Review of Bird (1988) by Adam F — 14 Aug 2007
Overlooked and underappreciated biopic on the life of bebop dynamo Charlie "Bird" Parker. People often forget that Clint Eastwood can direct and this here is testament to the fact. Not the easiest role to play as Bird lived a fast life in such a short span of time but Forest Whitaker holds his own.
Great lighting and casting. Enthralling but ultimately tragic.
