An Oscar? What?

Rating: 4/10 (2 December 2015)

What were the Academy's guys thinking? I need to admit that I've been frustrated with the nominations from the last year. "It couldn't be more ridiculous" - I thought. Until: Birdman, the Best Motion Picture of the Year.
The story is nice. The main idea, at least. It turns around a decadent ex-superhero from an oldie 90's movie. He just wants the fame and the glory back. But now (present day) he's working on another trade of performing arts: a dramatical play based on a classic Raymond Carver's book. The actors are great. With the highlights pointed on Michael Keaton, he has gathered all of his best and put on this movie. You can see a great acting from Edward Norton, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts too. Actually, it's what really saves the movie from trash. The story, unfortunately, has some evident holes and, of course, no one in their right mind would give a Best Motion Picture's Oscar to this movie. That would be, at least, insane. Is a shame that the story has been developed so badly. It could be better.
