Birdman film review

Review of Birdman:

Birdman, with its black humor style, attacked various rules of Hollywood and showed the audience a realistic and cruel Hollywood. For example, superhero movies are popular in Hollywood and even the whole world, attracting many popular male stars to play superheroes in the sea. But in the eyes of director Gonzalez, these are extremely ironic. Many talented actors become popular because they play superheroes, while talented actors are miserable. In the play, Gonzalez also criticized this series of stars by name.

The film was also well received for its "a mirror to the end" shot. The first half of the film is really a mirror to the end, and the second half is composed of multiple long shots. The film finally consists of 12 long shots. Under the ornament of jazz drums, the audience followed the photographer's long lens side by side and came to the little Broadway theater where the hero worked and lived. In the dark, secret and narrow theater passage, they watched the hero deal with various relationships with his daughter, lover and colleagues. The lens is smooth and natural, which makes people feel very comfortable.
