Reagan Thompson adapted from Raymond Carver’s "When We Talk About Love, What Do We Talk About" Why is it so popular? Ordinary audiences liked it, and the ticket price of $500 was robbed. The caustic female critics of the "New York Times" liked it, calling it the unexpected virtue of ignorance. Let's come to the answers given repeatedly in the movie. At the beginning of the rehearsal, an actor was smashed into the hospital by a lamp that fell from the stage, and they have been in litigation for compensation; the actor Mike Shannon was forced to have an erection on stage by the method of sexual tossing, and YouTube received more than 10,000 views overnight. ; The former "Birdman" performance midfielder wore underwear and ran naked in a New York square. It premiered, and finally blasted off his nose with live ammunition on the stage. The entertainment topic of this crew has never been interrupted.
Female commentator Tabitha Diggins thinks that a celebrity like Reagan Thompson is a Hollywood clown in elastic tights. She hates the kind of person he represents. There is no cultural heritage and no formal training optimists think all day. To create real art, to engage in so-called self-writing, self-direction and self-acting, just like Angelina Jolie of "the untalented spoiled stinky girl" went to be the director (there is no irony here, Just quoted). But in the end, these mean critics also saw the sincerity of this group of actors from "breaking their noses". All the actors have given for this, they like to call this a virtue. Hollywood awards season has always liked this kind of actors to play masochistic methods and acting, like this year's "Nightcrawler" Jack Gyllenhaal and "Theory of Everything" Eddie Redmayne, they do not look at those acting in love Comedy, unless you are Meryl Streep, such prejudices are always everywhere.
So this drama is on fire. This is also the irony of "Birdman". I don't know how to define the genre of this movie. It is not an Oscar essay for the awards season, nor is it an eight-legged essay with a certain type of film formula. But this is exactly the genius of Mexican director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarrido. It should be said that it is an aura of satirical comedy? It satirizes something more straightforward, such as the popular male stars who went to act in superhero movies, such as Robert Downing Jr., Michael Fassbender and Jeremy Renner. The screenwriters have more opinions. Be less prejudiced, compelling, upright and self-satisfied. Do you really think so? I don't think the screenwriters think so, but the whole Hollywood thinks so, otherwise they would not find so many recognized acting and Oscar-level big names to play such sweet popcorn blockbusters. At this time, everyone is not talking about art, but lying down and making money, but there are always people who want to do some art, like why Thompson resigned from "The Birdman 4", so he quickly passed away and got caught. Forgetting, this is reality, and Hollywood reality is so ironic.
"Birdman" reminds people of Olivier Assayas's new film "Sirs Maria". In addition to the play in the play, there are also the actor's real-life performance history and the height of the role in the film. Convergence, drama and film, reality and story, stage and life, are like triple mirror images. The thinking and resonance brought by the narrative text of the play is no longer just a movie story, just like Edward who played "American X-Files" Norton played a methodist actor, and Michael Keaton, who played "Batman", played "The Birdman". You will inevitably think of the real Hollywood. This is exactly the ambition of this film. It seems that if you want to play art in Hollywood, you have to do something serious and self-abuse.
In last year’s lineup of male protagonists, Michael Keaton was the most full-acting performer in this movie. Of course, all the characters in the whole movie were full and all the actors played very happily, thanks to Emmanu. Lubezki’s photography, his long shots are not staggering dazzling skills, coupled with Antonio Sanchez’s jazz drums, in addition to the sense of substitution in the scene, the shots also maintain a high level of emotions and the actor’s performance at all times. For example, what is most easily noticed is that when classical music is played, the lens will be ecstatic, just like the camera loses its gravity, it is just like what the actors say, it’s called into the play. In the play, everything is not a problem, outside the play, what should be reflected, the irony, and the repentance continue. The actor's dramatic scenes, emotional shots and on-the-spot realism are all reminiscent of Thomas Winterberg's back then. "Family Banquet", a bit of a strong feeling of "Duma 95 Declaration". And photography also gives the whole movie a unique sense of form. Of course, this kind of pseudo-long lens is not new. Hitchcock was shown in "Imperial Soul" in 1948, but I will watch it again this year, in Mexico. The innovative spirit of helping the filmmakers still gives the film a sense of immortality, which is both perfect and unique.
Do you now know what "Birdman" is trying to satirize? If you want to create some real so-called art in Hollywood, why do you have to abuse yourself?
