I watched birdman afree hearing the success it had at the oscars and the Academy got it right. It is the best role I have seen Michael Keaton play and Edward norton and Emma stone are a fantasy pairing of supporting actors. However the stand out quality of the film is the cinematography- the follow shot throughout is fantastic and extremely effective with seamless cuts. Overall it is a must watch film

Michael Keaton earned a well-deserved Academy Award nomination for playing Riggan Thompson, a film turned stage actor. He was famous for playing the Birdman in the movies. In this film, he wants to succeed on Broadway in a play. Emma Stone played his daughter, Sam. Edward Thornton played his co-star in the play. Zach Galifankis played a producing partner in the production. Filmed on location in New York City, the film is about temperamental actors and the process being one. The film is somewhat entertaining except I can't stand the bird costume. Michael Keaton does a tour-de-force performance as Riggan, an unusual name. The film won an Academy Award for Best Picture. The film is quite entertaining especially with the cast. The ending doesn't make sense though.

I watched this two years ago then I accidentally pumped into its page and I remembered the two hours I've wasted of my life. It made me sad all over again.

I believe it's a good sign when the reactions to a movie are so divided. I LOVE IT. I HATE IT. It's the evidence that an ambitious vision was actually realized. Or at least someone tried to create what they could see when they closed their eyes. Let's face it, it's a miracle anything's created at all, let alone something like Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).I love this movie. It's fascinating, it's fun, it's tactile, it's absurd, and it's substantive. Alejandro uses the medium of film to be the message, as much as the setting, the cast, the music, the light, the effects... and even the age of cinematic comic book universes. I could go on and on about the themes of truth, meaning, and reality - but really what's even more exciting to me is how much fun this movie is. You feel the madness of the theater and the wet concrete of the city. It's filled with magical moments, from its engaging performances to its meticulously crafted direction. It's become one of my most watchable titles.
