Hollywood Death

In Hollywood today, two parts of the movie are the hottest: one is a superhero blockbuster led by Marvel; the other part is rushing to major film festivals from the beginning of the year to receive awards, premiering at the end of the year, and finally the Oscar won a so-called art movie. . Birdman, satirize both of these movies. We are familiar with the

media and audience

Hollywood's publicity methods: celebrity effects, entertainment show interviews, weird creation of topics, and personal privacy that is both true and false. Regardless of the fact that the current popular superhero movies cannot escape these, even a serious "quasi-winning movie" must rely on these to win eyeballs. To equip the public with a pair of colored glasses is a necessary homework in propaganda. Regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional, a tacit understanding has been reached between the film crew and the media. The media’s sensitivity is the strongest in this regard, and even gossip can make a film review.
Just like the supporting role in the film is suddenly hit by a chandelier, Norton’s sudden hysteria, the protagonist goes naked on the street, and finally shoots through the nose with a real gun. These emergencies make the drama more attention every time, and people spend more in the theater. It is a kind of "gossip" mentality, and everyone regards this as a kind of "success". It's a success like "interview".

Critics and authorities have

looked at Oscar preferences in recent years: black slaves in "Twelve Years of Slaves", terminally ill patients and transvestites in "Dallas Buyers Club", Thatcher of Alzheimer's in "Iron Lady", and "The King's" "Speech", the stuttering king, "The Theory of Everything" paralyzed Hawking, "The Nightcrawler" is so skinny Jack, "The Imitation Game" very low EQ Turing, etc.... the fringe characters have become the big hits of the performance awards, and they have also made actors. His performance tends to be hysterical. If you abuse yourself miserably, you will get a good comment.
The female critics in Birdman have always regarded the protagonist as a clown, but after the shooting, they called it a "virtuous" actor. Perhaps it is due to an underlying aesthetic, or perhaps it is the fear that continued criticism will be caught by the public and the media as a negative example. As a result, we discovered that the authoritative comment that we have always recognized also possesses a certain "feelings" and even a terrifying "entertainment spirit".
