Washed up actor in a movie about making a show about him in an ensemble of crazy characters

When I first saw the movie Birdman, I can say that I did not like it very much. The genre of this film, being a dark comedy, was neither very dark nor funny to me, it was a more of drama that got lost in the bizarre one long tracking shot. Because of the tracking shot, albeit beautiful, meddles the plot. Also the ending was very very weird. So I got home, thinking eh and forgot about that movie.
Five days later I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of this film. insane ending, the superb acting, (especially from Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Zach Galfinakis and Micheal Keaton) the vibrant drumming solos, the funny moments that made you think, and the oh so beautiful tracking shot. I almost wish that every movies were shot like this. The tracking shot matched up perfectly with the plot, and because of it you can actually follow the plot line in your head even when you are not watching the film.
In my opinion the movie required second viewing, so I did. Like the first time I did not love it when I was watching it, although I did like it more, but after I was done I thought about it and appreciated it so much more.
I can see why people hate this movie, it's not that they don't get it or anything but its just not their taste. I can see that and it does have a very limited audience. However the movie is very worth watching it, and you will think about it, and it does require second viewing. It's not my favourite movie of all time, but it is definitely my favourite movie to watch.
