Tom Holland was born in Surrey, England, and gained some popularity in 2008 for his role as the protagonist of the musical "Out of My World" Billy.
After that, Tom Holland played the third-generation Spider-Man Peter Parker in "Spider-Man" and "Captain America 3: Civil War", and the nickname "Dutch brother" also gradually spread along with his new Spider-Man identity.
In the play, he transforms into a superhero and falls in love with "Emmy Award-Showback" Zendaya at public expense; Outside the play, the combination of "Dutch brother" and Zendaya is known as a typical representative of female A and male O.

Child star Zendaya won the second "Emmy Award" with "Hyper", and also participated in the epic movie "Dune", and the film and television resources and fashion resources were soft.
On the other hand, the "Dutch brother", who did not know Almodóvar and Alpacino, was ridiculed by the group as a "desperate illiterate" in the film and television industry.
To a certain extent, in the eyes of the academy, Marvel movies cannot even be called movies, let alone the only Spider-Man identity of "Dutch brother".

As if to dispel the audience's doubts about him and prove his acting skills, "Dutch Brother" took over the difficult adaptation of the drama "Crowded Room".
Based on Daniel Keyes' non-fiction novel 24 Billy, "Crowded Room" focuses on Billy Milligan, the first person in American history to commit a felony but be acquitted of mental problems with multiple split personalities.
He has as many as 24 personalities, and different personalities can even talk and control each other.

In addition, the play also stars Amanda Seyfried, one of the four little flowers of Hollywood, and Amy Rosen, the eldest sister from "Shameless".
Interestingly, 36-year-old Amy Rosen is a mother to "Dutch brother" in the play.

After completing the filming of the play, "Dutch Brother" said that the show's exploration of psychology made him almost collapse, and he needed a year to calm his emotions.
What kind of story makes "Dutch brother" have such big mood swings? How will the series show 24 personalities? Is the so-called year of shadow rest a "Dutch brother" hypocrisy, or is it really necessary?

The Crowded Room
Spoiler alert
Danny Sullivan (Tom Holland) is a pure-looking ordinary high school boy who tries to buy marijuana to create his cool kid image in order to attract the attention of transfer student Annabella (Emma Laird).

Friends Mike and Johnny thought of a good way, Danny stole $100 from his stepfather's card as the principal, Mike and Johnny were responsible for contacting the seller and negotiating follow-up business.

With the cooperation of the three, they managed to buy 30 grams of marijuana and also got Annabella's attention.
Danny's attempt to reach out to Annabella arouses the upset of her boyfriend, who reports Danny to the school about Danny buying marijuana.
At the same time, the stepfather also discovers that the money in his bank card is missing, and confronts Danny's mother Candy (Amy Rosen), a family dispute is about to break out.
Expelled from school and abandoned by his family, Danny was also blocked on the side of the street by Annabella's boyfriend and beaten up.
Suddenly, Yitzhak, a mysterious man living in the so-called "haunted house", appears and saves Danny, who is in a desperate situation.
Yitzhak from Iraq, with his fierce appearance and strong body, took in the cornered Danny and allowed Danny to live in his house, but only if he obeyed some rules, including no partying at home, no sex at home, no weapons in the home, etc.

Not only Yitzhak lived in the "haunted house", but also Ariana, another girl he took in.
During his time with Ariana, Danny discovers that he and Ariana have similar pasts and pains.
Every night, Danny could hear Arianna crying, and despite trying to be friends with her, Ariana's closed atrium refused to open for Danny.
(Arianna and Danny)
Until one day, Yitzhak goes out, and the disobedient Danny throws an unallowed party in the "haunted house".
At midnight, Annabella kissed Danny's lips lightly, Ariana at the door just passed by, and also joined the interaction between the two, seeing the active and lustful Ariana, Danny took the initiative to quit and extinguished the trend of 3P.
Danny couldn't understand that Arianna could have sex at will, but couldn't trust herself.
Under the temptation step by step, Arianna finally confided the reason why she could not handle the intimate relationship: she was sexually assaulted by her father's friend since she was a child.
Ariana's experience made Danny feel extremely familiar and empathetic, because he himself had a similar experience, once cowardly he could not protect himself, now he decided to protect the girl in front of him.
Danny gets a pistol and plans to scare the rapist with Ariana, but when the rapist they are tracking turns back, Danny suddenly discovers that the person who sexually assaulted Ariana is actually his stepfather.
Danny, who was quickly captured by the police after trying to escape, always declares his innocence, Arianna is nowhere to be seen, and the interrogator Leah (Amanda Seyfried) tries to figure out everything that is confusing.
Combined with the original work and the synopsis, it is reasonable to guess that many of the characters who have appeared before are actually different personalities of Danny, including his companion personalities Jack and Johnny, protective personality Yitzhak, female personality Ariana, and the new personality Jack who appeared in the fourth episode.
Interrogator Leah has been talking to Danny, the master, trying to understand the cause of the shooting from his perspective and helping Danny realize the truth of the matter.
As of June 20, "Crowded Room" has aired 4 episodes, with a comprehensive score of 49 points by MTC media and a Douban score of 7.1 points.
The procrastinating pace and failed narratives of serious issues are all reasons why it has been criticized by film critics.
In addition, more doubts are still aimed at the acting skills of "Dutch brother".
Considering the difficulty of presenting 24 personalities in film and television, the series should reduce the number of personality appearances, and if "Dutch Brother" plays multiple roles alone, it will inevitably be a huge challenge to his acting skills.
But the director did not take this extremely challenging approach, but chose different actors to play Danny's different personalities, which enhanced the differentiation and weakened the authenticity of the plot interpretation, which is also the reason why many audiences are unable to bring in different personalities.
For example, in the second episode, Arianna was molested while walking on the road, but according to the setting, this person is actually Danny, how does the interaction between women being molested by hooligans under the stereotype happen?
There are many logical bugs such as this, although "Crowded Room" is a good theme, but the practice of choosing different actors to play different personalities is to pay for the inferior acting skills of "Dutch brother"? Or is it the director's ingenious and deliberate arrangement?
"Dutch Brother" revealed when promoting "Crowded Room" that he will temporarily leave the show business and retire for a year.
Because the themes discussed in the series are too deep and heavy, the actors are psychologically frustrated, which can't help but remind people of the same Spider-Man "Garfield" participated in the series "Under the Banner of Heaven" last year.
As far as the current plot is concerned, although the Dutch brother said that it was "a difficult time", his interpretation in "Crowded Room" is far from the point of collapse.
Is it the Dutch brother really can't do it? Or the follow-up plot is too perverted, we'll see.
