My buddy called The Room a masterpiece and it actually made me think

Last weekend my friend Dave said The Room is basically a perfect movie because it makes you feel something real even if it's confusion and laughter. He argued that most big budget films are forgettable but everyone remembers Tommy Wiseau's weird accent and that ridiculous rooftop scene. It hit different because I always just laughed at it but he made me see there's some weird artistry in how honest the bad acting is. Anyone else ever had a conversation that totally flipped how you see a so bad it's good movie?

Ngl the rooftop scene is actually on a soundstage not a real roof.

Used to think that rooftop looked way too real to be fake lol. But now that you mention it, the lighting and the way the sky looks does seem kinda off. I always figured they actually hauled the whole cast up on some building for that scene. Guess I was wrong lmao. The production design team must be really good to pull that off without it looking obvious.
