Would it rub salt in the wound of acting in the worst movie ever made?
Would I walk out of the theater with my tail between my legs?
Luckily, the answer was no as I discovered at a recent screening in Los Angeles.
I completely forgot I was watching James Franco as he vanished into the part.
In fact, the reasonThe Disaster Artistis so funny is because Franco never goes for the joke.
I was fortunate to meet both Franco brothers after the screening ofThe Disaster Artist.
Didnt matter I came away thoroughly charmed.
In reality, atThe Roompremiere, people were laughing, but certainly not cheering yet.
In fact, many people walked out ofThe Roompremiere within the first five minutes.
Those who stayed got a delicious treat.
Mostly though,The Disaster Artistis fully committed to authenticity and precision.
BothThe RoomandThe Disaster Artistresonate because, whether we like it or not, we see ourselves in Tommy.
Wait, youre saying that you, me, all of us (artists) were just like Tommy?
But after seeingThe Disaster Artist, I totally get it.
James Franco succeeds in conveying the relatability and the child-like lovability of Tommy Wiseau.
Havent we all sincerely tried for something and failed?
The Disaster Artistmovie is equally sincere, but whileThe Roomfails spectacularly,The Disaster Artistsucceeds just as spectacularly.
Striving to be better, to be more, to be something other than what you are.
And its this striving, depicted so authentically inThe Disaster Artist, that fits Hollywood like a glove.
And now for the plug!
I do other things).
