Abstract

The music of The Room (Tommy Wiseau, 2003) and of The Disaster Artist (James Franco, 2017) is very different in structure and in meaning, but underneath there is an important connection between the two films through it. The release of The Disaster Artist has changed the meaning of The Room totally, and the music plays an important role on this change. Through the analysis of the different music elements, resources and solutions, as well as the analysis of the creative process and the critic and audience reception, I want to demonstrate the importance of the music as a key element in both films.
