Deep psychological drama.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2015)

When I first saw this movie, I thought that it was going to be a superhero movie. But it wasn't! This movie is a satire on Michael Keaton's life and showbiz whereas SINGING IN THE RAIN is a satire on the arrival of talking pictures in 1929. Birdman is a parody of the BATMAN films he worked on even the character's voice is a spoof on the recent Batman films by Christopher Nolan. It is amusing that it almost looked like that it is done in one take, but it somehow there were editing shots spliced in here and there. The music is good and it is worth the watch. Naomi Watts was in this movie as Lesley and she was in Peter Jackson's KING KONG remake. Michael Keaton is going to be in a prequel to KING KONG called KONG: SKULL ISLAND along with J.K. Simmons (of WHIPLASH fame) and Tom Hiddleston (who was Loki in THOR and THE AVENGERS) which is coming out in 2017. I say bring it on! Bottom line: Great psychological drama. Rated R for strong language, violence, nudity, sexuality and drug use and reference.
