The room is the whole world. The movie "The Room": comment by a practicing psychiatrist
The film "The Room", the script of which is based on real events, reliably shows the mechanisms of adaptation of mother and child in conditions of prolonged isolation, psychological pressure and physical suffering. In harsh conditions, all the hidden resources of the body are activated to ensure survival. But as soon as the tension subsides, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder increase. The flexibility of the child's psyche allows for faster adaptation to a new reality, and an adult needs support and proper therapy.
