How Did They Make BIRDMAN Look Like One Seamless Shot?

Welcome to hell, I'll be your guide.

Welcome to the trenches!

The wolves are here to eat

Saw this last night. Sooooooo gooooooood!

I really want to see this movie

Woah wait, WHAT?! So the film is made as if it's just one shot?! That's [frick]ING AWESOME! Definitely will watch this just for that.

Fv@k this director and his movie. :)

[frick] this guy and his elitist attitude. Won't be getting a penny from me.

Beautiful movie :)

My favorite this year :)

This was the best film I've seen in a long time. All year for sure. If you're sitting there boycotting it because for some reason you believe it's trying to end superhero films you're a jackass. Grow up, you're missing out

@meimnioch: Welcome.

NEVER accept a drink from @Gusto.

Watch your wallet around @blackandyellow.

Watch your girlfriend around @Cipher.

Watch your refrigerator around @SuperCat.

Watch your grandmother around @batz11.

And watch your pleasure at anything Marvel Studios around @MantiniumBorn.

And watch completely normal adults totally melt down and admit to fapping over film trailers and film spoilers.

And then there's me.

Just watch from a distance, those who stand too close get bad reps and second-hand chronic halitosis.

Have fun!

Come on, I treat the GILFs very well...lmao...Gusto's lady was a conquer I'll never forget!

I saw the film for several reasons. The premise sounded fun. I love the cast. And the idea it would look like one continuous shot was interesting. The only other films I can remember that have done that are Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, a great film, done in 10 minute reels and made to look very much like one continuous shot. And a few years ago there was a Russian movie called Russian Ark that WAS one single 96 minute unedited shot.

Back to Birdman. I was disappointed on several levels. The single shot concept wasn't even close to being done well. The beginning of the film clearly is not a single shot and doesn't even try to be. So that was a small letdown. But overall the camera work was very interesting.

The film itself I thought was not good. I won't post any spoilers, don't want to ruin it for anyone.

The performances were very good, from Keaton to Watts to Norton and even Galifianakis. Emma Stone was excellent. But I thought the writing was the biggest let down, it was just missing something.

@blackandyellow: "I concur with everything bropous just said."

I'm screenshotting that and will use it over and over again in VERY uncomfortable situations! LOLZ!
