That is the time when we reflect and ask ourselves these absurd questions.Īnother scene in the movie that presents the notion of absurdity associated with our life can be found in the conversation between Riggan and his daughter Sam about the toilet paper. In fact, we end up in the same situation countless of times in our lives, when we have no clue of what we are doing and we end up in a miserable situation. He then, questions himself or maybe the audience, “How did I end up here?” This is a completely absurd question a person can ask to himself which makes no sense for a sane man. The viewers are presented a sense as if Riggan has some super powers as he is floating in air while he is meditating. The movie begins with a scene in which Riggan is meditating in his room. He has completely abandoned playing the franchise movie “Birdman” and now is struggling to set his career as a director and actor of the play based on the short stories by Raymond Carver, “What we talk about when we talk about love?” Riggan Thomson, the protagonist of the movie Birdman, is a faded and washed-away Hollywood actor who is best known for playing the superhero “Birdman”, has now shifted from on-screen movies to the theatrical plays. What’s common between the movie “Birdman” and Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”? Both these present the ideas on the absurdity of our lives.
