Fruitful Movie

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2015)

The movie is simple and quick-play. Not too slow, but that much, as to understand how an elder (Riggan Thomson) strive to survive into a hard competition of Broadway's star system. So, while leaving on the sunset of his career, he plays an all-in set to gain back the lost glory and pride as a theatrical actor, when he was acting Birdman at his early age. The movie is a quick snick look into an actor's soul (Riggan). An person who lived in fame and would prefer "die hard" on stage rather sleeping in his corner. What really surprise is director's talent to shot the movie in a such short time (2 months shooting). However, a quick parallelism came into my mind, with Mickey Rourke's playing (The wrestler). I wish Michael Keaton not follow the same course, he obviously can do better and better.
