This is a philosophical film that asks and answers questions about life. A good film is like this, it doesn't say anything, but your thoughts are raging. It has a simple picture, but it keeps you warm.
Nicholas Cage, I like him, he is not himself, he is anyone in any film, omnipotent. Cage was just as fascinating when he was young, even though he was only 20 years old.
They know each other and love each other (please allow me to say that). Together they brought their crazy youth to the fullest. They have turned their dreams into reality in every attempt, short and happy.
Flying is not just flying, it’s about wind, sky, and freedom, just like dreams are not just dreams. It is a life, a posture, a thought, and a noble thing, although it will eventually lead us towards Death, it’s okay to keep a little memorial, dreams quantify life, and flying makes the reality under the eyes dirty and ridiculous.
There are two ways to treat grief: looking up at the sea and looking at the lights from a high place. The former makes the viewer small and sad, and the latter makes the reality feel ashamed. Looking at it, you can tell yourself, and everything is empty.
What is the rule of human beings, madness or realness, or neither realness nor madness, we just drift and stray, bump and bump, approaching reality in countless madnesses, Birdman is a cute lunatic, who likes to see his loving hands Holding a bird, I like to see him spread his wings in the camera, like to feel the air and town when he is flying. Healthy, natural and warm birdman, if this is a kind of madness, I would like it to be immortal.
Birdman said to Al, "I don't know what to say to them." They are the real world.
Birdman said, "What's so good about their world, we still stay here and don't go out, we don't talk to anyone, and often go crazy." (It turns out that going crazy is an attitude against hypocrisy)
Birdman and El are actually two sides of human nature, like Brad and Norton in "Fight Club", comforting each other. Heart-to-heart.
This is a philosophical film that asks and answers questions about life.
A scene is unforgettable. The bird man returning from the dance enters the big cage in the room naked and begins to enter the state of a bird. The picture is clean and peaceful, with the white moonlight in the dark, and the man’s pale and blurred face. As my eyes get closer and closer, I know that silent and huge changes are coming. . .
The war has made reality more unbearable. Birdman’s innocence finally perishes. He is speechless, and all his behaviors are unified into a bird’s curling up, resisting, and isolating. Finally, he is completely mad.
We always come to discuss the meaning of society, society, a word that I hate extremely, society defines everything about human beings, thinking about our state, a normality that can be accepted by society, can make people suppress crazy thoughts. We never have the courage to be like bird people. In fact, Birdman is exactly the same as the current depression, looking at the world through the glass in a hurry. They are the real wise men.
The final ending also makes the rhythm of the film perfect. Birdman's jump is not the abyss, but the land, Cage has a surprised look, the birdman smiles, and the cheerful music plays, welcome home, dear Birdman.
Another: He has never known that the director of The Wall is him. I want to remember his name, Alan Parker.
Also: I always thought that Birdman was a curse, but now it is extended to a madman with dreams, a cute madman.
