Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
Breaking The Fifth Wall
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 119 min
Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s Birdman is be like…
–
and now is like nothing or something
&
a superhero kinda like Condorman
&
his daughter is Emma Stone
who’s like a strung out/sarcastic Daisy Duck
&
Keaton’s trying to put on a Broadway show
in hopes of reviving his career
but it kinda goes like The Producers
with Zach Galifianakis as the hybrid lovechild
of Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder
&
one of his costars is a jerky Ed Norton
who’s out to spoil all the fun
and steal the spotlight
(and Andrea Riseborough is kinda doing the same thing)
which makes it feel a little About Eve
&
the fragile Naomi Watts is about to break
&
all of it seems like one giant artistical battle
like totally like Black Swan yo!
but not nearly as freaky or freakin awesome
&
but its got shades of the creative long-take editing of
Hitch’s BRILLIANT Rope
&
the even more creative and longer takes of
Alfonso Cuaron’s BRILLIANT Children of Men
&
luckily Amy Ryan is our center of gravity
and source of comfort
so what does it all add up to? an interesting movie with great technique, with a story that kinda grows old after an hour
glad to see Keaton back in action, but Oscars??? psssshah – this aint no Bettlejuice, or even Johnny Dangerously, so if he wins this year, it’s a make-up call for not winning for them roles
Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers
Birdman is fly enuff in limited release
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
