While Hollywood is on it's death spiral by focusing on political and feminist nonsense, the rest of the world is pumping out hit after hit. Argentina with When Evil Lurks, Japan with Godzilla Minus 1, and now France with this marvelous film. A film about a father and son who must endure hardships in order to keep their family whole, the type of movie you wouldn't see Hollywood making anymore.
There is so much to take in about this lovely film, from the beautiful directorial work to the wonderful cinematography, but it's the cast that really shines in this movie. Both the father and son were cast perfectly, and even the supporting characters, like the Birdman, really made you care and sympathize with what was transpiring in the film. Interestingly, watching this movie, we followed along with three separate stories; the father looking for his wife, the son whose life has been altered in more ways than one, and the birdman, who simply wants to make his namesake proud. It's the story of three separate men, but it's also the story of manhood, and how it endures even when faced with the harshest trial and tribulations.
I watched this movie in awe, because it's the first time in a long time that I've watched a movie made for people like me. I was just so moved by the struggles of each of the men in this film, and how they each dealt with their hardships and all came out stronger in the end. It's a true testament to the enduring nature of the entire male gender, and really makes a man proud to have XY chromosomes coursing through his body.
One of the best, most original films I've seen in years. Everything from the acting to the CGI worked in harmony to create something that will surely leave a lasting impression. I'd be hard pressed to find a real film buff that would dislike this movie in any way. Yes, it's that well done.
