Birdman Twilight
Michael Keaton played a superhero actor in the movie. This is exactly the same as his own identity. People over thirty years old saw Tim Burton’s version of Batman when they were young. At that time, the Batman mentioned was Michael Keaton. The best Catwoman recognized so far is still that version.
Of course time flies, movie special effects technology is developing, Nolan and Bell, Iron Man, reunion, a lot of superheroes surging in, the old Batman has been completely forgotten. Michael Keaton must empathize with this role. The very bright Tucao Iron Man in the film-Robert Downey Jr., the clown, is not as talented as half of yours, but with a "Tin Man" (Tin Man), he made a comeback and made a lot of money. The Joker in this sentence is a pun, because in 1992, when Keaton became Batman, Downey played Chaplin. Interestingly, Keaton's version of Batman was a big hit at the box office that year, and Donny's Chaplin was nominated for Best Actor Oscar. More than two decades have passed, and it seems that the situation has been reversed.
Over the past two decades, the world has changed so much that the twilight birdman can't adapt at all. He doesn't know how to use the Internet, and he doesn't know that he has to die. But he needs a sense of presence, he wants to grab the headlines. He used his fortune to shoot a movie on Broadway. But this is obviously a wrong decision. Just like his daughter complained about him-people forget who the person in the Birdman costume is. You are filming a movie written 60 years ago, to a thousand rich people who are worried that they will have nowhere to eat snacks and coffee after watching. Look. Who cares except you! Be realistic, Dad, you don't do art, you just want to be in touch. Guess what to dad? People in this world are vying for existence outside, and new things are always born in places that you ignore, you have long been forgotten! Tell me who you are! You hate blogs, make fun of Twitter, and don't even have a Facebook page. You are the one who does not exist!
Birdman and Carver
"I don't exist" is the words of his character in the drama that Birdman rehearsed. The play is adapted from Raymond Carver’s short story "What are we talking about when we talk about love". The sentence pattern of this sentence has been used countless times in recent years, but it is estimated that many people have never read the novel, because Many of Carver's novels are nothing short of cut-offs, leaving too much white space.
Why did Birdman choose Carver's novel to adapt it? The movie said that it was because when he first appeared on stage, Carver wrote him a note on a napkin and praised him as a good actor. I think it might be because Carver, the old Luther, said: We were thrown out by life and are preparing to start all over again. Things are changing, he said. I don't know how they changed. But always unknowingly, and not changing according to your wishes.
Because I liked Carver very much before, I went to watch "What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Love", and compared the dramas in "Birdman" to compare who they played and how they were adapted. In the scene where four people sit around the dining table, Naomi Watts plays Terri in the novel, Keaton plays Mel in the novel, and Norton plays Nick in the novel. Emilyan plays Laura in the novel. The original novel was just a conversation between two couples at the dinner table. Turner talked about his ex-boyfriend Ed. Ed loved him but would beat her, almost killed her, and stalked Mel. The drama played out all the dialogues, and added Laura’s monologue about concealing pregnancy. This overlapped with the reality of the film, adding the last scene of catching the rape, but in this scene Norton and Terry lie on the bed. Suddenly became a crazy Ed. The novel says that Ed Ed had committed suicide alone. He shot himself in his mouth, and the neighbor heard the gunshot to the police. In the play, he raped Terri and Norton in bed, and after confirming that Terri did not love him, he said something that Birdman and Keaton would also say-nothing matters, and I don't even exist.
Birdman grabs the headlines.
Birdman wanted to rely on Carver's drama to make the headlines obviously a mistake. From the audition headlines, they were snatched by the relatively fresh Norton. Birdman's two headlines were very sad. One was when he smoked at the back door during the performance, was shut outside, and his pajamas were still clamped. In order to rush to the scene, he ran naked in downtown Broadway. Once he shot himself in his nose when he committed suicide.
This fragmented society, which has been conquered by the Internet and information, does not care about his art. The embarrassment and embarrassment of a former superhero is even more eye-catching.
In short, after the release of Birdman, Keaton also grabbed the headlines. The old Batman was nominated for best actor, and therefore returned to the front line of Hollywood. I hope he can fly from scratch as he imagined in the movie.
