Birdman (or One of the Best Movies of 2014)

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2014)

What can I say about this film... excellent would be an understatement. Having just left the theater, I am pained by the thought that more people have not and may never see Birdman. Birdman sounds cliché, the title is something we've all heard before. Superhero, superhero, superhero. This movie is not that.
Instead, Birdman offers a true look in to the mind of a man who has, in theory, disappeared. He has no social media, barely any family, and about as much relevance as... well, a guy who played in superhero movies years ago. But what shifts Birdman from every other movie is the true glimpse you get inside of all the characters heads. Never once do you feel like the actors are trying to hard, you forget they're acting. You forget you're in a movie.
Birdman constantly walks on the lines of reality and fantasy. And at the end, you are left to decide what is real or not.
I recommend this film to anyone who truly enjoys movies, I mean real, authentic, just all around good movies.
