Review of The Birdcage (1996) by Rcavey92212 — 02 Jul 2020
I hated this movie when I first saw it as a gay teen. Although I was flamboyant it brought to light all the stereotypes and characteristics I was ashamed off. Since than I've learned to enjoy it. And revisiting it now I find it absolutely hilarious. Sure the movie is filled with stereotypes but its celebrated and in a time where we are being more open minded and exploring the film is a positive representation of being ones self and loving yourself for it. Robin Williams and Nathan Kane are beyond spectacular, Hank Azaria is a scene stealer, and Gene Hackman, Diane Ladd, Calista Flockhart, Christine Baranski and sexy Dan Futternan are solid as well. All these years later the film stands as not just an amazing comedy but a lesson in acceptance and celebration.
Budget: $31m.
Box Office: $185.
