Scattered Notes on the Film "Birdman"

Because Mr. Su Mu has done a very detailed interpretation of the sub-shots in the book, the following records are my own thoughts when watching the movie:
1. Neat, a lot of use of contrast montages:
Whether it is in the past or now, Al is in Attempts to change the birdman have ended in failure in the past. Now, El is slowly assimilated by the birdman, and he discovered his spiritual trauma from the physical trauma.
Al was injured on the left side of the face. In the play, he was slapped by his father on the left side of the face, and his gesture of covering his face was the same as the bandage wrapped around his face.
2. The tragic atmosphere of the whole movie, although a lot of cheerful music was used, and the birdman's jump seemed to be free in the end, but it didn't actually land, just like Al hugged him and said "We are finished", So the director is seriously pessimistic.
3. The use of the tragic ending of the comedy process, and the same music that appears at this time is also a hint to us, whether it is flying in the garbage dump or catching the dog.
4. String seemingly trivial pieces very smoothly with music.

    The ending song, the subjective flight of a realistic dream, a young man wandering at the door of mental illness, a birdman who has been mentally ill and miraculously awakened at the end of the film. As for whether you should leave the world you are not interested in and go to spiritual freedom, or whether you should go into a struggle and gain a moment of joy in life. Birdman is nihilistic.

    I don't know why, in fact, I have almost forgotten about this film, but I just remember the protagonist squatting like a bird with a lot of feathers on his body, that is, I have a good impression of this film and feel that I like it. This film was watched on TV when I was a child~ (I wanted to give 5 stars, but since I almost forgot, 4 stars first)

Birdy quotes

  • Doctor Weiss: You mean the spitting?

    Sergeant Al Columbato: Yes.

    Doctor Weiss: The army left a bad taste in his mouth.

  • Birdy: The dream is as real to me now as my waking life. I don't know where one begins and the other ends. I wish I could tell Al, but I'm afraid to. In my dreams, nothing holds me down. Everything's out and away. There's nothing in my life to keep me here anymore. I wish I could die and be born again as a bird.
