Two neighbors lived in his mind. One was playing the drum set and the drums sounded from time to time; the other was wearing a bird-head mask with black wing feathers, expressing opinions at every turn. He often looked at himself in the mirror and said, they don't know what you can do!
He didn't know what he could do. He ranked this drama because he felt that there was an opportunity to do things well, and I must seize it. And the daughter said, “You’re arranging a play written 60 years ago to a thousand rich white people who are worried about not having snacks and coffee after watching. Who cares except you. To be more realistic, Dad, you’re not in In art, you just want to brush up the sense of existence. Guess what? People in this world are fighting to brush up the sense of existence, but you want to disappear. New things are always born in places you ignore, and you have long been forgotten! Tell me who you are! You hate blogs, cancel Twitter, and don’t even have a Facebook page. You are the one who doesn’t exist. You do this because, like us, you are afraid that you are not important. You know Are you? You guessed it, you are not important!"
We are all afraid that we are not important.
Karen Horne said in "The Neurotic Personality of Our Time", "Modern culture is economically based on the principle of individual competition. Isolated individuals have to compete with other individuals in the same group. They have to surpass them and constantly To squeeze them out. The benefit of one person is often the loss of another. The psychological consequence of this situation is the increase of potential hostility between people. Each person is the actual or potential of the other person. Competitors... Regardless of whether the focus of competition is demeanor, talent, charisma, or other social values, it destroys any reliable friendship that may be established...and also hinders the relationship between men and women." Hostility breeds anxiety, and anxiety makes People feel small, lonely, fearful and insecure. In order to fight against this feeling, people have to desperately pursue love, the pursuit of career success, the pursuit of power, fame, and wealth.
In the film, Reagan, who once played an anime hero, said that Robert Downey Jr., the clown has not half of my talents, but made a lot of money from Iron Man; he told his ex-wife about flying by In the back row of George Clooney, the plane was caught in a storm. The passengers were crying and praying, but he sat calmly and motionless. Then he thought, if the plane crashed, only George Clooney would be seen by his daughter in the news, and probably not a word about him. He wants to mortgage the house left to his daughter for rehearsal.
The actor, Reagan, is played by Michael Keaton. Twenty years ago, he starred in "Batman" and "Batman Returns". After that, he resigned and acted in the sequel like Reagan. He faded out of the movie world after the 1990s. Born in 1951, he was born at the bottom, has worked as a taxi driver, an ice cream vendor, and a TV comic actor. Knowing this, you can see how much of the master's self-directedness in the lines in the movie.
The director of the film is Alessandro Gonzalez Inardo, a Mexican, born in 1963. He worked as a radio DJ, made commercials, and became a director. His most famous film was also his debut. In 2000, "Love is a bitch", the three fateful lives were intertwined and turned due to a car accident. The film won The 53rd Cannes Film Festival Film Critics Week Award, and nominated for the 73rd Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. He has also filmed "21 Grams" starring Sean Penn and "Sky Tower" starring Brad Pitt. The most recent I can remember is "Beauty Error" starring Javier Baden in 2010.
"Birdman" is by far the best film in Ilyta. The whole film has almost perfect scene design, scene management, performance, photography and editing. What is particularly amazing is the 14 crazy long shots that make up the whole film. Although I know that it is definitely not a shot to the end, I just can't see where it was edited and spliced. We followed the camera, the camera followed Reagan's shaky life, and his shaky soul.
The film not only points to people's hearts, but also points to the society in which people live. There is a scene in which a reporter interviews Reagan. The male reporter asks: Why does the protagonist of the anime hero movie pick up the stage play of Raymond Carver? Roland Bart said that the culture spread through gods and fairy tales has now been produced by commercials for washing machine cleaners and cartoon characters.
Reagan said, that...you look at "Birdman" like Icarus.
The female reporter said, wait, who is this Bart? Which "Birdman" is in? ...I heard that you have injected piglet semen for beauty?
How did you hear?
From Twitter.
that's not true.
I know, but did you do it? no. Okay, then I will write that you deny it.
Don't...why write...
this is an era when anime heroes dominate society, an era when gossip and anecdotes are far greater than professional ideals. Everyone wants to make headlines and is struggling to find their own presence.
The stage play in the film is adapted from Raymond Carver's novel "What are we talking about when we talk about love". The opening inscription of the movie comes from Carver's novel "The Late Fragment"-have
you found what you want in this life?
found it.
what do you want?
Be the loved one and feel loved on earth.
Carver's novels are full of losers, and perhaps a girl occasionally asks, you must be desperate or what's wrong? But that's it. "You are shining with love. But you have loved others before meeting. You have both been married, just like us. Even before that, you might have loved other people... if we had anyone If something goes wrong, I think another one, the other person will be sad for a while, you know, but soon, the one who is alive will run out and continue to fall in love again... All these, all the love we talk about, is just one It’s nothing more than a memory. Maybe it’s not even a memory.”
So, on the stage, Reagan raised his gun and asked, why am I always the one who wants to be loved?
I think this is the value of the movie's existence. It reflects our cowardice, fear, dream, and desire to love and be loved. It makes you keep thinking after reading it. You don't know what you think of but just can't stop. It shows you a kind of life, but it actually shows you a mirror to see yourself. Inarido said at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony that the film wanted to "build a mirror on the screen that can reflect all of us, but we will not be reflected because we are in the mirror." In the
film, Reagan had a mysterious ability to fetch objects from the air and sit in the air, but he didn't know what he could do. He just rehearsed like grabbing the last straw, worrying and anxious, trying to control John Cusack. He played an arrogant actor who confronted the birdman in his head and pointed his gun at himself on the stage.
The last shot of the film is the big eyes of Reagan's daughter. She stands in front of the ward window and looks at the ground and the sky. Her expression has changed from fear and worry to surprise and joy. The director didn't tell us what she saw.
In the distance, over the city, flocks of birds are flying.
