"Scared is what you are feeling, brave is what you are doing"
Movie - Room
Abducted at the age of seventeen and held in captive in a cramped garden shed for past seven years, Joy still had a ray of hope left that one day she will see the world with his five year old son Jack. Jack was told that this little room was the entire world and what he sees beyond the skylight is outer space. People they see on tv are unreal and their captor( his father ) who comes every night with food is not real but magic. Until one day when Joy gathered strength to say an end to this pathetic being and repeated rape and tried to tell her son the reality about the world. With her unwavering efforts she succeeds in somehow breaking out but rather than being happy she fells into the abyss of depression only to be revived back by his son. A boy who till the age of five thought that a small room in which he is confined is the entire world and is finding hard time to come in terms of reality. The whole movie is set through his eyes and perspective, about how even after breaking out he still misses the room, that he still thinks most things about the room is still unreal, that he was more happy when there were just two of them and feels a strange confinement even after getting freed. The story is emotionally sumptuous and left me with tears that have still not stopped ; questions that still lay unanswered ; an ache that lingers so strongly and most importantly a hope that time heals everything.
