neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 • BiRDMAN or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) - 8/10 Undoubtedly self-indulgent in what it is, but the landmark Keaton performance and timeless direction of trying to stay relevant still holds up. Forgot how close this hits to home. That's what I'm talking about. Maybe his best work.

positive · AI labelView post →Michael Keaton plays a washed-up Broadway hopeful haunted by the bird-masked superhero that made him famous — and Alejandro G. Iñárritu shoots the comeback like one unbroken take. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014). Best Picture. Still dizzying.
neutral · AI labelView post →#24: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) The one-shot format kept the plot moving without much fat, which I appreciated. Ultimately, it came down to a washed-up, delusional actor trying to put on a play while surrounded by assholes, including his inner monologue. 82/100

neutral · AI labelView post →With his glory days seemingly behind him, former "Birdman" actor "Riggan" (Michael Keaton) is trying to prove he is still an acting force to be reckoned with by putting on a play on Broadway. He has adapted it, is directing it and has his name in lights too and just about everything he owns is riding on this. That includes his best friendship with "Jake" (Zach Galifianakis) whose patience is running out as his erratic and occasionally quite precious friend works his way throught the previews.…

positive · AI labelView post →I was drawn to watch this film for a couple of reasons. One, basically, was Michael Keaton. Overall I find movies are worth a look when he is in it. Also there is the play within a play, the stage production his character is doing, based on an actual short story by Raymond a carver. When I first started writing short stories and novels decades ago, I was influenced by Carver’s spare writing style and his realistic dialogue. I guess this particular short story has been used in a few short films…
neutral · AI labelView post →"I'm nothing. I'm not even here." The story to Birdman is about an wash up actor (Michael Keaton) - famous for portraying an iconic superhero - as he struggles to mount a Broadway play. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself. Okay in my review of Whiplash I bought this movie up mid way through the review just to give a heads up of when I'm going to watch it, because Birdman was my most anticipated film of 2014. But…
positive · AI labelView post →This film tells the story of an over-the-hill actor called Riggan Thomson (brilliantly portrayed by Michael Keaton) who was once the star of a superhero blockbuster franchise known as 'Birdman'. We are shown his journey into making a Broadway production starting with the initial rehearsals and read-throughs. What follows is a brilliant exploration of celebrity culture in an intriguing and satirical way. 'Birdman' could essentially be looked at as one continuous long shot. The camera constantly…
positive · AI labelView post →First of all, let me say, I like most of movies where Naomi Watts plays & thought this one would be good too, after all it has high ratings, but don't be fooled by famous actors which play in this movie. Don't be fooled & think that movie is good. No, not at all. This movie is complete junk. It supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't even find it funny. It's just like a big mess. I started watching it & I couldn't last longer than 30 minutes, it was so boring & uninteresting that I fell asleep. I…

I love Raymond Carver, long takes, theatre, Batman, NYC rooftops and alleyways, the blending layers of self-referential fiction, delirious fantasy, the creative process, the insane logistics of run-on cinematography, the seamless assembly of shifting environments, stepping into unresolved mental spaces, demonstrations of solitary madness and the unbearable anticipation of being, being judged, being booed, un-being, unhinging, delusional uppers,…
