Birdman review: a pretentious movie Birdman by Inarritu has been awarded as best movie of the year at the Oscar 2015. Onestly, there weren't realistic opponents. The last year will not remembered for masterpiece. However, Birdman has been indicated by many people like a masterpiece. I dont' agree. It is a good film but too much issues are mixed in this movie. The result is an ambitious and pretentiuos bunch of scenes without a real true message. Moreover, the registic style (that is filmed all movie as it was a single big scene) isn't nothing more than a confusing method. The drums which are present very otten during the movie didn't have any effect on me. I had prefered a traditionally style but with more contents. Also di dialogues are empty and overrated in my opinion, full of rhetoric.The final scene, which in the intention of the regist it's tought for leave an open end, is a forcing. Why? I don't want make spoiler so I just say: look it and than let's comment this post! A positive note was the performance of Edward Norton who has confermed his big talent. In general I think Birdman is a good film, but not a masterpiace as all describe it. Rather, I think it is really overrated because it don't say nothing in particular. (this review is deliberately provocative... my objective was reaching the attention) thanks!

In general I think Birdman is a good film, but not a masterpiace as everyone claims it to be. all describe it. RatherInstead, I think it is really overrated, (conjunction) because it don't didn't (past tense. It is over) say nothing anything (Use anything. English doesn't use two negatives in one sentence. Nothing is a negative.) in particular.

(this review is deliberately provocative... my objective was reaching to catch the attention of my readers!)

thanks!

 


Marco, I saw this movie advertised at the beginning of another movie I saw on DVD. I know that everyone has different opinions on movies. I don't know when I will see it since I wait for the movie to come out on DVD first and rent them from my library. I hope I can see it this year, and get back (write back) to you about my opinion of the movie.
Keep writing. Your opinions are very interesting and worth reading.

Birdman Review: A Pretentious Movie  (Capitalize the first letter of each word of your title.)


Birdman by Inarritu has been was (it happened and is over) given the Academy Award as for Best Movie of the Year at the Oscars 2015. Honestly, there weren't any realistic opponents. The last year will not remembered ( you have past and future in the same sentence) for masterpiece. However, Birdman has been indicated labeled by many people like a to be a masterpiece. (Many people have commented that Birdman is a masterpiece.) I dont' don't agree. It is a good film, (comma after conjunctions and, but, so, etc...) but too much issues there are too many issues involved are mixed in this movie. The result is an ambitious (do you mean ambiguous?) and pretentiuos bunch of scenes without a real true message.


Moreover, the registic style (that is, the whole movie is filmed all movie as if it was a  one big single big scene) (that sentence is awkward.  one and single represent 1.  You are repeating yourself here.) isn't extremely confusing. nothing more than a confusing method. The drums, which are present (put between commas.  which... can be removed and the sentence still makes sense.) very( very is not necessary) otten often during the movie, didn't have any effect on me. I had I would have prefered (talking about the past) a traditionally style movie but with more contents.

 (content is singular)
Also, di the dialogues (dialogue... meaning all of the words in the movie.  It is one big group of words which is singular.) are was (past tense, because you already saw the movie) empty and overrated in my opinion. (end of thought) It was full of rhetoric. The final scene, which in the intention of the regist (I don't understand) it's tought for leave an open end, is a forcing. (Not sure about this sentence.  If you want to rewrite it, I will look at it.) Why? I don't want make spoiler, (conjunction punctuation) so I will just say: look watch (use watch when you are talking about something that is moving like a movie, TV series, a dog or baby playing) it, and than then (then means next)  (than is used to compare)   (then and than are often confusing and even native English speakers incorrectly write than when they mean then) let's comment on this post!
On a positive note, Edward Norton's performance was excellent. was the performance of Edward Norton who has confermed his big talent.  OR  Edward Norton's performance was magnificent. (This is better than excellent.  I don't know which you want to use.)

I totally agree with you Marco; Birdman was really overrated and I don't know how on earth such a movie could win anything! It could win only the worst movie award ;)) There was no story, they were talking about non sense and honestly I no longer believe in the Oscars!
