1. Structure The film "Birdman" is composed of the protagonist Reagan's contradictory inner narration, Reagan's supernatural superpower thrusts, many long shots, sometimes strong and sometimes weak percussion, and emotions often play to the full level. , which add a lot of new and interesting elements to the film. At the same time, this is a seemingly contradictory film.

2. Technique: A. Shots: A lot of long shots are used, with a total length of about 120 minutes, basically consisting of a 100-minute and a 10-minute long shot, with a few short quick cuts in the middle, and a lot of feeling. The weird camera position makes the whole movie more attractive, giving people a sense of substitution, as if they are in it. B. Soundtrack: Accompany the whole film with a kind of jazz percussion that is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which often changes due to the mood of the characters and the emotions of the characters. The characters in the film have always been clearly played to a state of exceeding the standard. At this time, the percussion is also It becomes a special match, giving people a bright spot. C. Reagan's Supernatural Telekinesis: In the movie, Reagan's ability appears when he is depressed, belonging to his inner other personality - Birdman or materialized for its inner performance.

3. Plot: Reagan won the amazement of everyone by committing suicide with a real gun. When these actors were driven crazy and committed suicide, people began to notice his dedication, and the female critic was as amazed as other audiences at the end. At the end, Reagan flies away with the bird. Whether it is suicide or flying away, the ending is full of magical realism. The suicide can show Reagan's desperation for the modern business society, while the flying away reflects his yearning for his real art. In the movie, Reagan gave up starring in "Birdman 4" and chose to engage in drama to fulfill the art that he really wanted to express. Female critics defended their so-called kind of discrimination and denial of Hollywood actors and commercial films that sold out at the box office. Both the art and the news media and their audiences are only interested in Hollywood commercial films that sell out at the box office, both embody the film's satire and critics of American Hollywood commercial films (including superheroes) and what they call art.

    Alejandro González Iñárritu dislikes all of his previous works. This one is no exception. The reasons for dislike are those: nonsense, unscrupulous, unsympathetic, and deep-rooted. The proliferation of long-lens dazzling techniques this time is even more offensive. The reason is the same as madly thrusting for two hours and not shooting will only teach the woman that life is better than death. But for the actors' sake, stop there. Don't scold too harshly.
