A classic example of what's wrong with Hollywood

Rating: 1/10 (21 March 2015)

So, it was my 78th birthday, my son had come up for the occasion, and suggested we see a movie, specifically, "Birdman". In my youth I had a deep passion for comic books. Like the cars of the 40's and 50's, the comic book characters were individual, idiosynchratic and highly enjoyable...so what went wrong with "Birdman"? Everything!.
A talented writer creates recognizable characters, people for whom we feel sympathy or empathy. In this film, if you close your eyes, you can't tell who's speaking, and like Rhett Butler, frankly you don't give a damn.The writers seemed to believe that constant, mindless profanity would create viewer interest. Instead,all that puerile use of copulative, sodomistic language numbs the brain.
I had a dental appointment the next day, and the dentist asked what I thought of the movie. My reply..."I think i just wasted two plus hours of my life." And at my age it's a helluva loss. In summary, it puzzles me that the Academy could find any redeeming qualities in this avian misadventure.
