Not original

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2015)

The film is about an actor who's is popular because of some comic movies who made back in 1992 , and since then hi is then he is trying to make an "artist" name out of him playing in a Broadway theater. The casting is very clever because Michael Keaton is used ( an actor who played Batman in 1992, and except that role he is unknown to the public). This is very smart but not that original , since Darren Aronofsky has made the same thing in "The Wrestler" when he used Mickey Rourke to play a almost forgotten wrestler. If you see the movies you will realize lots of commons in the plot, the artwork etc, the symbolism etc The movie succeeds in make you emotional for the main character but I think that there is lots of wordy characters with problems quite irrelevant from the main plot. This film is worthy watching but not something great and original.
