Have you thought about the lessons about self-image and finding meaning in life in the movie Birdman? Birdman is a thought provoking film that leaves a lot open for interpretation. Bloggers and writers have asked many questions about whether the main character, Riggan Thomson, played by Michael Keaton, has super powers or what really happens at the end of the movie. Although these are interesting questions, what I found most compelling about Birdman is not what has happened or what is real, but what the film says about the psyche of a wounded actor and the drive that many of us have to find meaning in life and our self-image.
