Success in any field of work can get to a person’s head and cause them to do things that makes them not only lose touch with their roots but also disconnect from the people who’ve loved and supported them. It might not always be a problem at first but success doesn’t necessarily last forever. What comes up sometimes has to come crashing down. There are quite a few film narratives that look at this theme such as the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. A new film will also look at this although in a lighter way: Birdman.
Starring Michael Keaton and Naomi Watts amongst an all-star cast, Birdman is a black comedy that looks at the story of an actor once famous for portraying a known superhero as he tries to put on a Broadway play. Michael Keaton is the lead role and that fact alone makes the film quite intriguing considering he was, in real life, known as everybody’s favourite Dark Knight.
A clip of the film has been released. Keaton and Edward Norton are in the clip entitled “Fight Club” which instantly made me want to reference the film that arguably propelled Norton to fame until I remember the first rule of Fight Club. The clip is somewhat confusing on its own - from what can be gathered it seems to be two grown men arguing and ending in one punching the other. In context with the rest of the film, it could be quite funny, but it doesn’t seem to be that enticing as a stand-alone clip. There’s only one way to find out and that would be to watch the rest of the film when it comes out right at the beginning of 2015.
