Birdman stars Michael Keaton as an actor who hit it big 20 years ago in a superhero franchise. No one ever took him seriously as an actor after he played that role. Now a washed up has been, he is directing and starring in a Broadway production of a Raymond Carver short story as a comeback and to redeem himself. The movie is about the run up to opening night.

And there is a scene in which Edward Norton has an erection.

You're the second person to give it a thumbs up within my earshot. It's on my hit list.
 
i've wanted to see it since i saw the trailer, but i haven't yet. i've heard great things and not so great things. i really should get off my ass and go find out for myself.

I think it is a love it or hate it movie. For instance I was glued to the screen, yet a group sitting nearby walked out in 30 minutes. an unexpected side effect of the movie is that I feel depressed today, even semi suicidal. But that's on me, about me identifying with a particular theme which I won't explain since you have not seen it.
 
Loved it.

Michael Keaton in his underwear in Times Square made me laugh. And it made me sad.

Ed Norton was hell on wheels.

That makes sense.

Now read this and think about failed efforts and bandaged eyes in hospitals.

Interesting. I really want to watch the movie again, perhaps my opinion will change yet again.

I am a fan of Raymond Carver, but was unfamiliar with this particular short story. As an aside, I read a LOT of his work in the 90s. Fast forward to a year after my divorce (so we are talking about 15 years later), another Carver collection came out with two previously unreleased stories. The second time around his stories hit me like a punch in the gut. I didn't really get him in my 20s, though I thought I did at the time. No one does despair, self loathing fear and angst (and being resigned to those feelings) like Carver. And I felt the film really captured that. In so many ways I identified with it.
