Iñarritu, the new joker.

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2015)

It is not easy to qualify a movie when there are splendid flicks in movie archives. This movie when compared to other iconic movies barely deserves 4 stars but when ranked against all 21st century Hollywood cr_p it surely comes out as one of the best. It is not a pleasant movie and I guess I'll never watch it again, but it was worth watching and I don't regret the time spent. It feels good when the director plays with my mind, that's where I get my adrenalin rush. Of course this is not a movie for everyone, there are plenty folks with undeveloped brains around... starting with mine which is still half cooked. I watched it after the Oscars and after Penn's apparently insensitive remark. Now I get it... and makes me smile. Iñarritu with Birdman is laughing about the industry he is in and his work certainly hurts gringo hearts, specially if the comedian is Mexican. Oh I forgot, no one has mentioned the relation between Keaton and Batman. I guess that's why Iñarritu chose Keaton...the 80's masked hero. Am I wrong?
