Chapter 0, looking at the film and television industry at home and abroad, there is something that has always been criticized but has lasted for a long time:
bad movies.
There are many bad movies, such as poor special effects, urgent actor acting skills, confusing story, messy camera language, extremely cheap costumes and props, or, all of them are available.
The bad movie can be so bad that it can be outrageously bad.
is so bad that it makes people doubt life and confuses why they waste time...
But there is a very strange situation...
Sometimes, even though people know that it is a bad movie, they still have to go and watch it with interest. After watching it, they have to complain to their friends, 'Oh my God! It's really bad, you have to go and see it, beyond your imagination. ’
Sometimes, people watch it very seriously, just to complain on film review websites...
Why do people persist in watching bad movies? Just let it die quietly with a bad movie, why bother yourself?
Recently, US news website VOX has begun to pay attention to this issue.
They studied a love movie called The Room (2003).
(Note: It is not the same as the well-known movie "The Room" in 2015)
How bad is this movie...
For example, search on Google on "The worst movie ever's movie ever'" ,
The Room's Wiktion entry appears in the third...
Search for the corresponding picture casually, and most of the pop-ups of
are The Room's poster, with the "worst" watermark, and the male protagonist's emoticon package...
Even mainstream media can't stand it. For example, the Telegraph evaluated in 2009,
'The Room is the citizen Kane in the bad movie industry (1940 version of "Citizen Kane" was nominated for 7 Oscars) '
or BBC...
'......This movie is not just bad, but incredibly bad. This is the first time people have seen such a rubbish movie since Ed Wood's Outer Space Nine Project in 1959. ’
Under the movie clip on the oil tube, people’s praise comments are like this...
Every line in this movie can give birth to a new emoticon package
This movie should be put in the ‘human archives’. When aliens such as
come to Earth to find human remains, they will regard it as a holy contract given by humans.
um...
So what's going on with the movie The Room-. -?
You may have a rough experience. If you are interested, you can check it out yourself (if your psychological endurance is good)...
It is written, directed and acted by actor Tommy Wiseau.
tells the story of a banker and his girlfriend tangled together in love.
The main content of the story is:
The banker and his girlfriend are about to get married, but the girlfriend complains to everyone she doesn't want to marry the banker, and seduces his friends.
Then other trivial things happen,
Then the girlfriend continues to complain that she doesn't want to marry a banker,
Then other trivial things happen,
and then still doesn't want to get married.
There are also repeated intersperses of bankers being very awesome and great helping banks save a lot of money.
..... I just repeated the cycle for about 90 minutes.
The rhythm of this movie is very chaotic.
Suddenly, the drug dealer shot the banker's friend; suddenly, his girlfriend's mother had breast cancer.
But these new plots were immediately forgotten afterwards, as if they had never appeared before. The whole story continues to revolve around the question of whether to get married or not.
And, the lines in this movie are inexplicable ('like a foreign language that is automatically translated by computer software,' said the BBC).
When a banker quarrels, he will pop up the line like this:
'You betrayed me! You are not a good person, you are just a chick! ! ! Jijijijijijiji! ! ! Jijijijijijiji! ! ! Jijijijijijiji! ! ! ...’ (crazy repetition of learning to crow the chicken)
The scene layout is also very strange, such as the banker's home is full of photo frames filled with spoon photos....
I really don't know why...
But the above are fine, the worst,
is the male lead's acting skills are too poor, so bad...
starring Tommy Wiseau actually wants to act seriously.
He invested 6 million US dollars in this film (higher than other independent films at that time), and filmed it carefully for 6 months. In order to pursue perfection, he changed teams 4 times and withdrew 3 batches of actors.
But his performance in the video... Unfortunately, the picture cannot be expressed...it can be called a disaster.
Tommy Wiseau often speaks awkward lines in a tone similar to a 5-year-old mentally retarded boy muttering himself. His voice sounds erratic, as if he is crazy, and it seems that he just hasn't woken up.
He could comfort the child like a dream in the previous second, "It's okay, it's okay,"
Then in the next second, there was no transition at all. He suddenly scolded with a fierce look: "How can you do such a thing?" ! ’
Sometimes, bankers act very much, and they look like they are hysterical.
combined with greasy long hair, they look more like rock stars...
Other characters are better... but not much better,
They all act seriously and speak lines seriously,
clearly conveys this message to the audience:
' Look, I'm acting. ’
Since the release of this movie in 2003,
has caused a lot of complaints and has won the reputation of the “worst movie in history” enthroned by various media.
'It's so bad, I've never seen such a bad thing! ’
But something strange happened...
A large number of viewers fell in love with this movie, it triggered a weird trend, and more and more people became fans of The Room,
and even celebrities Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Kristen Bell and others were all fascinated and held a movie-watching meeting for it at their own expense...
From 2003 to 2017,
This ancient love bad movie is still released regularly in cities in the United States and Europe every month, and every scene is full...
People can still see its advertisements in the subway...
'Believe me, this is the worst movie you can see in your life', This is its advertising slogan...
Because of his acting skills from hell,
Tommy Wiseau has gained a lot of fans in Europe and the United States...
He treats himself and watching movies as a circus and performs in various places...
Because it is so popular, Tommy Wiseau sells a large number of movie peripheral products, including his underwear series, which is very popular...
In 2017, in order to commemorate the birth of The Room, people also specially filmed a movie telling the filming process of the movie . This is really true love...
So, why?
Why do people fall in love with such obvious bad movies?
The Room research expert Tom Bissell (He said that he had watched The Room more than a hundred times and wrote a book to analyze the movie, which is really an expert.)
In an interview with VOX, the movie
is like an alien director, and it is still an alien director who does not understand the movie at all, but knows what the movie is.
But it is still so hot,
This may be related to people's weird mentality....'To have a right to have a satirical right'.
is a bad movie. If you haven't watched it, you are not qualified to say it is a bad movie.
Only those who have watched it are the real victims. They have the right to complain sarcastically on the Internet and point out all the bad points.
And this part is the focus of watching bad movies, and the pleasure is quite high when it comes to satirizing.
In 2015, researchers from the Max Planck Society in Germany found that
Most bad movie enthusiasts like to watch bad movies just to have the ‘ satirical right ’ (ironic viewing stance),
By analyzing the inferior plot and stupid lines of the movie, they can get great enjoyment...
'For these viewers, they do not regard bad movies as ordinary mainstream movies, but an interesting and non-spoken movie. ’ researcher Sarkhosh wrote.
They also found that these audiences who love bad movies are even smarter than ordinary audiences...
'These audiences are often more educated than ordinary people and are often called 'cultural omnivores'. Because of their wide range of artistic interests, they can not only appreciate high-end art but also enjoy vulgar culture. ’
This somewhat contradictory artistic taste, American writer Susan Sontag also explained:
'When viewing bad works with a sarcastic attitude, it proves that good taste is not just a simple good taste;
It also includes having good taste for others' bad taste. ’
In addition to having the 'sarcasm right', Tom Bissell, who was interviewed by
, also mentioned that watching bad movies in is also to enhance social .
People often have more desire to complain about bad things, including bad movies.
Fresh and hot bad movies are one of the most common topics.
complains about it with people, even strangers can share the same hatred and spurt bad movies together...and then the relationship deepens.
And, there is another point....
Some bad movies are so bad, it has reached the level of funny. When watching them, you can not only enjoy the superiority of IQ, but also laugh out loud because of others' stupidity, and have the effect of a comedy.
Tom Bissell explained:
'The Room movie blurs the line between good and bad movies.
Do I think it is a good movie? No.
Do I think it can bring the kind of touch that art brings to me? Of course not.
However, I can't say it's just a simple bad movie because it's so watchable and so funny! It brings me a lot of joy. How can a work like
be said to be simply bad? ’
These explanations make sense, and
netizens also expressed their opinions...
The Room has this magic because it is so 'very simple'.
Tommy Wiseau is trying his best and sincerely wants to make a serious drama.
All other actors also try their best to achieve the best acting skills that laymen can achieve.
The whole production is very serious, but when creating drama, I use the wrong direction completely. It is perfectly wrong at every key point.
Just as experts say, this film is like a film made by non-human efforts to understand humans.
If this movie has a little self-knowledge and realizes that it has problems, it is just an ordinary bad movie.
This is why Tommy Wiseau can never make such a movie again...
People are just interested in the 'best' and 'worst' things.
The rest of the middle school we never care about...
I watched this movie because it was too bad and it achieved an unconscious funny effect..
Because it was too bad, you can't take it seriously, it was super pleasant to watch it.
Bad movies make people feel enjoyable. One important reason is that they allow you to analyze and distinguish well what is a good movie.
Most Hollywood movies are shot in full, and you have whatever you want, so you forget that there are actually many complicated things when you make movies.
But bad movies can remind you of this.
For example, after a middle mirror, the actor's clothes suddenly change from red to green, and you can realize that the movie was made by a group of people, and people often make mistakes. Then you will wonder why this error occurs...
...
bad movies can allow you to see the film industry from another perspective, and learn how to make good movies through it.
So......
Next time, if you find that your friends love to watch bad movies, don't complain....
Let's watch them together...

Sexual sweetness: But some viewers in our country really can't tell the difference between good and bad movies. For example, after the 4S is released, I really can't tell whether those who brag are serious or navy
i: According to the facts around me, it shows that (roommates and classmates) men like to watch bad movies are generally straight men with cancer, have little knowledge, and like to play Kuaishou. Girls are the main force of Korean waves and young and young domestic actors (note that they are "brainless fans" do not refer to fans specifically)
Youyou Fengshen: What you said seems to be different from what Shierjun said. What you said is that you really think it looks good but like it. What Shierjun said is not really appreciated, but enjoy the pleasure of complaining
PeterAloysiusMooney:hhhhhhhhh I want to watch this room Last time a cinema in London held a special complaint and watched a movie but failed to catch up with
Wen XiaojiJamie:
Qingshui and heartbroken: In order to have the right to have satirical power, how many dramas have I endured?
AdNauseam: There is still a difference between rottenness and assembly-style boredom.
