    Discovering a whole new world beyond the 4 walls.

    We all know the German folk tale 'Rupanzel', and this is a similar kind with entirely different motive. All the above it is not a fairy tale set in the medieval period, but inspired by many real events of the present era. A couple of years ago I saw a German movie called '3096 Days' based on the true story. When I heard of this movie is being made, at first obviously I remembered that title, but after seeing the poster alone convinced me not the same. Automatically the expectations rose, and now it's got the 4 Oscars nominees, including the best motion picture.

    The both halves of the movie were entirely different from each other like the two sets of story, but the core of the theme r...

    "I want a different story!"

    That line and the scene it's taken from is quintessential to what this movie is about at least to me.

    To me, this is so much not about being abducted and trapped in a room but about the apparent pointlessness of being, about coming to terms with it and understanding and accepting that any meaning that is to be found, comes from within ourselves.

    Jacob Tremblay is really good in this curious, and slightly claustrophobic, tale of a young lad "Jack" who lives with his doting "Ma" (Brie Larson). Nothing odd about that, you might think - well, except for the fact that thus far in his short life, "Jack" has never actually left the room in which he lives. He eats there, plays there, sleeps there - he knows nowhere else. As he ages though, he begins to get itchy feet and his mother finds it more and more difficult to contain his enthusiasm for finding out what is going on outside. What also emerges from their scenario is that "Ma" herself is not exactly free to move about. She was taken by "Nick" (Sean Bridgers) many years earlier and it soon becomes clear that he is likely the father of t...

    Adapted from Emma Donoghues novel, Room tells a harrowing yet powerful story of captivity and survival, brought to life through compelling performances by Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. While the emotional depth in the confined space feels rushed, the film finds its strength after the characters escape, revealing layers of trauma and resilience. It reminds viewers that evil can exist anywhere, urging vigilance and empathy.
