Here is what people are saying about the Birdy
 "Great movie" | 2009-05-08 |
| - Reviewed By User: A2ACDG7DDK4N6O |
| It is a great movie, just a little slow at the beginning. The book of course is a lot better thought. |

 "For the Birds" | 2009-03-21 |
| - Reviewed By keehn9 |
| I wasn't sure what to expect when I got a copy of "Birdy". After watching it, I'm not sure what I got. This movie operates on some strange premises; that a teenage boy would like to be a bird, that an All-American type teenager would befriend him and follow along with all this craziness, and that the Army would take this flake into the service. Some movies require "the willing suspension of disbelief" in order to enjoy them. However, "Birdy" pretends to be a serious film about friendship and devotion which leaves little room for inanity (while giving plenty of room for insanity). I note a lot of high praise bourne out of what I assume to be an emotional appeal. I'm often taken in with such films but this one just went down too many wrong way streets to keep me involved. The three stars I do give "Birdy" are for various scenes that did work well but there weren't many. |

 "The End of the Innocence" | 2008-12-10 |
| - Reviewed By richardcoreno |
This powerful 1984 film is directed by Alan Parker and explores the shadows of the soul and the aftermath of war.
Based on a novel of the same name by author William Wharton, the plot focuses on boyhood friends Birdy (Matthew Modine) and Al Columbato (Nicolas Cage) who serve in Vietnam. The war experience ultimately rips to shreds what was already a fragile psyche of Birdy - whose fixation with birds now has him believing that he is a bird - and he is sent to a mental hospital for treatment. Columbato - who was also injured in the war - goes beyond the call of duty to help his friend find his way "home."
The use of numerous flashback scenes of their life together as teenagers during the 1960s makes for a dynamic reminder of the potential of youth and the end of the innocence. The film was awarded the Grand Prize of the Jury at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
The movie depicts the perilous path in life and the minefield of trying to bring back into focus the signposts from a lost psychological stability. |

| "Birds make me wanna get naked" | 2008-06-18 |
| - Reviewed By michaellarocca |
| And now for something completely different.br /br /This is an intensely dramatic film about coming of age and Vietnam, and it never fails to take itself 100% seriously. But a few scenes, well, they're etched into my brain forever like the scars on Nicholas "delusions of adequacy" Cage's face.br /br /I'm certainly not calling it a bad movie. Three stars, and I watched it all the way through. But damn, if I hadn't seen the "1984" part, I'd have called it a career killer for a naked man in a bird cage. Dude dreamed about birds, woke up naked, and towelled himself off below the waist. That's weird.br /br /Put another way, this movie definitely works on the level it's meant to, as a dramatic and moving story. But I could also picture the yahoos at The Agony Booth having a field day with the screen shots and the captions, which I was doing at the same time as I was watching it dramatically. |

| "Another Reason Nicolas Cage Is Brilliant" | 2008-03-31 |
| - Reviewed By User: A374Q47776RZI7 |
| I purchased this movie to add to my growing collection of Nicolas Cage films. He is a brilliant actor and this movie shows that. For the majority of the time during the film, Nicolas' face was covered with gauze because his character sustained injuries during the Vietnam war. I was impressed with the fact that even though his face was covered, he could still project his emotions through his eyes, speech and body language. He is so good, he could pull any movie off wearing a sack over his head! 'Birdy' is also a wonderful story. I especially love the ending! When I was researching this movie, I read that Nicolas Cage actually had a tooth pulled on film, with no anesthetic, because he needed some dental work done anyway (boy, did he ever!). I was disappointed to see that did not make it into the movie but you can see the gap in his mouth where the tooth had been. Which gives his character even more authenticity since he had a facial injury, it would make sense to lose a tooth or two! |
