Refreshing

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2015)

I just finished watching Birdman and i am overwhelmed! I loved every single thing about it, the cast, the plot, the dialogs, and the weird drums, that sometimes felt inappropriate for the scene, but gave it a sense of paranoia added by "the birdman's voice" in Keaton's head.
All the characters had some kind of issue that we all were aware even before they talked about it, because it was so clear. All the actors did an amazing job, but i have to talk about one in specific, my favorite actor, Ed Norton. Finally he comes back to a role that fits his ability of acting, Ed is a great actor, and as fan is painful for me to see him portraying certain characters such as Hulk or Eisenheim ("The Illusionist"). I appreciated his role on "Grand Budapest Hotel", it was flawless but he deserves much more camera time. He deserves leading roles. He didn't have it on this one, but he owned the movie, at least for me, or maybe i'm being very biased but i love him and i was so happy to see him in this role.
As for the movie, i don't understand all the bad reviews, for me is definitely the best movie of 2014. I found it inspiring, in a way that it showed Hollywood as it is, and the actors are people just like us, regular people, who struggle to fit, to be approved, to be significant somehow, to something or somebody. I don't think there were any lose ends, as i read on one of the reviews, everything was settled at the end. There aren't lose ends when it comes to our dreams or aspirations, our personality and our ego, we're constantly changing, and re-thinking our acts and what we portray to ourselves and others... I'm getting too philosophical here. I just loved the movie so much, that i could keep writing about it for hours. A must see!
