A satire on the world of Hollywood and actors, Birdman, might be more of a movie for people somewhat related to cinema. Having said that, the acting, music, screenplay and especially direction eclipses all boundaries just like Boyhood did for me. Alejandro González Iñárritu makes this film in a way that I, personally haven't seen before with a single shot spanning the entire movie. Just like Boyhood, I give it credit for the way the movie was made. Michael Keaton portrays the washed-up actor, known in the glory days for his role as the superhero Birdman, who is trying to resurrect his career with a Broadway play. The movie is then an interaction and conflicts between him, his drug addict daughter (played by the wonderful Emma Stone), his publicist (played by Zach Galifianakis), his costar (another great performance by Edward Norton), his wife and most importantly, himself. Yes, it's a struggle that he is facing with himself that covers the majority of the story and Keaton does it exceptionally well.To recap, I liked the movie and it was very enjoyable. My best acting for 2014, however, still remains, a tight competition. Granted I haven't seen some other great movies of 2014 like Selma yet, but if I were to vote now, I would probably give the Oscar to Mr. Redmayne.
