few flaws and isn't going to become a new favourite.
