THE CAMERAWORK, THE EFFING CAMERAWORK!!!
This is just too great to put into words.
When I was twelve I knew I wanted to become a teacher. I honestly don't know why, I just knew, it was a fact for me. When I started studying at seventeen, I signed up for an improv acting class, urged on by a fellow student. I fell head over heels with acting and the theatre. It was the first and only time that it made me doubt everything I thought I knew about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Acting is addictive, it provides an opportunity to extrapolate yourself, to channel meaning, laughter, sadness or any other emotion through you towards an audience. And yes, it influences the ego which can be a terrifyingly…
look i'm way too much of a bisexual to not talk about when naomi watts totally pulled a mulholland drive
Can't quite back Scott Tobias' scorching takedown of this film, but I broadly agree with him that it's self-righteous without being convincing, and self-important without being substantial. The long shots wandering through the corridors of a Broadway theater to find characters shrieking at each other just felt endlessly redundant to me, like being on an exhausting treadmill and never getting anywhere. The fact that it doesn't end at the natural endpoint, but goes on and on and on after that, just adds to the impression that it's all sound and self-important fury, flashy enough to be impressive, full of technical virtuosity, and with some really striking images, but not really saying anything except Art Is Important, and People Interpret Art Differently. I'm aware that a lot of people love this film. I guess I also am embracing its message of People Interpret Art Differently, because I interpreted this as a pretty intellectually empty exercise in self-congratulation.
The king of all things depressing Alejandro González Iñárritu tries his luck at comedy in this tale of a washed up actor played by Mr. Mom Gung Ho Michael Keaton and his second chance at success. Intense yoga. Batman's underpants. Not so fat Zach. Badasses wear toupées? The way snob film fucks talk. Pussy share? Birdman has a groovy jazzy funky New Wave percussion feel. Derek Vinyard without his tattoos. Does Alejandro González Iñárritu ever yell "CUT?" Emma Stone and Naomi Watts in the same movie? Hell to the yes! Michael Keaton's teeth. Baby mama drama. Real motherfuckers kill it in stage plays. Edward Norton's hairstyle. Ganja intervention. Emma Stone has real acting talent. The color blue is everywhere in…
If someone says 'great camera work' again, I'll call the birdman.
But great camera work though.
