A life after Birdman

After I watched Birdman the first thing I did was to delete my Facebook account. I already quit Twitter a week ago. Even I've got rid of that Foursquare/Swarm thing which used to be my favorite a while ago. What has Birdman got to the with it ? Not the main reason but a trigger definitely.

The movie is beyond a cinema experience, for me actually it was a real torture. Hollywood was criticizing their own industry we as the audience was the real target in this.

OK, we all admit that for the last ten years maybe the movies are all crap except for a few ones. Hollywood was creating magic till the end of 90s. Nowadays what we see are just  no more good dialogues no more good acting no more a real good story but lots of visual effects, explosions, giant alien machines and long hours of chasing cars. But was it us who demanded this? It was Hollywood who started this. They made all these lousy movies and we watched them. Some of us loved it, but not all of us were crazy about this low quality but expensive productions.

So why in Birdman the producers criticized us mostly rather than the people in industry? I don't know and I don't care since they made such a boring movie. I just realize that I was one of these people whose eyes were always on the little screen of their mobile phones, not the real life that surround around them. And ironically we judge people, make assumptions and have always right to say about the events and we are never there and we don't even know these people. What is this ? A new way of hating life ? To live in such an artificial environment should be fun - remember The Sims. But instead our social media networking looks like Call of Duty arena!

A real life experience. I saw this in a narrow street in Berlin and fortunately I was with a friend who speaks German. It makes only sense what Mr. Adamski says here if you're literally there in that street.

I think I consumed social media a lot and became an addict. When I said "we" I mean "I" actually. See, that little screen on mobile makes you deny yourself quickly as well, haha.

Anyway, to sum up. Birdman is a boring movie however it's worth seeing it. Facebook and Twitter are not your priority but nice to have them - just watch out yourself!
