Seeing this, I feel that Riggan is not easy, not only that he is not easy, but the type of actor he represents is not easy. In the society of watching faces, when there is a face, he blushes, so he is ruthlessly labeled as an "idol." The label of "", even if you work hard, even to the point of self-harm, you can’t get rid of that label.
While gritting his teeth and scolding labelling, he found that the director was actually using labelling to represent each role in the play.
For example, the opposite of him is the acting school represented by Mike, the darling of the critics, talented, conceited, and even a little disregarding the feelings of others. The actresses Lesley and Laura, who are on the same stage with them, have been in obscurity for a long time but are working hard. That Mrs. Dickens, who always held a pen and paper in the bar and sent everyone to heaven or hell, was like a witch who shut herself in a strange cabin. That daughter SAM who grew up but whose wings were broken. Jack, the manager who uses various means to settle various things mainly to make money. There are also the three reporters that appeared at the beginning---artistic youths, big-minded entertainment reporters, and foreign media who frequently fake orgasms because of language barriers.
These people use their arrogance, ignorance, prejudice, and innocence to outline a ridiculous scene.
One of the most funny scenes was Riggan. When Riggan wanted to find a new actor, he found that the Philip Seymour Hoffman he wanted was filming "The Hunger Games" and Michael Fassbender was in Filming "X-Men", Jeremy Renner is filming "Avengers", COME ON, what's the matter with you good actors? What, the best sucker is Iron Man?
It feels like you find that the stocks you ran off have gone up. I want to cry without tears, I can only shake my head and smile bitterly.
Then you find that New York is full of talents. Even the tramp on the street is no worse than you when he thinks of Macbeth: "Life is just a walking shadow, a clumsy man gesticulating on stage. The actor, appeared on the stage for a moment, and then quietly retired; it is a story told by a fool, full of noise and commotion, without any meaning." (Translated by Zhu Shenghao) "Is it too much, I just I want to give you a range." This sentence is also what the stunned male number two said. I was just scolded so decently. Would you like to ask me my opinion on acting? Or Shakespeare? You bury me!
Riggan may be such a person, once brilliantly infinitely brilliant, but now he is in despair. This psychological gap made him a clone of another him---Birdman. I like that birdman because he is true enough. In an environment that advertises culture, trend, taste, authority, and individuality, only the "truth" can be seen most. Of course, "real" doesn't look so good.
Riggan is a hypocritical character in my opinion. Is he really choosing Raymond's work because of the words written to him by the writer when he was a child? I think it is not. Choosing Raymond, in my opinion, only caters to the needs of the market, because the theater market is a market that despises the best-selling culture. This market can bring him back to the front page of the newspaper.
Birdman confessed a lot more, he just took back his stage again, so that those who had forgotten him will never forget him, even if there is always a curtain call on the stage, he has to use his own way to make people stunned and laugh at everything. people.
When Riggan threw the tissue that Raymond Carver gave him in the bar, that Riggan was defeated. He finally combined with Birdman perfectly, soaring above Manhattan, and soaring deep in his heart.
Therefore, a more real Riggan, "reborn" at the entrance of the theater, wanted to make a perfect curtain call on the stage.
"Have you (we) loved me? Have I been loved by you (we)?" "No." ... Boom!
After the curtain ended, I couldn't help asking, why did the director of this play choose Raymond? Why did you choose "When we talk about love, what are we talking about"? I think this passage in the work can explain some problems, "But if one of us has something to do tomorrow, I think the other one will Sad for a while, you know, but soon, the surviving party will run out and fall in love again, and soon there will be a new love. All this, all the love we talk about, is just a memory. It may even be. It’s not even a memory. Am I wrong? Am I going too far? If you think I’m wrong, I hope you will point it out to me right away. I want to know. I mean, I don’t know anything, I
Be the first to admit this." Love is a memory, maybe not even a memory, let alone an idol you once loved? Movie fans are very affectionate, they love the new and dislike the old, and when the stars who have been loved are first loved, it is best to admit this first. Although there are a lot of allusions to superhero movies and complaints about the public opinion of film critics and reporters, this is not a spoof and satire film. It is a sad movie about a refusal to be forgotten.
With a cute flashback, Riggan just hurt his nose, and he won back the spotlight and the media chase with one nose. But he couldn't get rid of Birdman anymore. When he saw a birdman squatting on the toilet in the toilet, what was he thinking?
When he stood on the windowsill, what did he see? .
When SAM came back and showed that smile, what did he see again?
If I go back to the beginning of the film, I think what she saw was the poem.
Late fragment
Raymond Carver (1938-1988)
And did you get
Wanted Life you from the this the What, the even SO?
the I DID.
And the What DID you want?
the To Call Beloved myself, to myself Feel
Beloved ON at The Earth.
The poem are used in the past tense, is to go to another world, he said, "Call yourself loved by others, feel yourself, when you are in the world, be loved by others." This is also the last poem of Raymond during his lifetime.
The rhythm of the film seems to be advancing with the rhythm of the drums. Whenever the characters start to move, the drums will sound. This rhythm close to the beating of the heart exaggerates the feeling of "noisy and commotion", and faintly reveals a sense of "noisy and commotion" Kind of weird.
