About Film

Satya Prakash's POV

 "Birdman" is a film of melodrama & bohemian aesthetic.  

The film “Birdman” will stun you all with its long shot and astonishing drama that reveals a cinematic idiom “ Larger than life” .This film takes its protagonist  Riggon Thomson from scratch to the success of height where a bird can fly only.

Theatre world and reviewers have dumped this man to the state of no-existence seconded by his young daughter Sam. But his madness and killing attitude of making a magical film that will grip the audiences. The shattered and botched world of protagonist haunts him too during making the play. He comes out from it with peace and meditation and sometimes with exhibition of anger. However, he overcomes these all and he becomes a bird at last and starts flying. This can be said that this is a complete shift from a personal identity of actor to the identity of character of play. Such a moment creates " ART".

I salute the director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu who has given a film of melodrama and a Bohemian aesthetic of theatrics. The audiences are cheering this film across the world.

The film “Birdman” can be compared to the film “Black Swan” where a protagonist dancer performs herself as Swan.

Seduction of fame and prestige to make this film has taken it to the Academy Award. This film has grabbed four Oscars in 2014.

The film suggests artists of all forms of art to create their art with highest degree of devotion and passion that requires madness of ultimate patience and suffering.
