Michael Keaton not winning an Oscar for this was a *crime*.

[@leogothisoscar271]

This and Whiplash came out not too far apart and are my 2 favorite films from 2014. I've seen them both numerous times since then and they never get old.

[@JimmyMacram]

That's a hell of a year.

[@JS-ct3kr]

I remember watching those two back to back one night with friends, it was a wild ass night.

[@BasedNate]

I hardly see anyone react to this movie, which is a shame because it's such a great movie.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

EXCELLENT choice! Fun Fact: There are 17 cuts in this entire film (AMAZING performances and camera work!!)

[@anzamoni]

I love this movie so much, so interesting and the way it was filmed. Perfect

[@steveswafen2528]

Love the dialogue in this, damn forgot how awesome this was. Great choice!

[@TheRebuilt1]

The movie, the score and the percussion are awesome just like this review. Respect for doing your own thing and not following whats popular to react to.

[@yuchiachen3075]

my man! you've been watching some really good movies! keep it up!

[@gabrielavilajr.9148]

🔥 🔥 🔥 Wondrous film-making by Alejandro Iñarritu and Emmanuel Lubezki.

[@JimmyMacram]

CRUSHED it.

[@lkf8799]

Have you seen Bojack Horseman? I binge watched it earlier this year and it has very similar vibes. Amazing show that deals with dark themes in an absurdist world so you can handle the heaviness with dark/silly humor. One of those shows that gets better with every season. 10/10

[@VanezArt]

Kudos for reacting to this movie man. 💪🏻

[@OliverJ08]

He really went from bird man to the vulture

[@matthewmcculloch2560]

Mike's girlfriend is played by Naomi Watts (David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive' which you should definitely react to!), and Birdman's girlfriend is played by Andrea Riseborough ('The Death of Stalin', which you've reacted to already).

[@suncore598]

A Birdman reaction. Let's go!

[@rickardroach9075]

Brilliant film. Thanks for checking it out.

[@gerardogonzalez4436]

Great reaction I like the last scene 'cause it summarizes the whole movie Thruthful and sincere Art vs Popular and commercial productions He did in fact jumped and died, thats what thuthful art wanna tell, but most people dont wanna get into serious stuff, so we go after that commercial part of entertainment, and thats what Sam (his daughter) was trying to do by watching his dad fly. Sam represented us, the spectators

[@misterprickly]

I love how, at no time, do you see the camera or where they cut the scenes.

[@mobiusbelts3607]

I think Jimmy would enjoy Vanilla Sky.

[@Fischstix95]

You got good taste my guy

[@idhunepijl1404]

Such an underrated movie. Definitely one of my favorites. If you want to see another cool overlooked movie look up “Inherent Vice” with Joaquin Phoenix. Not for everyone but I think its a really cool moodpiece/comedy.

[@idhunepijl1404]

By the way that homeless dude wasnt yelling about nothing. It was a part of Shakespeare’s Macbeth 🤭

[@dgillphotos]

Amen.

[@stobe187]

how about that fakeout with the other hand by norton :DD

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Wow

Trust me man Edward isn’t a difficult person to work with don’t believe what the internet says

[@samanthanickson6478]

continuous shooting…

[@kylerybak9137]

When are you gonna do The Leftovers ?

[@JimmyMacram]

It's been done.

[@kuhpunkt]

@@JimmyMacram Funny... the lady at 13:50 is from The Leftovers!

[@kuhpunkt]

@@JimmyMacram Andthe guy at 14:54 too! He played god!

[@kylerybak9137]

That's what made me think of it. God and Grace

[@kylerybak9137]

@@JimmyMacram found it sorry

[@MojiBeau]

I think you’re thinking of the word Pretentious 18:53

[@JimmyMacram]

That's exactly it. One of my favorite words, and I can never remember it 😂

[@BasedNate]

I thought that's what he was meaning as well

[@BrendanBeckett]

@@JimmyMacram The other recent example you didn't like can't have been 1917, right? Because the one shot worked perfectly for the story of that.

[@ronbock8291]

…and gratuitous. It’s usually gratuitous as well. Although the granddaddy of the single take is Russian Ark, which is well worth a watch. 300 years in one single uninterrupted take. Rope as well, but less successful, IMO.

[@robertknuist9754]

Keaton was robbed

[@christopherking4932]

Can you please watch a movie called MONEYBALL

[@JimmyMacram]

I’ve seen it

[@christopherking4932]

@@JimmyMacram oh ok, how about a movie called CASUALTIES OF WAR.

[@robertspain3742]

I am sorry, I turned this movie off after 30 mins. I am one of those people that were boreddddddd to death. Just me.

[@jmalonemyth]

Bored? The frenetic pacing of faux single shot camera, had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. To each his own.

[@BasedNate]

I'm curious as to which movies keep your attention now. Some examples of your favorites?

[@6alcantara]

The first time I saw it, I thought "wtf did I just watch"; but then I saw it again, and again, and again, and now I love it.

[@robertspain3742]

@@BasedNate Movies I like range from the MCU/DCU to spy thrillers (Enemy of the State and No Way Out) to gangster (Training Day and Godfather) to dystopian (Rollerball 1975 and Escape From NY) to westerns (Django and Unforgiven) to classics (any Sidney Poitier and John Wayne) to families (Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes) to historical dramas (The Green Book and 1917). So I watch a lot of different but Birdman just didn't do it for me.

[@bruno9764]

I was bored too, I guess i just didn't care about this story, I feel like this movie was only made for people who are into the film industry, and it didn't make it that accessible for those who aren't. I think the single take made me nauseated, idk why.
