Really Surprised!
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
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
Anyone that has lived through the 60's and 70's has seen this level of pretentiousnous before. Or at least has seen the glowing, wide eyed fawning over this level of pretentiousness before. The mind numbing attention to technical detail never lets you forget that you are watching something "significant". In the midst of some first rate acting, the actors never seem to become comfortable with the choreography required to stay out of the cameras' way.
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.
One of the best Michael Keaton Movies i ever saw!!! Only People with a lot of Gleichmut dont Like this brilliant Movie!
