To simply say that birdy likes birds is not so simple. When Nicolas first met birdy, birdy liked pigeons because "they can fly", but in Nicolas's eyes, he may represent the view of most people, he said: "Can fly? So what?" But not, so what? But birdy has already given his soul to the bird. He met his only friend Nicolas, who happened to be willing to do some tricks with him. They built a pigeon coop on the tree together, climbed the overpass and the roof together to catch pigeons, and together they let go of the wild animals that were captured. Dog, they spent money on a broken car together. It's because Nicolas doesn't see him as a weirdo or a pervert that he befriends him. Some people on the Internet also attribute their friendship as GAYS. No wonder Nicolas said when he was talking with the doctor in the hospital, "We are good brothers and have a good relationship, but we are not GAY". In 1984, the two men became good friends , also be sure to clarify, the United States, ah, the United States. Birdy's face is very white and clean, with no stubble at all, especially in the light from the high windows that director alen parker always likes, his face becomes more and more pure and noble, maybe this is GAY Kind of like.
The part about catching the wild dog is the happiest part of the movie. Two good friends went to catch a stray dog with a fat man. The fat man was carrying a large net and approached a dirty Schnauzer on a dirt slope. Suddenly, a bunch of stray dogs came running in the distance. It was very lively. The three of them struggled to catch the dog in the background music, and It's a dog of a different breed. The funny thing is here. The director did it on purpose.
Just watching the crazy plot of the two playing in Philadelphia, it is really fun, the audience thinks so, Nicolas also thinks that some bird-related things for birdy are also for fun and friends, he thinks birdy is a little bit more The behavior and thoughts of Aifei and Aibird are not so strange, just a little strange, not enough to affect the friendship. But that day, birdy gave his soul and body to the bird completely, he united with the canary, he experienced flying in his dream/wake (yes, that flying was amazing), he was naked in a cage; Nicolas Finally got angry, angrily thought that Birdy was hopeless (in fact, Birdy had long been "incurable"), and then joined the army, the canary seemed to be the incarnation of Birdy, it chased out, irreversible, flew back, but Accidentally killed himself (maybe it wasn't an accident, it was suicide?) Birdy, who lost his best friend, was also dead in his heart at the moment, not to mention that he lost the canary in an instant.
Nicolas didn't understand birdy to be with him. Birdy's mother didn't understand him even more. It was more realistic. Only Birdy's father was a little surreal. His father had a good craftsmanship as a carpenter when he was young, but the times changed and he gradually lost customers. It can be felt that his father understands him a little bit. Or maybe his dad just saw Birdy's behavior as a simple dream pursuit.
Birdy also joined the army, went to Vietnam, and witnessed the birds destroyed by bombs, because it triggered the most sensitive and forbearing thought in his heart - to be a bird. To respond to the truth is not to communicate with the human world, and to give up this world.
In the empty white ward of the hospital, he lost his freedom, but he didn't care at all. Nicolas came back injured and wanted to rescue him, and he couldn't let the doctor know the name "birdy", otherwise birdy would be sent to a mental hospital directly. Nicolas did everything he could, only to little effect, making birdy respond a little bit to him, mentally, not verbally, not real. But this is only Nicolas willing to do, and can do it. Nicolas told him about their fun and experience in Philadelphia, and birdy slowly recalled it to himself. The audience could see it, but Nicolas could not see it. In the end, he was extremely desperate, and his emotions broke out-finally he found that he had been abandoned by the world, he was no longer the original him, and he was willing to be with birdy. Hearing this, birdy's subconscious awakened and began to communicate with Nicolas, but only to him. Not enough to be accepted by the outside world, Nicolas, who was angry again, dragged birdy out of the ward and walked to the rooftop...
Nicolas cried and asked in surprise, "How did you start talking?" Birdy said, "I don't know, I just said it.
" The ending is a superb ending, both liked and dreaded. The camera is for birdy, he is standing on the edge of the roof, with his arms outstretched, a back view that intends to fly freely (aka suicide), the backlit light gives him the perfect edge of the body, at that moment, Nicolas desperately shouts "no, In "birdy", birdy flew down... actually it's a good ending, but alen parker is not as ordinary as I thought. When the audience walked towards the edge with Nicolas's eyes, as if they were going to see birdy's body, they found that birdy jumped off, but it was a platform, and the air condensed! birdy turned his head a little puzzled, and answered Nicolas, who was shouting at him, with the most shocking line: "what?"
Then the movie ended.
