Based on the novel Daniel Keyes, room full of peopleseries is coming to an end Apple TV+ Starring former Peter Parker. As part of Crowded room we find a colleague Amanda Seyfried, Emmy Rossum, Sasha Lane AND Christopher Abbott.
TRAILER – Crowded room –
Danny and the past he doesn’t remember – Crowded room
At the end of the mini-series Tom HollandTo sum up what the product conveys, it feels like there’s a lot going on in a confusing minestrone, with many ingredients that aren’t mixed. Coming of age, classic age-old theme of pedophilia, mental health. These are the three ways that Crowded room from time to time follows without deciding where to go.
The story is simple and touching at the same time. Danny Sullivan he is a silent and lonely boy, very shy, loves to draw. Looking for a way to fit in and excel in high school hottie, Emma Lairdstarting a secret drug trade.
Things go downhill and he is forced to flee, pursued by the police. But before we get there, cold open Initial leaves us at the mercy of the series for half of its duration. V vision of the future Danny stops to avoid shooting the guy from behind, at the urging of Shashi Lane, Aryan. Here she learns that the man is her stepfather, mother’s companion, Emmy Rossum, gives up and runs away. He is caught and sentenced to a very harsh sentence, possibly life imprisonment. The psychologist is interested in his case ria, who immediately realizes that there is something more behind the attempted family murder.
Several interviews
The series continues like this in many episodes. back shot interview between Danny and his therapist. Alter ego Holland he does not remember anything, and visits to the doctor just serve to reveal this aura of mystery. The narrative here is misleading, initially unstable between telling the present and capturing Danny, but it works either way. Incredibly, the main character is saved by his Israeli neighbor, Yitzhakprobably a former Mossad officer who rents out a house to unfortunate people like Dannyamong which there are Aryan. Always in the form of an interview, through many twists and turns in the story, Holland tries to bring his whole story to the surface. His stay in this house and trip to London to seek refuge from his father. Introducing another character Jack Lambtravel consultant, friend of his father, well-dressed and versed in dialectics.
Beware of these three characters because the hint is aimed right at them. All this, while the stages of Danny’s story turn into coming of age and the emancipation anthem of a boy who wants to grow up. The series attempts to develop Danny’s abuse. Sow this dangerous land with your little brother Adamswho died many years ago, adds the obligation to have sex with an African drug dealer, which describes the character of the stepfather much better. marlin. The real culprit is the protagonist. In reality, Danny has no memory of the abuse, and that is because his mind has created a self-protection of himself in the metaphysical world, namely in a room full of people.
dissociative serial disorder
The series is aimed at everything, more or less from ep. 5, savior, about the many personalities created by Danny’s mind to protect himself from the truth. The crowded room in his mind is a kind of barn/stable where Danny was abused by his stepfather, an event he suppressed by creating other truths and identities. Ariana, Jack Lamb, Itzhak and little Adam himself. They don’t really exist: they are mental representations and extensions that helped Danny grow, fight, thrive in a world of repetitive abuse.
The psychologist realizes this almost immediately and manages to isolate Holland’s image from other imaginary versions in a race against time. Who live off self-preservation, knowing full well that Danny’s recovery means their death.
And, attracted by the ambiguous and symbolic figure of Lamb, they play cat and mouse with Danny, making him sleep and wake up, taking his place whenever they want. Danny is a bad girl looking for casual sex at a rave that Ariana takes him to, now she uses the power of an Israeli to get out of the most confusing situations, now little Adam is being insulted.
Danny’s head clashes with his versions and even the show itself. Ten incomprehensible episodes. What do we really see? Trial drama, antihero trying to become dahmer multifaceted or thinking about mental hygiene?
No plot twist
Series Apple chooses a type of narrative structure that already reduces emotional interest in the story. Danny’s story is told like a long diary of events. in which everything is already predetermined and nothing is tied to suspense and to surprise. It is also clear that in the fourth episode we know almost everything about Danny and that could also be the end of it. We know the general features of his system of abuse, and we intuitively understand its origins and the origins of Danny’s various personalities, divided and rebellious. You just have to understand how Danny will exit the process. Madness or not.
The series aims for more than the story of a psychopath tormented by his own demons. He would like to use serialization as a means to solve the problem of abuse. Not only through Danny, but also through his mother, Candiesplayed by actress, former Fiona from Shamelesswho, although good, is unlikely to be a mother Holland.
abuse of violence
The series tries to revolve around violence not only physics but also psychologicallike how Candy suffers from her husband and how she pretends not to see, hiding her son’s horror. Even when called to testify, Candy chooses to defend herself rather than her son. An interesting passage, if not for a rather fragile solution.
The ending disavows all searches for guilt and the culprit. Through Lamb, Danny rediscovers Adam’s pretense and his painful path to insanity. Everyone gets what they want. But so is violence itself. The real protagonist of the story and the real criminal on the run. Danny is forced to be locked up in a clinic doing therapy and painting while his drunken abuser calls his mother on the loose. The cycle of violence is broken, but without justice. In short, there is no conclusion or penance in the Apple series. Just what it seems. An attempt to make his character unstable and without any possibility of return.
Crowded room makes violence the center and epigome of vicissitudes Danny. Living off too many individual characters on a show is like a crowded room in the main character’s head.
