Not for a certain type of viewer but still great

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2015)

If you're looking for a movie with complex plot or an extremely original concept or conflict, this is not the movie for you. But what it lacks in it makes up for with great acting performances, genius cinematography, and poignant character development. To sum it up, it's a movie about a man's insecurity and how those around him are affected. I would hardly consider it a comedy, since it's mostly a drama with few instances of comic relief. And as mentioned earlier, there's no original concept or plot that makes the movie stand out. So don't go into the theater expecting a straightforward story line or much amusement. Birdman is solely a look at the life of a struggling actor who must deal with so many insecurities in his life and overcome them.In a way, it's a lot like Taxi Driver in a certain way, in case you've watched that movie as well. I have a feeling that those who have watched the film either really liked it or absolutely hated it. I guess I'm one of the few who are in between but still enjoyed the movie.
