I always believe that you clicked it because you saw the title of this article, just as I have been thinking about what kind of article can attract people, choosing the title is the best way, just like this " Birdman ("Birdy"), which has inspired generations.
The reason why I watched this movie was purely because of the name of the movie. I was full of infinite curiosity. It was a war drama, what the name of Birdman was, and I didn't have much interest in it. , indeed enough "birds", but also gave me a stronger fighting spirit.
My title may be a little scolding or ridiculing, but in fact I don't think it's a bad film. To some extent, the film has obvious advantages and disadvantages, and perhaps the style is more of a literary youth fan. Like it, some people will hate it. It is worth mentioning that the poetic scenes in the film are really impressive, such as the picture of the movie poster:
Really "bird"...
Birdy has always wanted to be a bird and fly freely in the sky. Because he is too obsessed with birds, he not only made a pair of big wings by himself, but also took off his clothes and shrunk into the bird cage to lock himself up. .
Birdy's friend's name is Al. It can be said that he is the only friend of Birdy who does not dislike him, but Al is also very helpless about what Birdy has done. Later, both Al and Birdy joined the army, because the cruel scenes on the battlefield made Birdy His spirit was damaged, so he lost his mind and was sent to the hospital. Al woke Birdy in the hospital and realized that flying was his eternal dream for Birdy. The ending deliberately creates a panic of Birdy "flying" from the balcony, and finally the comedic ending is polarized. Birdy's thinking is undoubtedly a little morbid, but at the same time it makes people feel a little sympathetic. I have to admit that although I admire Birdy's determination to pursue his dreams, I also dislike the various behaviors of Birdy's mockingbirds. It's the most unpleasant part of the whole movie. Note that I'm just expressing my personal opinion. Next, I want to expand my opinion on Birdy's related plot. At first, due to Birdy's eccentric and withdrawn personality, some people would bully him, and it was because of Al who protected Birdy that he was able to escape. From then on, Birdy and Al began a long and unusual friendship.
In the second half of the film, because Birdy is curled up in the corner like a bird in the hospital and refuses to say a word, the doctor tells Al that if he stays like this in a few days, he will be sent to a mental hospital, so Al desperately Wanting to awaken Birdy's consciousness, in the end Al also successfully helped Birdy find himself. Birdy can be saved, both mentally and physically, without the help of Al, Al is Birdy's guide, and the sincere friendship between the two is also portrayed in the film.
The first time Birdy flew, he fell off the roof of the factory, but he acted as if he was flying with a very elegant posture. For him, he did not fall, but flew. The pile kept Birdy from dying, while Al dashed downstairs to Birdy's side.
This set of shots of Birdy used a variety of angles to capture the picture of him flying down. It seems to happen at the same time as Al rushing downstairs. In fact, the shot shows Birdy flying several times and the angle changes each time. But Al's shot is not repeated, but continuous. You can understand that the picture of Birdy flying down and the picture of Al going downstairs are interlaced at the same time. The shot keeps repeating Birdy flying down, and then Al keeps Continue to run down until Birdy landed on the sand, Al ran to Birdy's side, time returned to normal, and even more detailed analysis, this is a perfect combination of fast and slow motion, Birdy slowly moved to Xiafei, in fact, if he wanted to fall, he would have already fallen, and the director's intention here is to contrast with the fast action of Al flying downstairs, and to better let the audience remember Birdy first. The elegant posture of the second flight, so the time is extended, and the multi-angle loop is played, and then it intersects with Al going downstairs, forming a strong contrast. It is a downward movement, but it can make the audience have a strong visual effect. .
For the second flight, Birdy built a pair of oversized wings himself, and went to the junkyard with Al to ride a bicycle to take off. Birdy started his second flight in a relaxed and cheerful voice, but at the end, Birdy fell into the water. The pit, failed, is almost the same as the first flight. By shooting the picture of Birdy falling into the puddle, the latter shot the picture of Al running towards Birdy and rushing into the puddle. The time is short, and the long-prepared Birdy can look deeply. Disappointed, this flight also shows that it is not easy to fly into the blue sky. I think Al has deep feelings for Birdy, but Al also expressed doubts about Birdy, or doubts, such as Birdy taking off his clothes. Get into the bird cage, treat the canary as his lover, and help the waterfowl entangled by the snake. Did the failure of this flight tell the audience that Birdy's flying dream is irreversible? The third flight of Birdy gradually changed from normal. It became abnormal. At the beginning, it was Birdy who took off his clothes and kissed the bird. The camera shot through Birdy's face, and the reflection of the bird flying was reflected on the wall. Birdy began to imagine himself flying after becoming a bird, and the camera shot also From God's perspective to the first perspective, Birdy also said the sentence, "I wish I could die and be reborn as a bird." Finally, Birdy successfully flew in the sky, this time flying directly to the film Pulling to the climax, skillful transitions, imitating the flight of birds, these expressions make Birdy's image more profound. So far, the three flights have more fully reflected Birdy's desire to fly. On the surface, Birdy seems to be successful, but it is only based on imagination. In fact, they all ended in failure.
I think everyone has a different opinion on the ending. Some people may like this kind of open ending. When it comes to this, we should know what the director wants to express. From my personal understanding, it is the meaning of dreams, and the ending is not the end of Birdy's life. Whether he will continue to pursue his dreams, or give up his dreams, these are all left to the audience to associate. And that's exactly how I feel about this ending.
Birdy is too obsessed with birds, causing him to immerse himself in the song of birds, so the war is terrible for him, it does not assimilate his mind, but destroys the fragile Birdy, Birdy still loves birds, yearning to be like a bird Feifei, but he was in the hospital, more full of disappointment, helpless, he didn't want to say a word, until Al's appearance, woke him up again and again, because of Al's help Birdy was able to get out of the dark , Towards the light, Birdy's flying dream has not come true, Birdy's story has not ended, when I watched this movie for the first time, I did not understand Birdy's state of mind and Al's thoughts, nor did I understand the director's intention , and now I look back at it again, but it is so emotional.
I think everyone's efforts determine the realization of dreams, you can of course choose not to be Birdy, but you should be as brave as Birdy to be yourself.
