Key Scenes: 

An important scene within "Room" is when 'Jack' and 'Ma' are in the hospital on the bed and 'Jack' asks if he can go back to 'Room'. This is an important scene as the audience knows that 'room' is all that 'Jack' knows. He doesn't see at as a scary and small space like 'Ma' does. because he doesn't know much about the outside world he feels scared and would much rather be back in 'room'. This shows to the audience that the room is going to be the norm and the outside world will be scary for him.

Another important scene is right at the end of the film where 'Jack' wants to visit 'room' to say goodbye. This is an important scene as the audience at this point have seen how he has struggled to cope and fit in to the real world. The audience feel as if he is never going to get used to the world. But the fact that he says goodbye to the room at the end of the film is significant because he has started to move on. Jack then says 'has room always been this small?' this shows that to him 'room' was his whole world, but now that he has been somewhere bigger he comes to realise just how little he knew about anything.

Micro-features:

Performance is important in this film especially for the character protagonist 'Ma' as she has to make sure that 'Jack' is able to live a full life by making up a pretend world for him. She has to create a world where T.V is made on the T.V planet so that Jack feels as if everything is normal and so that he doesn't question why they only live in one small room. At points in the film the audience sees that 'Ma' becomes frustrated with 'Jack' when she tries to explain to him that there is more beyond the four walls that they live in because he doesn't understand as he has been brought up to only know 'room'. The performance is important as although 'Ma' knows that he has to learn about whats happening at some point, but for now she creates a world to keep him safe.
