the meaning behind the story,how i see it

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2015)

i always thought that a good movie is one that makes you question your condition and this one certainly does this. it makes you think about what you would do for fame and recognition, how far would one go for touching their dreams. personally,i consider it a good movie, as it displays the human condition as it is, with its demons and with its interior fights. the wars that take place in Riggan's heart are the main thing that kept my interest during the two hours. i must admit that it seemed to be quite boring at first and also somehow a cliché. the father that is not a part of his daughter's life because of his carrier, which leads to her destroying drug addiction. of course, there are the fights between him and his former wife {the mother of his child), their divorce, his inability to build a new relationship, his inability to get over the loud voice of his frustration. nonetheless,these aspects manage to give an "extra sparkle" to the movie,because Riggan will eventually get by all of these. it kills its demon,its "birdman", he shuts his voice by listening to it, he starts to fly by cutting his wings. i believe that death is seen here as flying without wings. i enjoyed this movie because it was more than just a story about an actor who failed to exceed his frustration, it was actually a story about how sometimes listening to our demons, no matter how disturbing their voice is, can make you come alive. i think Birdman is not a movie about death, but about revival. just as the Phoenix bird recreates itself from its own ashes, the human being must find the light in the darkness of his failures.
