Hysterical absurdity

Full of tension and fascinating. Although it is not my food, I have to admit that it is novel in concept and full of skill.

There are countless layers of details in the film, including the conflict between the pursuit of culture and art, serious thinking, and the prevailing fast-food entertainment. There are also lover, husband and wife, father and daughter's feelings mixed in it. The screenwriters, photographers, directors, and of course all actors are of very high level. With the development of the plot, Riggan's heart became stronger and stronger, both in the stage play and in the movie, he made a powerful statement that I was the real protagonist.

The long shot of Birdman streaking will become a classic in the history of film. The actors have performed well in place, frustrated, helpless, desperate, but unwilling to give up the psychological performance of the nuances. Finally, after going through hardships, he arrived in time and survived the catastrophe, which made him burst into inspiration and quickly entered the role with a gun in his hand.

Some people say that this is a fantasy film. In fact, I think the whole film is still very realistic. Those fantasy scenes are actually just showing the inside of the characters. You won't find it abrupt, but will smile.

    #杭州电影节# In the opening film, Michael Keaton was an old Batman in 1989. This empathetic acting is very suitable for in-play dramas. There are many idiots, but not many Happy Endings. Raymond Carver text praises, Keaton is quite true, Stone is a bit past Norton, the latter regained a city with a hard shot with his ass exposed, all kinds of long shots, beautiful crying, and the disturbing but poisonous drums, very Shuang, God satirizes a lot of superheroes is also quite interesting.

    Asking for love → please → not getting love, being yourself → being an asshole → getting a lot of love that you don't need. The unfair distribution of love keeps the world dizzy. It will be much better to figure this out and consider the form. Thinking about the mass media is too superficial and old. It's a pity to use such a cool form to talk about such vulgar things. It is also possible to mock at the disconnect between form and content: you are no different from birdman fans~
