Your mention of gimmick reminds me about Boyhood. I feel like they're both incredibly similar movies. They're ok movies with a really good gimmick. If you take away the gimmick though, does anyone give a shit about the movie anymore? In both cases the answer was no for me.

In its defense. One camera shooting is a gimmick, but a very difficult one. Its much lazier to shoot a bad drama a few weekends a year over the course of 12 years

Simmons and Hillenhoulie both deserve the win. Birdman was pointless from start to finish.

It was, but it was really more of a character movie anyway. The character being a washed up actor. It really would have been better 10 minutes shorter. That last 10 minutes kinda did piss me off and nearly ruin it. Like a reverse of the Gyllenhall spider movie.

But whatever, I'd watch Beedie do laundry for 2 hours and complain loudly that she was robbed if she didn't get an award.

That last 10 minutes is kind of key to the movie, without that a viewer might be left thinking this shit was real.

I liked it ok, whatever it takes to get Keaton's career going again I say.

I enjoy Keaton. The Company is really decent and a bit recent. My favorite movies he's done are probably The Paper and Gung Ho, but they're both old as shit now.

Keaton did well here, it's just that the movie is kind of ~bleh. I enjoyed the first few minutes the most because they were uber-focused on show issues, especially when Norton shows up. Then they just go off on this tangent about how pitiful Keaton's character is and I was waiting for them to get back to shaping lines and timing.

What? The last 10 minutes is the only part that makes you think that itcouldbe real.

Yeah the part where he miraculously didn't blow his head off, his life is perfect, then he takes off flying into the air...

chaos is likely correct, i am sticking with the birdman is real however. the dude having a mental breakdown and killng himself on stage makes the movie suck instead of just being ok.

I enjoyed this but I really don't get the best picture hype. I normally hate Anderson(aside from Life Aquatic) but I'd give it to GBH.
