Birdy Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Alan Parker
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Director Alan_Parker tackles this adapation of William Wharton's novel, which retains much of the source material's texture and complexity. Matthew_Modine is Birdy, who comes back from Vietnam mentally shattered and deludes himself into thinking that he is a bird, an animal that has obsessed him since childhood. Birdy is confined to a military hospital, where he spends his time sitting naked in his room, not acknowleding anyone, moving and acting like a parakeet. His best friend Al (Nicolas_Cage), also a wounded Vietnam vet, visits Birdy every day, determined to bring him back to reality. Birdy is occasionally disjointed but enriched by strong performances from Modine and Cage and a number of hard-to-forget moments. Don Kaye, Rovi
