I'm not entirely sure what I expected from this movie. I definitely expected it to be good, but in reality... it was different. When I first originally heard about this movie I honestly thought it had something to do with
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and after realized that it wasn't, I settled into a film about a washed up actor who used to be the star of a beloved comic book movie franchise. Over the past couple years he's gone off the deep end. His
Birdman days are over, he has a drug addicted daughter fresh out of rehab, and a divorced wife. he's also trying to write, direct, and act in his own play with certain actors he struggles dealing with. All while arguing with his imaginary
Birdman persona. This movie was insanely well done. Not only was the cinematography simply fantastic, but the acting was insanely good too. This movie was brilliantly made to look like it was filmed in one continuous shot. It wasn't, but it's insane to think of how much time it took to make it look that way. This movie is nominated for 3 acting Oscars and to be honest, I don't know if any of them deserve it. I'm not saying any of them were bad, they were all fantastic, but Oscar worthy? Out of all of them though, Michael Keaton did the absolute best. His contrast between his
Birdman character, to his on stage character, to just his real life person Riggan Thomsan was simply amazing. Everyone else, especially Stone, Norton, and Galifianakis did especially well. The writing was also well done and very "artistic" in a sense, it just kinda flows really well with lots of imaginary imagery. This movie can be summed up as a great, fantastic piece of art.
