A not so well made Papier-mâché of cinema, an acceptable philosophy lecture and good acting.

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2015)

This movie was made for Hollywood not for the audience.
To begin and end with Whiplash deserved the award for best movie made by "Performing arts" for "Performing arts" about "Performing arts" and presented immaculately for the audience.
Birdman had these philosophical flakes showering in the background which were acted upon by Michael Keaton brilliantly but if you give away Oscars for Philosophical representation of existential crisis of an actor then "Enemy" is the most Under-hyped movie of all time and "Birdman" over.
I felt like there was something coming which never did and was lost in thought about other things around me like playing Patapon. What I mean to say is this movie did not capture my attention. Yes it was a little artful, Yes it must have been the most difficult movies to shoot as it was all in one take but not really either. (Technology these days)
But no it was not one bit entertaining, It didn't even feel bleak or saddening in any manner except that I lost two hours of my life knowing how good Keaton and Norton are at acting and Emma Stone is not just a pretty face (I don't like her face).
Keaton deserved the Oscar the movie did not. do I have to write "In My Opinion"? because everything is someone's opinion of something which is the only "Unexpected Virtue" I got from the movie that a "Critic does not loose anything for writing a review but an actor stands to lose everything".
