the unexpected quality of birdman

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2016)

Let me start by saying that I was angry at birdman winning Oscars in its year, especially because I wanted so badly for Nolan's Interstellar to win it. But, afterall, I decided to watch it because The Revenant bugs me, a film from the same director.
First of all, the way it was shot, to make it look an entire two-hours long scene was well done. The director whom name I still haven't learned deserved the Oscar entirely. The whole thing was enough interesting to keep me interested for the movie's full lenght. The ending was cryptic enough to make you think about the meaning for quite some time. That's something I like in a movie. Also, very creative soundtrack, made almost entirely with percussion instruments. What instead made me strike one mark off is language. There was so much vulgarity It, for once, disturbed me.
After watching birdman, I ask myself, why all that hate? Because it criticises almost everything. Movie-making (Though Oscar electors liked that), Actors, stage theater, superheroes, journalists, common people and so on, by showing all the stupidities of the world of nowadays.
I strongly believe though that rating a movie like this with a rating lower than 6 is very wrong. Even if offensive, it deserves at least consideration for the direction and acting.
