More than 20 years ago, Riggan Thomson became famous for starring in the Birdman trilogy of the comic hero series, but refused to participate in the filming of Birdman's fourth when he was very popular. Twenty years later, Riggan, who has reached middle age, has long since passed away, and the public is still a "birdman" on his label alone. Due to the entanglement of vanity and conceit, time did not help Riggan adapt and accept the gap in his popularity and sense of existence. He wanted to prove that he was a real artist. He personally adapted a play script, and acted as the director and protagonist himself, which will be staged on Broadway. What the movie shows us is Riggan's experience from the initial production to the premiere. Do you think things will go well? This film is amazing, it is also very jazzy (I just watched Whiplash), and it is one of my favorites this year. As usual, let’s list why it’s good: First, it’s Michael Keaton who played the lead role of Riggan Thomson in the casting and acting role of "Batman" and "Batman Returns" many years ago. Seth Rogan said to Zac Efron in "Neighbors", "Your generation thinks that the real Batman is Christian Bale, and for our generation, the real Batman is Michael Keaton." Experience cannot be copied, by Nolan We are spoiled, it is difficult to buy Tim Burton's style. The name Michael Keaton has gradually faded out of people's conversations after the 90s (the movie he went abroad, it seems that the latest one I have seen is also Jackie Brown in 1997, and that is because of Tarantino). An actor who has played the classic Batman but is "no one cares about" now, come to play an actor who once played Birdman, but no one cares about it now, Keaton so-called true color starred. But there is one thing we didn’t think about right-from director Alejandro González Iñárritu to Edward Norton on the same stage, they all said Michael Compared with the Riggan he played, Keaton himself has completely opposite personality and mentality. Riggan in the movie has no sense of security, but Keaton is very clear about his current position and his direction. If this is the case, Keaton's performance is actually very breakthrough when you have to invest in those panic, desperate, and clueless scenes. In addition to the protagonist, the other castings are also perfect. There are a few supporting roles I want to talk about. This film is not particularly challenging for Naomi Watts. Compared with Keaton playing an exaggerated and deformed self, Watts seems to be acting himself, or acting a "role" he is best at: a non-stop The actress who doubted his rugged career. First we return to the 2001 classic, Mulholland Drive (that David fucking-with-our-dreams-Lynch, right?). In that drama, Diane played by Naomi is an actor who has good acting skills but not much confidence. In the Inside the Actor's Studio interview, Naomi said that she is more like Diane (why "more"?), she said that director David Lynch "triggered the dark side of my heart, and I found that I didn't need to hide it." She also said that self-doubt ("self-doubt") is a good thing for her. I like Naomi Watts, the actor, first because of her great acting skills, and second because she showed me how insecure she looks. I don't know why this will give her extra points in my heart. Edward Norton plays Naomi Watts' bed partner. His role is a superb, but very conceited actor. I guess Watts can realize that she is very similar to her own character when reading the book, but Norton may not realize it at all when reading the script, because Norton himself is such an actor, he may be so conceited that he can't see other people's comments on him. . Director Alejandro González Iñárritu said in an interview that as soon as Norton came and read the script, he began to suggest to the director, "Eh, why don't we shoot this?" "Why don't it be like this!" Yunyun. The director immediately laughed and asked him, "Do you know what you are doing now?" Norton said, "I don't know." "You are doing exactly what your character would do." About Edward Norton's difficulty working on set He has been saying that for a long time, he is not playing a big name, he just values his work and his art very, very seriously, and is not willing to compromise. The following is just a "version" searched on the Internet: when he was filming The Incredible Hulk, after he got the script, he madly added about 70 minutes of dialogue to highlight the depth of the Hulk Bruce Banner. And after Marvel cut them all off, he immediately stopped doing it. After that, Mark Ruffalo played the Hulk in "Reunion", which is also the favorite of most people. (The two actors are close friends in private). The reason for emphasizing is the "online search version", because Gone Girl reminded us that it is too easy to make up by hearsay. And that The "version" of Norton, and his character in Birdman, seem to be carved out of the same mold. Only, no matter how talented this role is, he still doesn't have enough confidence in himself. He can only be literally on stage, and we can still feel his insecure side behind the scenes. I don't know what the real Norton is like. In this film, Norton snatched everyone else's play whenever he went abroad. Fortunately, he said that this film is his most enjoyable creative experience. Knowing the connection between these three main characters and the realistic characteristics of the actors, I have an extra layer of fun when watching movies. At the beginning of the movie (forgot who), there was a line saying who shot him in his mouth, but he didn't die. My first reaction was Tyler Durden. But we're not supposed to talk about it. I still want to be simple Say two actors. Emma Stone plays Riggan's daughter. She is a soul who has had a heavy past, but now she is stunned, but has not lost her burden. Emma Stone’s character is very "Easy A, Sorkin, filming is its own style. Such shooting characteristics not only let us fully understand the characters, but also let us see the hustle and bustle of the Broadway backstage, and color the atmosphere of the movie (when it comes to coloring, the lighting design is also ingenious). Due to the long-shot tracking, the rhythm and tension of the movie is simply suffocating. I was quickly attracted to the dialogue and plot. I forgot to think about "long shots." And because of this, this technical feature has not been reduced to let people. Distraction tricks (this is a subjective conclusion). What's more powerful is that when I watched it, I could clearly see that they must have shouted "click" in some places, but I just couldn't tell where they cut it. fantastic. Third, I have been talking about in-depth themes for a long time, "XX highlighted" and "YY highlighted", and it's time to talk about the theme in detail. But here, most of it is personal understanding. In fact, after reading this, you should have guessed that a major theme of the movie is the extremely thin sense of security of the actors and their "addiction" to acceptance and affirmation. By talking about Keaton, Watts, and Norton, I have given some examples. These actors all have different forms of self-obsession. Keaton kept arguing with his dark side. On the one hand, he wanted to care about the quality of his drama and worry about other people's views of himself as an artist. On the other hand, he sighed angrily, "How brilliant I was back then, you guys are a hairy! Lao Tzu! You can make a fortune by shooting Birdman 4! "But he has already started to do drama, but performing well to complete the task is not enough. He is particularly easy to be disturbed by the outside world to self-confidence. So he keeps thinking about putting on Birdman's costume again, and being loved by everyone again through commercial movies. Watts With another actress, you need the recognition of others and you need to hear compliments to be a little at ease. And Norton, although he has no doubts about his acting skills, he is probably the most obsessed. He only has confidence in the role, but he has no sense of himself. , So all his experience is poured into the performance, he doesn't care about anything else, life in the audience is a mess, no one likes him. Everyone's subtext is "look at me!" Love me! "And as soon as I receive a little light, I want more light. Isn't this what addiction is? The mirror in the movie is a symbol of this self-obsessiveness. This paragraph is short and looks like a spoiler. : Emma Stone’s roll of toilet paper is to help her quit alcohol (or drug) addiction. In the long history of the earth, human beings have only that small piece. And she told her father that the purpose of this roll of paper is to help Father gave up on "Look at me! love me Please! "The addiction. The spoiler is over. Don’t judge others too early. Amy in Gone Girl is also obsessed, Andrew in Whiplash is also obsessed, I think all of us are like this now. The actors are nothing but It happens to be a celebrity again, a representative of the vain and conceited crowd typified by the media. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "things". Who of us really understands actors? How many times have we assigned their roles to them Personally, how much do we like to overinterpret their expressions? "We" is a very general pronoun. I personally feel that young people in the age of social media should be one of the most sickly people, but everyone really does. Not much difference. Compared to Riggan, who doesn’t tweet until middle age, we who talk about new things on Weibo and WeChat and look forward to replying every day are probably better at abducting people’s attention. Those who don’t know Riggan at all will call him Birdman. Those who begged him to take a photo and sign, by doing so, nothing more than trying to fill their vanity, "I saw Birdman the other day! In Keaton's era, this kind of film was not very credible, and people didn't take it seriously, but it was justified. Now is the era where Marvel and DC are fighting each other, and they are fighting for quality and content. Marvel has already gained the full trust of the industry through several high-level films such as "Avengers", "American Team 2" and "Galaxy". The new trailer for "Avengers 2" is also very exciting. However, many people who like movies still sneer at these kinds of movies, thinking that they are all jokes and can only be watched casually. I write like this now, and in my heart I definitely feel that "Mei Team 2" and "Galaxy" are respectively one of my favorite films of the year, but even I dare not predict that they will be nominated for Oscars at the end of the year party. Because no matter how real or serious you make the film, you can't hide the scorn of the absurdity of comic elements by people who don't like this kind of film. So some people always say that comics and movies are so valued now, is it too much? In this environment, shooting this kind of film seems to really reduce your sense of security. People will really say "you are not a real artist", and the more money you make, the lower your status may be. And this attitude, anyone who really loves comics will tell you that it is wrong. This is why Robert Downey Jr. wanted to shoot The Judge. Now that it has been in theaters for so long, he obviously did not get the box office harvest he wanted, and the score of Rotten Tomatoes has also been fixed below 50%. I really want to know what Downey is thinking at the moment. The above is why I want to read Birdman, and a little comment from me. The whole movie amazed me from the technology to the content, which made me feel a little strange, and the ending also made me a little confused. After reading it for a day, I still think about it in my head. This is art, which keeps you thinking. I hope everyone is useful after reading it and put me on the top. thanks. Finally, I recommend everyone to take a look at Halle Berry's two acceptance speeches when he received the Oscars that year and then received the Golden Plum Award shortly thereafter.
