  BIRDMAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Birdman (2014), directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, follows Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor known for his role as the superhero "Birdman." Struggling with his past fame, Riggan attempts to reinvent himself by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway play. The film explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the pressures of fame, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Shot in long takes to create the illusion of a single continuous scene, Birdman delves into the complexities of artistic expression, personal redemption, and the challenges of escaping the shadows of past successes. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The movie was rehearsed and shot in sequence, so the editing process only took two weeks." 
    
  "Only sixteen visible cuts can be found in the entire film." 
    
  "During filming, Edward Norton and Michael Keaton kept track of the actors' flubs, with Emma Stone making the most errors and Zach Galifianakis the fewest." 
    
  "Much of the film was shot inside Broadway's St. James Theatre, where the actors had to deliver up to fifteen pages of dialogue in one take while hitting precisely choreographed marks." 
    
  "Edward Norton's character parodies his own reputation for being difficult to work with, similar to the way Michael Keaton's Birdman mirrors his earlier role as Batman."
