After watching this film, I didn't think about such profound things as war, human nature, philosophy, etc. I just thought that my mind was full of images of two young people playing together, which was quite interesting. In fact, I don't quite understand why Al became good friends with Birdy. Al is happy, absurd, rash, and has endless energy. He fights, plays ball, picks up girls, and participates in everything; and Birdy, who doesn't fit in well, is a bit self-indulgent. Shut up, he is only interested in birds. From the public's point of view, this person is a bit perverted, so he is nicknamed Birdy (aka Birdy).
Al and Birdy became friends because of a fight. During the fight, Al was surprised to find that Birdy could still wrestle, so he became interested in him. Then Birdy told Al that he liked pigeons and wanted to train them to be homing pigeons. Al initially disagreed, but a kid said, "If you can really train them into homing pigeons, I'll buy one and bring the others. People will buy it." Al joined Birdy's bird training with great interest. To train pigeons, you must first have pigeons, so Birdy took Al to climb to the top of the bridge to catch birds. The funniest thing is that Birdy actually made two bird clothes and said that the pigeons thought they were one of them when they put it on. Al started to say no resolutely, but when the camera turned, on a dark and windy night, two guys were wearing bird clothes to catch birds, and Al was mumbling as he ran. There was an accident while catching the bird, Birdy fell from a height, Al held his hand nervously, but Birdy laughed: "You look so serious." Then Birdy flew down, and Al rushed to Holding him on the mound, he said, "Should we find someone to help?", that scene really looks like a lover. Later, the police uncle came, Birdy was taken to the hospital, and Al was outside telling an old woman with a broken arm about his friend's injury, still wearing the bird clothes! Just because of this, Birdy's mother burned their cages and drove the pigeons away.
Later, the two also bought a broken car, and the broken car was registered by Al's father and sold it. At this time, Birdy showed extraordinary courage. Al's mother finally couldn't help but take some money back to Birdy, and Birdy shoved one of them to Al and said, "You have a share of the car, too." This made Al quite embarrassed.
There is another scene that is quite funny, two people are exercising, Al is standing on the side lifting dumbbells, while Birdy is lying on the ground practicing bird flying. Birdy also made a pair of wings for himself, and on a sunny day, Al accompanied him to a junkyard, and Birdy was ready to take a test flight. The picture of Al riding a bicycle with Birdy taking off is really touching. What a wonderful thing to have a friend by your side who is willing to accompany you crazy! As a result of the experiment, Birdy fell into a puddle, and Al yelled to retrieve him.
Al took Birdy to the beach. Birdy, who had never seen the sea, was very happy. Birdy held his breath in the water. Al was on the shore and counted "one Mississippi, two Mississippi...", and later Al counted 16 Mississippi River, before Birdy came up, Al panicked a little and called out, "shit, I can't swim!" Of course, Birdy was actually fine.
When Al and Birdy went to the playground to play, Birdy wanted to play again, but Al was looking after the girls and ignored him. Later, Al made out with a girl, and Birdy sat quietly with another girl. Suddenly, Birdy lifted up. I got up and said to the girl, "I just held my breath for more than two minutes. Would you like to try it?"
In order to get some money, two good friends and the fat man went to catch wild dogs, which seemed to come from a dog for a dollar. That scene was also quite interesting. The fat man was holding a big net and approached a dirty Schnauzer on a dirt slope. Suddenly, a bunch of stray dogs came running in the distance. They were dogs of different breeds. The child is lively, and in the background music, the three of them are struggling to catch the dog, and they are not happy! It's just that the dogs were finally sent to the slaughterhouse. When they saw the scene there, they were scared, shocked and angry, and released all the dogs they caught.
Later, Birdy's obsession with birds became more and more serious. He married the little yellow bird in a dream, and even stayed naked in the bird cage. Birdy said, I want to be a bird in the next life, and Al finally Angry, angry that Birdy was hopeless (in fact, Birdy was already "incurable"), and went to the army. When Al left, the little yellow bird seemed to be the incarnation of Birdy. It chased out, and when it flew back, it accidentally (or deliberately?) hit itself against the glass window. In an instant, Birdy lost his beloved little yellow bird and his only best friend.
Birdy also joined the army. On the battlefield in Vietnam, witnessing the destruction of people and birds by bombs, Birdy is crazy, or he is pretending to be crazy. He was protesting silently, and he condemned: The world of people is too absurd, I have nothing to say to you, not only do not speak, but I am also not a human being, I will be a bird. So he looked at that window day and night, and wanted to fly away from this absurd world day and night. until Al came.
And Al, who destroyed half of his face in the war, was angry, confused, and didn't know how to face himself under the bandages. Al kept talking to Birdy in the hospital, but Birdy never spoke. The fat doctor finally got impatient and wanted to drive Al away. Al ran to the ward and hugged Birdy and said the following:
"Birdy, We're both finished. We never took our own lives...I felt like we were dogs no one wanted, remember?...When the cannonball hit me in the face, I could smell the burnt meat, I couldn't Touching the wound, why don't you know what you look like, it's still not me under these bandages, or the appearance of an army butcher... Shit! What's so good about their world! We'll stay here and not go, you're right, We just hide here and don't talk to anyone, go crazy, climb walls! Spit! Throw them shit!"
"Al, sometimes you're a real bullshit."
"Is that you? You talked. Really It's you! I can't believe it, say something else. I can't believe it's really you. How did you decide to talk?"
"I didn't decide, I don't know, it just happened. You need me, Isn't that right?"
Then, Al happily overturned the medical staff, dragged Birdy and ran to the rooftop, just when Al blocked the door, the camera moved to Birdy, he stood on the edge of the roof, stretched his arms, The back of the deputy who planned to fly freely (that is, commit suicide), in Al's heart-rending shouting: "NO, Birdy!", Birdy flew down. I believe that the mood of the audience was quite tangled at that time. When we walked towards the edge with Al's eyes, as if we were going to see Birdy's body, we found that Birdy jumped off only a lower platform. At this time, Birdy turned his head and asked innocently: "What? "
I remember, every time Birdy had an accident, Al tried to save him like the sky was falling down, but in the end, Birdy strode over every time, and Birdy was all right, wasn't it, just like the last one" what?", the feeling is: you've been tricked again.
