Ask for 800 words for the movie "Bird Man"

There is a reason to disturb a person. I've been bothering Nicholas? Cage. No matter what he plays, I can't watch it. Therefore, this "Birdy" was postponed.

In Birdy, Nicholas? Cage plays Al, Birdy's only friend. Al has two basic shapes in the film: one is that before the Vietnam War, he was a happy and absurd young man; The second was in the Vietnam War, when his face was blown to pieces, he always covered most of his face when he left the country. There were two results: first, I finished watching the movie, and second, I finally found something he hated: first, his face, and second, his sad eyes, which are famous all over the world and can only be described as "bereavement". I just want to go up and stomp a few feet at a glance-dare to talk to my Al? Pacino is better than the electric eye, damn it, it also matches.

Fortunately, he is neither sad nor often shows up, so I think Birdy is Nikolai? Cage's best movie. The actor who plays Birdy has a good figure, rich body language and good looks. The director is also very good, especially those shots taken from the perspective of birds, which are particularly beautiful. Of course, the best is the script.

The script is good, but it is adapted from the novel of the same name. Screenplays adapted from novels rarely make mistakes. In the final analysis, movies are art and need a literary foundation. Therefore, as long as Zhang Yimou's films are adapted into novels, the problem is not very big. Once there is no good script, he is equivalent to an MTV director. Of course, the adaptation of The Unbearable Lightness of Life is broken, but the rotten of Love in Prague is not the same as that of House of Flying Daggers.

The script is good and mysterious, and the last shot is presented. Five seconds before the end of the film, Birdy flew down from the roof. I thought it was over, and I thought, what the fuck is this movie? ! But in the end, another scene appeared: Birdy stood firmly on the roof of the next step, looked up and asked the arriving Al: What? Let me choose the top ten movie endings, and Birdy is definitely one of them. Imagine the ending: Birdy flies down, Al screams and rushes downstairs and sees Birdy covered in blood and smashed to the ground-what the fuck is this movie?

This is the happy ending. It points out that Birdy is not crazy or paranoid, he is always sober. Everyone thinks he's crazy, even Al. Even I almost think he's crazy. But the director made it clear in the last shot that he was normal. But if he's sober, he's always been a bird. What's the problem? It's obviously instinctive resistance.

Al and Birdy used to be a happy young couple. Al is cheerful, absurd and bold, while Birdy is more gentle, shy and introverted. Birdy likes birds. It is normal. He's just a big boy. His favorite bird is not an eagle owl or something like that, but a soft little yellow bird. This is the externalization of the character's personality, which embodies his gentle, sensitive and introverted personality, just like this bird.

Then there are two scenes, which are very important. One is that they are chasing dogs in the street, and the other is that the little yellow bird was almost eaten by the cat.

In Chasing Dogs, Al and Birdy help a gangster chase dogs in the street to get some money. Dogs wandering in the street were rounded up and sent to slaughterhouses for electrocution, bloody skinning, and then chopped up and sold. The lens is bloody. The two children were scared, surprised and angry. At first glance, it seems strange. Why write such a completely unreliable play? It has nothing to do with birds or anything. Immediately after this scene, a cat sneaked into the house and almost killed the bird.

When you have a look after it, you will understand the purpose of these two games. At that time, the whole social atmosphere was like a big slaughterhouse. Children in the street were hunted down like dogs and finally sent to die in batches. Birdy instinctively felt this faint fear for the first time, because he was the weakest and most sensitive. There is only one scene of Birdy in Vietnam, which is from the perspective of birds. First, he flew very low, flying over corpses and wars. Finally, he flew very high and threw Birdy, who was extremely afraid, into a hell on earth full of wars and corpses. Recalling this, Birdy cried.

On the other hand, Al was destroyed in the war. He was angry, beating and cursing. He knew he was destroyed, but he was not sure who or what destroyed him. He keeps talking to Birdy, but Birdy never talks. Until Al said this: "Bird, we are all finished. We have never been in control of our lives ... I feel like an unwanted dog, remember? ..... When the shells landed on my face, I could smell the burnt meat. I can't touch the wound. I don't know what I look like. Am I still under the bandage, or do I look like an army butcher? ............ Shit! What's good about their world! We'll stay here. You're right. We'll hide here and not talk to anyone. We often go crazy and climb walls! Tucao! Throw shit at them! "

With these words, Birdy suddenly spoke. Al said so much before, but Birdy ignored him because he thought Al was talking nonsense and had nothing to say to him. This passage hit home, so Birdy spoke. Most of the time, Birdy has no lines and only uses body language to express his feelings. Al spoke out his deep wounds and true thoughts step by step.

Birdy's action in the hospital was not madness, but silent protest and condemnation: The human world is so fucking ridiculous that I have nothing to say to you, not only not talking, but also inappropriate. So he looked at the window day and night and wanted to fly away from this absurd world day and night.

Birdy wants to be a bird. The more hopeless this hope is, the more it can reflect the madness of this world. Both children's boyhood was destroyed by lotus flower, death and war. So when Al left for Vietnam, the little yellow bird in Birdy hit the glass and committed suicide. The children's good times are gone forever, their hopes are dashed and everything is ruined.

So, of course, the final outcome must be like that, otherwise, Birdy will really go crazy. But the truth is, the world is crazy, not these two children.

Birdy is very different from other anti-Vietnam movies, such as Born on July 4th. I'd say it's deeper. It did not condemn the Vietnam War by showing the cruel scenes of the war or the loss of returning from the war. In Birdy, there are only three or four war scenes. Its foothold lies in the destruction of human spirit by war. It is not rational and speculative, but strong and instinctive. This is the profound point of Birdy. What it destroys is not people's faith, national honor, democracy, rationality, or these upward things, but it is directed at people's hearts. This kind of mental trauma has no possibility of healing. Therefore, the hero of Birdy, Bird, is not a social critic as Kan Kan said, but a big boy as sensitive and soft as a bird. He didn't say anything, even rarely spoke, but his feelings were complete and full. He likes the wind, the sea, roller coasters, newly hatched chickens and freedom. But the war ruined everything.

Compared with Born on the 4th of July, Birdy is also about a young man's Vietnam nightmare, which is obviously superior to Birdy's method of abandoning rational thinking and directly showing his trauma. Besides, seeing too many people and things in the war, I became an unconditional anti-war. The result of war is always negative, without compensation, it is a pure loss.
