"Birdman" flying from a closed space

Alessandro Gonzalez Inarido seems to have begun to seek a change in style, without the heaviness of "21 Grams" and "The Tower of Babel", and not as crazy as "Love is a son of a bitch" , This film has some ease and pleasure. The audience was firmly attracted by the full amount of information and the proper rhythm. A large number of long shots, including many (pseudo) long shots in the play and the corridor, will make the actors particularly enjoyable. And that kind of coquettish drumbeat, even though it is a bit of a rush, it is easy for the audience to enter the show, and it is not annoying.
Although, the director abandoned the serialization and complexity of multiple narratives, and began to experiment with the complexity of the spatial structure. (Although, the last long shot walking from the back door of the theater to Times Square seems to be wrong in terms of space.) From the stage to the backstage, to the dressing room, the transition from the theater to the daily life is just completed, quite freely.
I thought it would be a film that completely locks the filming in the theater, using the repressive stage and the tangible space to express the boundless space in the birdman's heart. Even when the daughter is sitting on the terrace and chatting, the outdoor space is obscured by high-rise buildings. Therefore, when he enters Times Square unintentionally in embarrassment, although the visual space is still suppressed, the entrance of the rich environmental sound will suddenly make the audience have the pleasure of breathing smoothly.
This is not a new story, and the lecture was quite interesting. After all, the person who can tease himself is the true temperament person.

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) quotes

  • Mike Shiner: Is this water? Did you replace my gin with water, man?

    Riggan: Mike. Come on.

    Mike Shiner: No. Come on, what?

    Riggan: Come on, you're drunk.

    Mike Shiner: I'm drunk? Yes, I'm drunk! I'm supposed to be drunk! Why aren't you drunk? This is Carver. He left a piece of his liver on the table every time he wrote a fucking page. If I need to be drinking gin, who the fuck are you to touch my gin, man? Listen, you fucked with the period, you fucked with the plot so you could have the best lines, you leave me the fucking tools that I need! Oh, come on people, don't be so pathetic. Stop looking at the world through your cellphone screens. Have a real experience! Does anybody give a shit about truth other than me? I mean the set is fake, the bananas are fake, there's fucking nothing in this milk carton, your performance is fake. The only thing that is real on this stage is this chicken. So, I'm gonna work with the chicken.

  • Mike Shiner: Give me a cue again.

    Riggan: Okay. "Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask. I don't actually know the man, I've heard his name mentioned in passing. I don't know, you'd have to know the particulars. I think what you're saying..."

    Mike Shiner: Hey, can I make a suggestion, do you mind?

    Riggan: Yeah, yeah sure, no not at all.

    Mike Shiner: Okay, just stay with me. "I'm the wrong person to ask," he says, but what is that, what is the intention in that? Is he fed up with the subject so he's changing it, is he deflecting guilt over the marriage? And here's the thing, you've got four lines after that that all say the same thing. "I didn't even know the man, I only heard his name mentioned in passing, I wouldn't know, you'd have to know the particulars..." The point is, you don't know the guy, we f - king get it. Make it work with one line: "I didn't even know the man." Right?

    Riggan: Right. Yeah. You know my lines too, huh?

    Mike Shiner: Can we not get hung up on knowing lines?
