I always hear other people recommend the movie "Birdman". I bought it and left it at home for half a year. Because I follow the so-called rule of only watching one movie a week, and because I am afraid of aesthetic fatigue, I finally want to see it today. Fangrong.
At first glance, the title "birdy", if translated as "Birdman" or "Bird Boy", I can still accept it, but the disc is actually printed with "restlessness". After reading it, I became more incomprehensible.
In general, this is a film reflecting on the Vietnam War. Like "Forrest Gump", I like it all. The acquaintance, association, and separation between AL and Bird Boy run through the film. Both of them were drafted into the army at the same time. When they met again, they were in a lunatic asylum. Finally, the freedom that the bird child has been pursuing has been realized here, and he has finally become a bird, an abnormal body in the eyes of ordinary people.
And AL followed everything of ordinary people and eventually became an ordinary veteran. In the lunatic asylum, while trying to wake the bird child back to normal, he was worried that he was mistaken for mad by the military doctor, but during the whole process, was he awakening the bird child, or was the bird child awakening his past? Normal and abnormal, the inner world and the outer world are contradictory and intertwined. Until AL hugged the bird boy tightly and said: "I will never leave you again. We can't adapt to the outside society now. I will always be with you." Maybe this is the ultimate goal of the director --- the war has two children Lost and unable to find myself. Under this anti-war premise, the film shows the conflict and fusion between reality and ideals on a deeper level.
Black pigeon suits, small model airplanes, wing gliders, care for canaries, ```Bird's desire for freedom has reached the extreme, and even the instinctive desire for female sex can't be stopped. I can't forget, the bird child squatted naked on the bedside, looking at the picture outside the iron window, his eyes were angels, innocence, and dreams.
It is worth mentioning that there is a scene in the film where the bird child imagines that he becomes a bird flying in the sky. It's thought-provoking. But there is a scene: AL and Bird Boy help a fat man catch a dog and sell it for money. When the bloody slaughterhouse appears in front of them with blood, they beat the fat man and let the dogs go. When I watched it, I kept thinking about the purpose of this scene. Compared with other scenes, it seemed so abrupt. Only after watching the whole movie did I realize that the society at that time was just like the slaughterhouse? And the bird kids are those dogs that are left to be slaughtered.
At the end of the film, the birdman leaped lightly. Following AL's heart-piercing scream, my heart was raised in my throat. After the camera was pulled down, the bird boy squatted steadily on a platform only one meter high and smiled. At this time, I felt as if I was ridiculed by the director, and suddenly realized that the most perfect story must end with death? Shouldn't it? So many bird children in the world have died, but the director is reluctant to let him die symbolically. If he just died, wouldn’t it be mediocre? Here I would like to sincerely thank the director and the editors in the later period.
In addition, there are two parts of the disc that are not dubbed in Chinese, and those two are just the so-called yellow parts. Are the dubbing players unwilling? I don't dare to belittle myself, if it is, it is really absurd. Haha, I hope it's a problem with the disc version.
