Birdman Movie Review

Today i am doing a review on the Award winning film: Birdman. This film won 9 Oscars including Best Motion Picture, and in my opinion fully deserved them. The story is about a egotistical and delusional man who, after being the (fictional) iconic actor for the superhero Birdman, gives up hollywood, wanting to reclaim his former glory on broadway. While being haunted by a voice in his head and the feeling of not meaning anything, he tries to write, direct, and star in his own adaptation of a book for the stage. But his mental condition is far from perfect,that plus a drug addicted daughter and an angry ex-wife, and a huge but rapidly falling ego, ultimately leads to his mental decline. Much more happens in this film that i do not mention, because i feel it would spoil the story for you, but what i really find amazing about this film is how so little actually happens it, yet so much happens, it is so very psychological and metaphorical, and really deserved every award it won. Truly an exceptional film, and i feel it will do a lot for raising awareness mental illness. If you have not yet seen it, I highly recommend you do.
