A Masterful Original

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2017)

This movie was an interesting story that blended art and reality together in a weird, yet realistic way. Parts of the movie felt a little disconnected from the audience (i.e. Birdman's unrealistic powers), but for some reason that disconnection left us feeling like we craved a deeper connection. And even though we couldn't relate to a superhero, we could relate to his very real life and the events in it. The movie takes its viewer on an emotional roller coaster as each scene further drives and intensifies the plot. I feel like there is a lot to learn from this movie and will definitely be re-watching it as I continually study the art of film.
