Birdman of Alcatraz - 10/10
If anyone is wondering why I saw this film for a 3rd time in the last 3 weeks, it's because I woke up this morning at 5 (6am) and didn't wanna watch something new. I went and got 6 movies from your recommendations from the "best films on loneliness" and thought if I did something other than laying there, I might get tired. Even if I got sleep, I'd seen this movie already. This time though there were subtitles, and there were a few homophones or words I didn't catch the first few times. I watched the entire film, and then took a 2 hour nap.
I'll keep the review short, since I've done it before. I'd love to do commentary on this with anyone willing. Such a great film, every line is so strong, encompasses so much. Based on Alcatraz' most famous prisoner, Robert Stroud. I was in SF last year, but the idea of going to an old prison is not my cup of tea, especially when the tours are at 6am. I guess they let you go into the "hole" - I might reconsider, as I plan on making a yearly pilgrimage.
