Birdman: mistakes and gains from mistakes
Created by Maid 2004-12-2818: 22: 42
Because Nicolas Cage saw this film, the name printed on the disc was puzzling, not to mention. Anyway, it has nothing to do with this film.
The highlight of this movie is actually not Nicholas, but a strange and handsome face. Later, I searched. He is an actor named Matthew Modine. I don't know him yet, but his role deeply touched me.
At the beginning of the film, a pair of eager and desperate eyes stared at a small window and a series of question marks popped up in my mind. Nicholas plays a sergeant named Al, whose face was injured and bandaged in the war. He goes to the hospital to visit his childhood playmate Bird. The bird child has a mental problem, squatting in the corner all day, with dull eyes and no words ... He doesn't know this best friend.
The doctor told Al that if the bird continued like this, it would be sent to a mental hospital in three days. And will stay in that dark place forever. In order to save his best friend, Al began a journey of memories-
Bird boy is different from other children in his hometown town. He doesn't play with others, only with his own pigeons. Because of this pigeon, he and Al became friends. They are committed to raising pigeons, but bird boy is not just a hobby, he loves ... he always fantasizes that he can fly and keep working hard. The study of flying and birds is quite thorough. Therefore, he attracted a girl in the class. However, he has no interest in men and women, and all his energy is devoted to birds.
Birdman boy has an autocratic mother and a considerate father. The poverty of the family has become an obstacle for birds to raise birds, but the father has done several jobs for his son and completed his son's hobby. I think if the father knew that his son's love for birds had reached the point where he couldn't extricate himself, he wouldn't have sacrificed so much for a heartbroken son. Baby Bird and Al try to earn a little money and complete the baby bird's flight plan. They bought an old car that can no longer be used. Because of their mistake, they were taken to the police station, and Al's father bought their car in a rage. Because of this, Bird Boy and Al's father had a big fight. No one has ever done this, which surprised Al. He doesn't know where the bird man got the courage and why he was so persistent. ...
Bird children began to feed canaries, and they gave birth to a group of young lives. Bird children pay close attention to their feeding process. He made no response to the girl throwing herself at him. Not only is he indifferent to sex, but he has no interest in sex at all. He took off his clothes and lay down with the canary. Al thinks he had a wonderful evening with that girl. He was very disappointed when he learned the truth. He doesn't know that child anymore. He felt that the child had reached a morbid level.
Al left to join the army. At the same time, Bird Boy's favorite canary was killed on the glass. Faced with this situation, the bird almost collapsed. He witnessed a bomb killing a large number of birds in the war, and he cried hysterically. From then on, I fell into the morbid situation at the beginning of the film.
Al tried to evoke memories of the bird child. Everything seems to be in vain. He became angry and growled, and the birds and children cringed. This makes me feel more terrible than war. Al's words broke people's hearts. At the last minute of the deadline, Al still didn't give up. Finally, the bird boy talked to him. There is only Al in his world, and he doesn't talk to other people, so he is still regarded as a mental patient. Al fled the hospital with him. Bird boy spread out his hands and jumped down from the windowsill. Al shouted in despair. Unexpectedly, the place where the bird jumped was actually a platform.
This is the end of the movie. As for the subsequent development, the audience can imagine for themselves.
The whole movie is full of sadness, but the ending of the story is unexpectedly full of hope. I can't wait to see this movie that attracts me too much, and my heart is filled with emotion. Especially the bird's eyes, sadness makes me feel infinite sympathy.
Is there anyone in this world who loves one thing so much?
Is this a kind of luck or misfortune?

The movie Birdman
I saw this movie a long time ago. Today, I talked to a friend about the Beatles' Free as a Bird and mentioned this movie. I really want to get back the feeling of watching movies at that time, so I found this film review a long time ago. ......
Bird man: symptom analysis under Foucault's care
Dangel
It is almost impossible to correctly evaluate Foucault, the most influential philosopher since the 1960s. His thoughts spread widely, almost touching western philosophy, literature, social science and other fields. His theory seems to be a reflection on the theory and a discussion on different aspects of culture, so the precise language can not summarize and contain Foucault's theory, and the crazier language expression seems to be more convincing: Foucault, a non-historical historian.
The hidden drawbacks of modern life cannot escape Foucault's sharp eyes. Imprisonment, psychosis, homosexuality and medicine are all Foucault's research fields, but these seemingly extremely marginal topics have just become the original motive force to promote social operation hidden in Foucault's exposition, and are the most sensitive and weak links of social power institutions. Therefore, Foucault's theory is an analysis of the mechanism of social operation. But Birdman can be regarded as a film text of Foucault's theory.
It is still a very bold and uncertain thing to use Foucault's theory to run through the critical discourse of a film completely, but fortunately Foucault aims to establish a theory of time and space, so it is not easy to make mistakes when judging a specific phenomenon with such a very inclusive thing, and other things depend on the spectators to understand it carefully, because I will not make it clear.
About madness
In Birdman, Birdman loves birds by nature and dreams of flying freely like birds. In front of him, a cruel war claimed the lives of many birds. He began to refuse to talk to the human who killed the bird and curled up like a wounded bird. Birdman's young friend Al has all the hobbies of ordinary people, such as pursuing girls and being keen on * * *. However, he can understand birdman and keep company with him. After Birdman was sent to the hospital, Al repeated the past to Birdman every day in order to cooperate with the hospital's treatment work-to make Birdman return to normal, and to arouse Birdman's memory and desire to talk to people. In the film, there are two completely different attitudes towards the strange nature of birdman, and the representatives of these two attitudes are Al and Weiss.
Weiss is the spokesman of the rational world. He appeared as a doctor, trying to regulate the crazy world according to the rules of civilized world. Al is the transition between rationality and irrationality. At first, he saved the irrational/crazy bird man on behalf of the rational/civilized world. The difference between Weiss and Al can only be seen from their different adjectives for birdman. Wes said Birdman was "crazy", while Al thought Birdman was just "very special". After repeated efforts, he found himself assimilated by the birdman-the persuaded was persuaded by the persuader. (The cruel memory of the war is getting stronger and stronger * * * on his nerves), and he also began to curl up his hands and feet like a wounded bird. It was not until later that he realized an ulterior secret: "He said to Birdman,' If Weiss knew what I was thinking, he would lock me up, too. ""This time he has been tortured by the irrational and crazy world. He even apologized to Birdman and said, "I shouldn't have kept you." But at this time, Weiss no longer believed that Al would continue to punish Birdman according to his wishes, and he had lost his effect on him. In other words, Al stood on the opposite side of the rational world. He was also regarded as a madman.
Let's take a look at Al's reaction after he became a "madman", that is, how he fought against the rational world. He also refused to talk to the human who killed himself, but unlike Birdman, he howled to express his refusal. When the nurse asked him to talk to him kindly, he said, "I have been talking since I came in, but no one will listen, even if they are not crazy." This sentence is actually a righteous expression based on a complete set of values system formed by himself. He looked at the whole world around him with clear and outstanding natural eyes, which is undoubtedly a world full of cruelty, tension, depression and madness. To some extent, this is a more "rational" refusal, a positive refusal and a conscious choice.
"I don't know if those bandages are me. God, I don't want a patchwork face. " The existence of this society is at the expense of stifling ideals and true freedom, which is also the theme of this film.
On the right to speak
Foucault believes that some taboos appear in their true colors, while others appear in the form of morality. People generally shape themselves according to the will of others in society or the will of mainstream ideology, and this will is a controlled right to speak. In the real society, the right to speak has always been in the hands of the dominant party. There is no doubt that the so-called "truth" and "truth" are actually the result of scrutiny under the manipulation of power discourse. The party with the right to speak exerts power, while the passive party either manipulates the same words or refuses to listen and speak and remains silent.
Piano lesson, a film with strong feminist color, is a typical film that refuses to speak in order to keep the right to speak. Because the heroine can't express her normal will as a woman, she refuses to talk to the patriarchal society to safeguard her rights. This feminist silence is maintained until the heroine finds the man she loves and leaves a foreign land with him.
Obviously, the film Birdman also has the problem of the right to speak. Compared with human beings, although no one can enter each other's discourse system-human beings speak normal moral discourse, and bird people only talk to birds mentally, "I want to climb up and talk to them"-it is obvious that human discourse occupies a dominant position. So Birdman was diagnosed as being on the verge of mental illness by modern medicine, and he was treated by modern medical means-the purpose was to force him to speak "human words".
As Birdman said to Al at the end of the film, "I don't know what to say to them." Birdman knows what he is worth talking about from beginning to end. Foucault talked about the appreciation of silence in his talk "Self-portrait". He said that there are many ways to speak, and there are many ways to be silent. Some silence is strong hostility, while others mean deep friendship, reverence and even love. Unfortunately, Birdman's silence is a hostile silence.
At first, Al tried to talk to Birdman, trying to save him from the tragic memory of the war. But what he didn't expect was that Birdman didn't lose the ability to speak, just didn't know what to say to them. Naturally, he didn't know what to say to Al. Only when al woke up from the bombing of the war and faced his broken company did he say, "I still want him to be the original Al, not a monster, their world."
At this moment, the bird man spoke.
As Foucault elaborated in "Madness and Civilization": "My question is, at what cost can the subject tell the truth about himself? What price does the subject have to pay to tell the truth that he is crazy? "
About paranoia
According to the viewpoint of psychiatry, Birdman should be diagnosed as severe delirium. "Some people think they are wild animals, so they imitate the sounds and actions of wild animals. Some people think it is glassware, so they avoid passers-by to prevent it from being broken; Some people are afraid of death, but they are often more likely to lead to their own premature death. Some people imagine that they have committed some kind of crime. Whenever friends approach them, they are frightened and tremble, thinking that newcomers will arrest them and sentence them to death. " Delirium has always been isolated and fragmented, and has not damaged the overall reason.
Bird people love birds, associate with birds, confuse themselves as birds, and strive to fly freely in the sky like birds. This idea occupied almost all of his life, and when it developed to the extreme, it became a disease. Birdman jumped high and got a chance to talk to birds at the cost of his life. He made his own clothes and slept naked in a birdcage.
Birdman's unusual mental state is reflected in his three carefully planned flights. The first flight was an accidental flight. Birdman and Al climbed the viaduct on the construction site, and Birdman accidentally slipped down. However, at a dangerous moment, Birdman "flew" down with an extremely elegant gesture. He flew for the first time, but broke his leg.
The second flight was carefully planned. Birdman made himself big wings, exercised his arm strength every day, and counted the flapping times every minute, but when they really flew down the hillside of the garbage dump, the result was that Birdman flew for a distance and fell into the sewage pit. This is the second tragic ending about flying.
The third time, Birdman finally flew, but this flight was not in reality, but in fantasy, a spiritual flight. He said, "I flew, as if in a dream, but not a dream." You can't describe it, you can only feel it. "
This state of birdman is a state of returning to nature and a more primitive state: I would rather die than be reborn as a bird. Only in modern society can he be regarded as a madman. "It is impossible to find madness in the wild, and madness can only exist in society."
For people, people can't fly, they can only jump and try to fly down from a height like a bird, and the result is a heavy fall. However, Birdman fell gracefully. How exciting that moment was. For this moment of flight, Birdman seems to ignore the result after the flight and even forget the existence of life. This is the spirit advocated by Foucault:
"For me, that kind of pure and complete happiness is associated with death. I even hope to have that kind of (laughter) excessive happiness, and I would rather die for it. "
"Once I was hit by a car in the street. I'm walking. For a few seconds, I felt that I was dying, and that kind of happiness was really, really strong. It was about seven o'clock in the summer evening, the weather was fine, the sun was setting and the sky was blue. This is the most wonderful scene in my memory so far. "
Foucault's life is also a "Nietzschean exploration". Like Faust, he pursued "extreme experience" all his life and never stopped. Until the end, I was addicted to the "bliss" experience, which in turn was taken away by the "devil". Foucault's research on cultural boundaries is a supplement to his social marginal psychology.
About imprisonment
From the image, although it is not described as a prison, the hospital presented in the film is obviously a place where prisoners are held. The hut where Birdman lives is like a prison cell, but there is only a small skylight, so that he can see the blue sky outside. This window is so small that he can only stare intently in one direction, but the skylight is also covered with barbed wire that denies freedom. A ray of blue light in the sky enveloped the curled-up birdman, which was his light of hope, and only this light was waiting for the birdman.
At the beginning of the film, the rolling clouds in the blue sky are in sharp contrast with the overlapping images of dense barbed wire, which also casts a tragic color on the opening of the film. Birdman, with his classic posture: toes hooked up like a bird's paw, hands tightly curled up and naked, squatting on the railing of the bed like a baby, looking out of the window with his head held high, like a canary always ready and dreaming of flying high.
Birdman used his body to fight against the environment in which he was imprisoned. Through its strong body, it reveals a human existence born free and liberated. If these body gestures imply their dreams, it is because these things especially publicize their unrecognized freedom.
Foucault said: people can't confirm their reason by imprisoning their neighbors. What courage it takes for imprisoned people to always strengthen their beliefs without being subverted by another kind of madness. At least, the madness of birdman is not the madness of being thrown into prison, but the madness of being thrown into darkness. In the dark, he can only communicate with the most secret and lonely things in his heart.
Birdman wants to use this prominent gesture to fight against a mechanism of power generation and exercise, a custom of taming special people into circus animals, so that all people in the world have this gesture, not the so-called agreement. /kloc-a set of "management" skills that have appeared since the 0/8th century, and prison is only one of its manifestations, which is its deformation in the field of punishment.
Ending: the director's attitude
Generally speaking, the director of this film must have a certain degree of mental depression or madness to put such a bizarre story on the screen.
Allen? Parker photographed Birdman's real life and inner world with an appreciative attitude and aesthetic vision. Birdman's behavior, from a secular and normal point of view, is undoubtedly morbid, crazy and irrational. However, when the war is accused as a crazy and inhuman action against the will of nature, when the living people can't sleep in the cold sound of the machine now, madness is the normal state restored in this context.
In Allen? Parker, a director who is quite perceptive and has a deep sense of social responsibility, also made a more direct intentional and symbolic film like Lost Wall, and then the modern way complained and even shouted more directly about modern life.
The works of art in the modern world frequently erupt from madness, which undoubtedly does not show the rationality of the world, the significance of these works, or even the connection and fracture between the real world and these artists.
"Where there are works of art, there will be no madness", which is the most fundamental reason for the existence of the postmodern film text Birdman.

brief introduction

The later Tang Dynasty was destroyed by Empress Yan, and the princess fled under the protection of Liu Ruoxiong () and Sai Xiaojing (). Before her father died, she crossed a Yu Di with the secret of the treasure, and the princess could restore the country if she found the treasure. Three people got separated on the road. The princess strayed into Xiahou Valley and met Xia Houdun (Liu Ximing), the last prince of the previous dynasty. He was forced by his aunt (Kara Wai) to practice the Nine Swords of Dugu, so that he could subjugate his country, and his national enemy was the princess. But because they didn't reveal their identity, they gave their lives to save each other several times in the latter, giving birth to true love. Liu Ruoxiong was captured by Yan (Liu Shun) and used his interests as bait to make him rebel.
