Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) by Mloy X — 07 Feb 2016
Riggan (Michael Keaton): Just find me an actor. A good actor. Give me Woody Harrelson.
Jake (Zach Galifianakis): He's doing the next Hunger Games.
Riggan (Michael Keaton): Michael Fassbender?
Jake (Zach Galifianakis): He's doing the prequel to the X-Men prequel.
Riggan (Michael Keaton): How about Jeremy Renner?
Jake (Zach Galifianakis): Who?
Riggan (Michael Keaton): Jeremy Renner. He was nominated. He was the Hurt Locker guy.
Jake (Zach Galifianakis): Oh, okay. He's an Avenger.
Riggan (Michael Keaton): F - k, they put him in a cape too?
This was a strange film, good but weird. Michael Keaton was amazing and unsettling at the same time; but everyone of the cast members- Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and even Zach Galifianakis were all brilliant, they played their parts perfectly and were perfect for the each of the parts they played in the film. Overall, this was a little confusing but there were some nuggets of wisdom that was worth sitting through the haze of confusion. It was good, maybe deserves a second viewing to be fully understood; although I sincerely doubt I would ever consciously seek it out to watch it again, but if it happened to be on, I may give it another try.....maybe.
