The PERFECT movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2018)

You can't use the phrase "perfect" for anything you only love, or that is good, or very good. It has to be all set together very smoothly and just in the right way.
In these terms, I call Birdman THE perfect movie. It's a flawless movie that Alejandro G. Iñárritu put it's pieces in the right place.
Where to begin? The story and the writing? The story is a well structured story that combines realism with surrealism in the only place they can be together: backstage of Broadway Theatre. The story talks about love, hate, family, courage, fame - how to handle the lost of it-, life and death. The characters are so well written that everybody can see something in common with Riggan. The climax of the movie from the scene when the critic promised Riggan that she will destroy his play to the flying scene is the most powerful climax I ever saw in a movie. The building for that moment from the beginning of the movie was right and delivered it the right way.
The directing, cinematography and editing? Well, here comes the good part. With his single shot techniques, Alejandro G. Iñárritu drew his own moving Mona Lisa.I felt I'm with them in that backstage getting ready for my turn.
The acting was beyond description.Michael Keaton did his best performance ever, Edward Norton and Emma Stone were amazing. Zach Galifianakis was just perfect.
The Music was the glue that hold it all together, drums, just the drums, that made every second of the movie clear of boredom.
The movie is about respecting art and film making. Look at today's movies, nothing but superhero movies that lowered the expectations for the people so that they forgot about what movies about.
Birdman is a great experience that doesn't come every year. It talks to everyone of us. In the end, it's my opinion. And my opinion that Birdman is my favorite movie of all time.
