Through his innocence we are presented the terrible situation in Room. The world is innocent and bright in the eyes of Jack, having fun playing, reading, exercising with his mom and watching TV in Room. Jack’s world consists of his mother, himself, the inanimate objects such as Chair, Table, Rug etc in the room and Old Nick who visits them and brings food. Jack and his mother live in a room which has all the bare necessities to stay alive. Or rather, read the book too, because of the detailed narration through the eyes of a five year old. And I do think it is a brilliant adaptation, so feel free to take the easy way out by watching it. I glanced through the book recently to see whether the movie depicts the harsh realities in the book. But perhaps a review of the book is necessary along with the movie’s release.
Emma Donoghue explores the psychological implications on the mind of a child born and raised in captivity, as a result of which he cannot comprehend the idea of an outside world and a mother’s struggle to escape from their abductor. Room is the story of a mother and child confined to a locked garden shed.
