    Birdman or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance

    Reviewed by
    creative@

    Birdman is about a place of transition. The main actor, played by Michael Keaton, is neither a movie actor nor is he a committed stage actor. His relationships are pseudo relationships even to himself. The movie depicts a world that is a place of loss of identity. He was, is no longer, in love with his ex-wife, his girl friend, his alter ego, his daughter. His attempts at Buddhism mirror the fad of contemporary society to try to find a new way of relating to vitality in a whirl wind of confusion. The merging of levels of reality and fantasy are another aspect of the turmoil in a time when there is no right, or wrong. The world that the characters are caught up in pushes against the concept of truth. Is a person standing on a building in order to kill themselves or is it a movie? Is the force that we hold illusory or is it actual? Choices, narcissism, shifting ways of relating to one another such as the internet being more charged than human interaction have left the us without grounding. The film explores the edge of the lost land.
