There is no doubt that this film is very controversial. Many people find it difficult to understand and obscure, but sometimes the film is not a pure pastime, but can be combined with one’s own life to think about it after watching it. Gain experience and upgrade to a 100-level single-spin rare mount, isn't it? Of course not--# Talking nonsense seriously, just like this movie, the combination of reality and surreal, the tone is low and nonsensical, funny and sad, which is what I like about this movie. The opening is Raymond Carver's poem "Late Fragment": And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? Even so, did you get what you wanted from this life? I did. Got it. And what did you waht? What did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the Earth. I can say that I am loved, and I can feel loved in the world. It is not difficult to see that beloved is the key word in it. Love is not only love, but also respect and love. Being loved is not only about you wanting me by your side, but a real concern. Several of the main characters in the film lack love: Sam’s childhood was when his father’s career was booming, and he was often away from home. With such a lack of father’s love, it’s no wonder he fell in love with his uncle, brother, and Mike. Lesley's judgment of self-worth is entirely dependent on outsiders, who desire the affirmation of others. Laura told her to succeed if she succeeded, and Riggan said OK is OK, lacking self-cognition and self-love. Laura wanted to get Riggan's heart, but Riggan must have only regarded her as a friend. Two years ago, pretending to be pregnant didn't change much. The male number two Mike is a complex of conceit and low self-esteem. He always wants to present the best performance on stage. He is really loved by the audience. His conceit is that he thinks that he is right, such as in the bar. As soon as he finished his voice, he was beaten by fans on the spot. Haha, he was naked when he changed his clothes, and he was very confident. Perhaps it was his conceit that caused his inferiority. Colleagues complained that he played big cards, sunbathes, drank on the spot, Erection and unceremonious conversations with his boss. These are all job requirements in his opinion. It is so difficult for him to do. They only exist in the workplace. In a private space, he also said in the first conversation between Tiantai and Sam. It’s not that I don’t care if others like him. The whole person becomes gentle, showing his fragility. He only plays Truth but does not come to Dare. It shows that he also longs for others to learn more about his heart and be loved. This kind of character is okay. His girlfriend is Lesley, who is the only one. Finally, let’s look at the actor’s heart. Riggan wanted to become an actor. It all started when Raymond Carver gave him a note, but his early sci-fi blockbuster "Birdman" was not satisfied for him, so he resigned as Birdman. 4This kind of commercial blockbuster, he can't even show his face in Birdman's costume, how to act? A lively human prop is far from what he wanted to be an actor. So he decided to make a play on his own and put Raymond Carver's collection of short stories "When we talk about love, what we're talking about" on the stage. But things didn't go so smoothly: 1. During the rehearsal, the bad actor Ralph was injured by the props, and the crew directly fired him on this excuse, and Ralph immediately started a lawsuit with the crew. 2. In the first rehearsal, Mike got drunk and crashed on the stage. 3. In the second rehearsal, Mike was hard on stage and the video was uploaded to Youtube. [Take it easy, I know It's hard haha] 4. In the third preview, Riggan was accidentally locked out of the theater smoking a cigarette, and ran back to the theater from the street wearing underwear. While the audience recognizes it, it becomes a hot topic at the same time. These unexpected events have made the show popular on social networks and attracted a lot of attention, but it is also getting farther and farther from what Riggan wants. He hopes that people will treat him seriously and respect him as an actor. Love him as an actor, not a star who has been forwarded hundreds of thousands of saying good morning. No one took him seriously. His ex-wife Sylvia called him Stuff and sold a house for the show, which was obviously crazy in Sylvia’s eyes; Sam scolded him and felt that he was just trying to get attention. It's not for shit art; Mike relentlessly said that this stage belongs to many outstanding actors and you are not one of them; the critic Tabitha said that you are not an actor, you are just a celebrity. After a series of blows, he found that he was not loved. No one could understand him at all. He began to fall into despair. So he took the note that Raymond Carver gave him in high school, which prompted him to embark on the career of an actor. At the bar. After walking out of the bar, passers-by read the lines in "Macbeth" and shot his heart into a sieve. Riggan began to feel that everything was meaningless. What he did was in vain. No one would regard him as a real one. actor. After a night, the birdman’s voice once again occupied his mind. In the subconscious, Riggan had already begun to break and fall. What if he couldn't become an actor? I'm still a movie star. Don't you want to make a sensation? Isn't it going to be a hot spot? I'm going to show you how good I am. I have to end in the form I want, with a grand gesture, a horrifying behavior, no wonder suicide. Flames, sacrifices, Icarus, what you can do, do you hear it? You are ______, the voice of the fan: Birdman! The music started, the reading took off, and in less than 2 seconds, a stranger gave a spell countermeasure! But at this time his thoughts were free, humans could no longer stop him, he still flew back to the theater, he knew what he should do, but... Did not pay for the car hahahaha neurotic! In the evening, a crowd of people rushed out of the theater during the intermission. The evaluation could hear "good", and then saw a middle-aged man in a white-haired and black-framed suit come out. Could it be Martin Scorsese? Yes, there is a new pope ←_←. The camera was taken up to the dressing room, and the room full of roses couldn't make him happy. At the beginning of the film, he said that he didn't like roses. Maybe this kind of flowers is too popular and seems careless and cheap. The ex-wife said that he was unusually peaceful. He said that he was very peaceful, and told his ex-wife that he was ashamed and that he loved her and his daughter as the last farewell in life. By this time, watching the scenes in the play, the mood became full, and even the lines seemed to be written for Riggan. Mike was what he wanted to be, and the audience did not give him what he wanted. He was powerless to change this, so he could only raise his gun. ... The audience stood up and applauded, except for Tabitha in the second row. She sat there for a few seconds, then turned and left when the audience applauded. The long shot ended and the superstar fell. There have been two superstars falling in the film. The falling of the leading star should refer to the decline of Riggan’s career. It fits the first line: How do we end up here? An image of gun suicide, a flaming superstar flies over skyscrapers, illuminating thousands of households, and he once again becomes the focus of the public. The irony is that he looks more like Birdman in the hospital, and like Birdman, he is sought after by the public. The last title given by the review was "The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance". I read few books and didn’t know what it meant. So I looked for it on the search engine and found that there is indeed such a phrase Virtue of Ignorance. The virtue of ignorance comes from a lot about virtue. In sexual ethics articles, the virtue of ignorance should be understood as spontaneous, rather than a habitual virtue formed through moral education, such as not holding grudges, impulsive courage, etc., not the result of "knowledge." Combined with the film, the unexpected virtue of ignorance should refer to Riggan's nose shot. This bloody stage dedication, even without professional training, strives to present a perfect performance to the audience. It is actually an unexpected virtue of ignorance. But who knew that he wanted to die? The conversation between Riggan and the agent Jake, known as his best friend, in the hospital was really heartbreaking. "Riggan, this is what you want, isn't it?" "Yes, this is what I want." This series of accidents made him an Internet celebrity, news figure, and even a performance artist, but never Becoming a recognized and respected actor, the attempted suicide has become this look...In the bathroom, Riggan took off the gauze and said to Birdman: Bye bye, fuck you. Open the window and he is free. .
