Director Alejandro González Iñárritu enables us to watch theater from a different perspective.

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2015)

Cinema and theater are two different arts which provide entertainment to audiences.While the former provides thrills for the heart,it is the latter which provides sensible food for thought to be consumed by the mind.It is the actors who end up being a common link for these two arts as they use their talents to provide thrills as well as something intelligible for the viewers.This difference continues to exist in most places.It is for this reason that it is believed that true actors do theater and celebrities work in movies.It is in a very realistic manner that American film 'Birdman' tackles the issue of theater in cinema. What makes this Alejandro González Iñárritu film special is the manner in which he chose some of American cinema's leading stars to pontificate about theater.As a film full of surprises,Birdman reminds us that being unique is the hardest thing to do in a world ruled by technology. This is exactly something experienced by our eponymous hero whose naiveté induces him to remain ignorant of social networks.An artist is so great an enigma that no other artist can unravel his/her inner feelings.This is one aspect of actors all viewers see in 'Birdman'. Lastly,'Birdman' is an honest film which allows its actors to reveal their true identities.
