Birdman (2014) Soundboard

Birdman, also known as "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)", is a groundbreaking film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and released in 2014. This dark comedy-drama took the world by storm, offering a thought-provoking exploration of identity, ego, and the pursuit of artistic success.

The story revolves around Riggan Thomson, played by the incredible Michael Keaton, a washed-up Hollywood actor famous for his portrayal of Birdman, a superhero character from a popular film franchise. Desperate to regain his former glory and shed the Birdman persona, Thomson decides to direct and star in a Broadway play, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." The film primarily takes place in the chaotic and unpredictable backstage world of the theater, where Thomson battles his inner demons and confronts the ghosts of his past.

The cast is filled with brilliant actors who deliver captivating performances, bringing depth and complexity to their characters. Alongside Michael Keaton, the film stars Zach Galifianakis as Thomson's best friend and producer, Edward Norton as a volatile method actor, Emma Stone as Thomson's daughter and assistant, Naomi Watts as an insecure actress, and Andrea Riseborough as Thomson's girlfriend. Each actor delivers an astonishingly rich performance, adding layers of intensity to the film's already intricate narrative.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Birdman is its innovative cinematography. The film was shot to appear as one continuous take, creating a sense of visceral energy and immediacy. This stylistic choice enhances the immersive experience, drawing the audience into Thomson's frenzied world as he battles with his inner demons and wrestles with the fragility of his sanity. Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography brilliantly captures the chaos of the theater, gliding through hallways, dressing rooms, and onto the stage itself, seamlessly blending reality and illusion.

Another standout element of Birdman is its unique and captivating score, composed by Antonio Sánchez. The film incorporates an unconventional soundscape, relying primarily on the rhythmic and hypnotic beats of jazz drums. Sánchez's drum score becomes a character in itself, mirroring Thomson's inner turmoil and driving the film's momentum forward. The music perfectly captures the chaos, anxiety, and desperation that permeate every moment of the film, becoming an essential component of the Birdman experience.

To fully immerse yourself in the Birdman experience, you can play and download the film's compelling sounds here. Syncing yourself with the frenetic rhythm of the drums, you'll find yourself transported into Thomson's tumultuous world, experiencing the highs and lows of his journey.

Birdman is a phenomenal cinematic achievement that challenges conventions and explores the psyche of a man desperately seeking redemption. Through its masterful direction, exceptional performances, and innovative cinematography, it provokes introspection on the nature of celebrity, the need for artistic validation, and the struggle to reconcile with one's past. This film is a true gem, deserving of the critical acclaim it received and the lasting impact it has had on the world of cinema.

So, delve into the extraordinary world of Birdman, and let the pulsating beats of the drums guide you through an unforgettable cinematic experience. Play and download these mesmerizing sounds, and discover a film that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and leaves a lasting impression.

And billions of flies eat shit every day! So what? Does that make it good?
And I just commented on it.
And then I tried to drown myself
And then they were on my chest and all over my legs
And you act like it doesn't exist
And you never will.
And you're directing and starring. That's ambitious.
Are you at all afraid that people will say you're doing this play..
Because I hate you, and everyone you represent.
Because without me, all that's left is you...
Because you can't see this thing if you don't know how to label it.
Birdman can act.
Birdman!
Breathing in, I embrace my anger.
Bullshit. They don't know you, your work.
But your..
Can we not do this, please?
Come here. Come here
Dad?
Do you have any idea where you're going?
Do you really think you'll be ready for opening tomorrow?
Eat me!
Eddie, please, give me the gun.
Eddie, please, give me the gun.
Eddie, please!

I can't speak for your play, but... Let's do a little bit of it.
I don't exist
I don't have it. I should have just been there with the two of you
I don't know if you noticed, but that was 1992!
I got that coconut water you wanted.
I ignore this mental formation. This is a mental formation.
I just sat there. They're crying, I sit there.
I just wanted to be what you wanted. What you wanted
I know who you are.
I know. I really do. I get it
I mean, it was killing this guy.
I never knew if he was going to come out from behind a bush,
I never would have expected it.
I only heard his name mentioned in passing.
I should probably tell you about this before anybody else does.
I think I'm hard
I'll make something up. I'll think of something, riff. Hold on.
I'm going back to teaching.
I'm going to turn in the worst review anybody has ever read
I'm not even here
I'm sorry.
If you weren't afraid, what would you want to do to me?
Intimidating, isn't it?
It means there's a sun bed out there being delivered to in here
It means, my reputation is riding on this, and that's worth a, a....
It was me. I was drowning. I'm just not capable of...
It wasn't Lesley.
It's a dream sequence
It's good. It's great
It's pretty glorious.
Jimmy! Jimmy!
Just do it. Give it to me.

Let me tell you guys something about real love. I'll tell you something.
Listen to me. Let's go back one more time and show them what we're capable of.
Listen, this is my fucking show.
Look, none of this is your fault, okay?
Maybe you are, riggan. Maybe that's what you are... a joke.
No
No, it's just sometimes you don't consider other people's feelings.
No, let's just do some of it.
Not this talky, depressing, philosophical bullshit.
Oh, Jesus. They called me for an interview.
Oh, okay.
Okay, look, look. Listen to me.
Okay, sweetheart, come on.
Okay. I was just...
Okay. No problem
Or a car, and just start shooting.
Or pubic hair, I imagine.
Places for the final scene, riggan.
Play with my balls.
Poor creature
Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige, my friend.
Riggan, look at me.
She's my assistant. Works with me.
Shit!
Smells like balls.
So just give it to me as a fuck you. Lay it on me.
So that's what tonight was about? You wrestling with complex emotion?
So why don't you just give me that same thing again, but cut it down. Try it.
Sorry I'm late. Sound like love....
Sorry, I can't talk. I'm late.
Sure, yeah.
