nausicaa83Yesterday I spent the day with Tati. The weather was wonderful, warm spring weather, and we went to the cinema and had ice cream. This is definitely my favourite time of the year. Summer here is usually hot and humid, but spring is absolutely perfect. ^^
In the evening I watched Birdman on my laptop, really late to the party. I did like the first half of it, and the actors were all really good, but I have to say by the end I thought it was very disappointing. There was no growth in the characters, one way or the other, the story went nowhere, and even if on paper filming it all as a tracking shot, or at least making it look like one by cleverly hiding the cuts, works, after a while it was too obvious: the actors were obviously sidestepping the camera, pirouetting like ballerinas, and it was very distracting.
I think what ruined it for me was the ending though: it tried too hard to be artsy, that it forgot to say something, anything at all. What a shame, because it looked like the kind of movie I usually would love. Oh well.
In unrelated news, they released the first trailer for the second season of True Detective, and it's one wonderful minute of Fiona Apple wistfully singing what I hope is the new opening song, and a collection of scenes that tell us nothing but that it looks amazing. June can't come soon enough. *_____*
