      Delusions and Anxiety After Breathing

      The film is adapted from a novel by Philip Ross. Al Pacino found a similar experience to himself in this novel, so he bought the copyright and hired Barry Levinson to direct it. A slightly more experimental stream of consciousness film.

      The so-called experimental nature is to oppose mainstream commercial films. In this film, Simon played by Al Pacino is an out-of-date actor. His long-term stage performances and the anxiety after being out of breath have caused him to suffer from a...

      Tailored

      In recent years, Lao Pa and some of his buddies have made a lot of works with obvious personal labels, which are basically tailor-made for him, and this one is no exception. Although it is based on a novel, this story was chosen. The premise is that Lao Pa found his own shadow in the protagonist's experience and felt the same.

      The overall style of the film is literary, the rhythm is slow, and the plot is dull. Compared with ordinary commercial films, it is difficult for people to...

      Pacino's stage play

      The last time Mr. Pacino gave me a shocking performance was in Doctor Death, a TV movie also directed by good friend Barry Levinson. But this time, there is nothing outstanding to talk about, and it is quite satisfactory; Greta Gerwig is not even a little bit worse, what is the image of the extremely disobedient sister next door? The whole performance seemed to be participating in an interview, but unfortunately she didn't have the courage to step out of the comfort zone of her...

      Barry Levinson's Second Movement of The Marginal

      Taking this film and "Birdman" together is an unfair comparison, even if the two films are so similar.

      "The Humbling" came out around the same time as "Birdman." Both films were planned for shooting in 2013 ("Broadway Diary of a Mature Man" was shot faster, only took 20 days to get the first call card) and premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August 2014 and then released. The plot of the story is also very similar: the protagonists are all out-of-date movie stars, and they all...

      No matter greatness or failure, there is no escape from humbleness

            "Birdman" is a popular commercial film that combines magic and comedy elements. "Low into the Dust" is a niche literary film mixed with homosexuality, year-end love, and a sad atmosphere. However, the themes and content of the two films are quite similar. Facing each other across the air, the protagonists of the two films, Michael Keaton and Al Pacino, are simply a pair of brothers and sisters who share the same ailment and encourage each other.
             In contrast, "Birdman" is...
