It is said that after the comic hero of the past appeared in the "Birdman" trilogy, he refused to participate in the fourth part when it was very popular. In order to prove himself, he wrote, directed and acted himself. After experiencing constant self-doubt and confusion, he attempted suicide on stage, causing a sensation.

Casting, similar to "Sunset Boulevard" used a star to play a star (Michael Keaton), with superb acting and conceited, superb acting and conceited (Edward Norton). Increase the sense of tragedy.

Some thoughts:
1. Actors and stars, who were shrouded in halo in the past, were unknown afterward. The huge mistakes made people feel extremely depressed and could not bear the mediocre life.

2. Life itself is a tragedy. Everyone lives on, and everything goes wrong. Everyone is a loser.

3. Forgive yourself and reconcile with life. Don't live too tired.

4. The public only pursues novelty and eye-catching things for movies, such as when the actor gets an erection on the stage, and the actor commits suicide on the stage. In fact, the reason is the loneliness and emptiness in their hearts.

5. Super powers are all fantasy of the protagonist, indulging in the time when he was a superhero in the old days, unable to extricate himself. schizophrenia.

6. In the end the father committed suicide because it was unbearable to be successful in this way (hype not work), irony.

    Recommend to teacher Jiang Wen. See how people combine reality and surreal into a decent story. How to achieve the ambition of a mirror to the end can also conquer the audience. It mocks everything but is so pitiful. It has an absurd smile and a sad background. When Michael Keaton walked helplessly across the street and through the crowd wearing only a pair of underwear, and when he tore off his wig in the backstage again and again, how sad the mood that quickly cooled from the excitement

    Super pseudo-long shots, coquettish drumbeats, speechless camera positions, just right special effects, nagging lines, Raymond Cafu’s novels, satires of magical reality, madness on and off the stage, vigorous performances , A coherent and complete script. Sometimes it’s not clear whether it’s a stage play or a movie, and the whole person is at home # this year’s most cool film#

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) quotes

  • Riggan: What is this?

    Sam: Oh yeah

    [pause]

    Sam: thats pot.

  • Riggan: Listen to me. I'm trying to do something important.

    Sam: This is not important.

    Riggan: It's important to me! Alright? Maybe not to you, or your cynical friends whose only ambition is to go viral. But to me... To me... this is - God. This is my career, this is my chance to do some work that actually means something.

    Sam: Means something to who? You had a career before the third comic book movie, before people began to forget who was inside the bird costume. You're doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. And let's face it, Dad, it's not for the sake of art. It's because you want to feel relevant again. Well, there's a whole world out there where people fight to be relevant every day. And you act like it doesn't even exist! Things are happening in a place that you willfully ignore, a place that has already forgotten you. I mean, who the fuck are you? You hate bloggers. You make fun of Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important. You're not important. Get used to it.

    Sam: Dad...
