Virtuous! Even If I'm Ignorant

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2015)

If Michael Keaton doesn't win the Oscar for his role, I'll shoot my nose off to spite my face! This film is absolutely amazing in it's assembly, dialog and acting. Don't ask me how, but Ed Norton pulls off an amazing James Dean in this. And sadly what kept me from giving this movie a 10 is that he wasn't in it enough. But the other 9 go to Michael Keaton. Somehow he exudes himself, Riggin Thomas, Christian Bale, and Bruce Wayne through out. The irony of it all, and the fact that Keaton IS such a good actor outside of his previous typical roles in such a untypical movie about a play that will surely win Keaton recognition that he may or may not actually crave in reality... To grapple with all that, and pull off such a brilliant performance in spite of it all...? And for any other self imposed 'critic' to say 'Meh' here or the New York Times, It just makes me realize the importance of Norton and Keaton's confrontations with the feared 'critic' in the movie. And what an asshole I must look like now. Damn, my head hurts, I think I better lie down for a bit. Smells like an awesome movie in here. And hope I 'saved the day' for Mike and all.
