Revolutionary

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2015)

Birdman does an excellent job at providing an experience. The unique use of the camera is particularly noteworthy as it allows the audience to feel present in each situation. Birdman focuses a lot on duality and for that reason it succeeds! Each character has inner demons, some more obvious than others, and each are given chances to overcome those issues. The acting in this film is fantastic, I don't see Michael Keaton in this film I see Riggin Thompson. The dialogue is also very impressive in this film which makes each character seem real and relatable. While this is an amazing film it isn't perfect, I thought the ending could have been handled better. What I mean is I am not a fan of their use of fantasy at the end... Is he really flying? Did he die on stage? Did he commit suicide in the hospital? Is Riggin's daughter seeing him as he sees himself now? While the ending is very intriguing and does make you think like that I still feel like it could have been executed better. Maybe it's just so well done that it needs even more time for analysis. Anyway it's a very enjoyable movie!! Go see it!!!
