I have no idea what kind of dark magic Alejandro González Iñárritu used in order to make it look like there were no cuts in this movie, but it was freaking mind-blowing.

I enjoyed every ****ing minute of this genius directing, writing and acting masterpiece.

The trailer did not want me to go watch it, but the reviews did the trick. I'm glad they did because holy shit...

I have no idea what that technique/method/style is, but you're right. It was highly effective for this style of movie. You're never alone with this movie. You go back and forth between characters, but there's never really any seque or anything. Seems like the viewer just gets handed off between characters. At some points, it was almost like the audience was the alter ego watching Riggan's life.

Yeap. It literally looked like it was all done in one single take. LMAO

Watched Birdman last night. What a confusing irrational mess of a movie that was. How on Earth did it get such reviews? It tries way too hard to be an uber-creative, profound artsy piece. But it just didn't work for me at all. There were certain aspects of the movie that were pretty amazing. Like the camera work and the way they portrayed the hectic spinning environment. But overall I was really disappointed. Really unfulfilling movie.

What was so confusing? I though it was actually pretty straight forward?

Saw this a few days ago. Very enjoyable.

It reminded me of listening to a good bop jazz band. Fast and loose.

Some of the characters were a bit miscast (Stone, Galifinakis) but Keaton and Norton were just spot on choices for those characters.

Okay, just wasted two ****ing hours of my life watching this flaming pile of dogshit. I kept thinking this has to get better any minute now. Guess what?????? It ****ing didn't! It kept getting worse and worse and worse and finally thank sweet baby jesus it was over!

If you are even thinking of watching this DON'T! Do something more enjoyable like whacking off with 80 grit sandpaper or pulling your toenails off with pliers.

**** my life!

Directing was awesome. I thought Norton was better than Keaton. Inarritu should win best director, but I don't think for a second this should win best picture.

I watched this movie last night on DirecTV on demand. I got out the sandpaper and pliers about 35 minutes into it. I just knew I was going to hate this movie.. FU Academy Awards. You suck ass.

phisherman 02-22-2015 10:54 AM

This movie was fantastic. For all the people that hated it, which movie should win Best Picture?

NewChief 02-22-2015 11:00 AM

I'm curious if people's familiarity with Carver's short story that they're adapting played any role in audience reactions. So those that hated it: have you read "What We Talk About When Wr Talk About Love"?
