Friend)<\/p><p>Ready for a weird, what is happening right now, movie? Well, this movie isn\u2019t it. It is pretty straight forward in the plot and storyline. So, we have Birdy (Matthew Modine) who is in a mental hospital thinking he is a bird. The hospital is not sure how to help him further as he is not responding to typical treatments, so they call in his best friend Al.<\/p><p>With Al, we reminisce of their time hanging out collecting pigeons in weird and scary places and putting them in a birdhouse of sorts they have built. We get some insight into Birdy\u2019s weird obsession with birds as he creates bird costumes out of feathers from the birds he catches. We find out that they both went to Vietnam and the trauma is what has caused Birdy to regress into this \u201cI\u2019m a bird\u201d behavior.<\/p><p>Al tries to remind Birdy of the times they hung out and his last resort is to bring Birdy a bunch of baseballs they never thought they would ever see again. He gets upset and breaks down begging Birdy to just give him a reaction. We get flashbacks throughout the movie, but this part, we get a flashback of what happened after prom. Birdy claims to have flown and Al\u2019s response is like a high-pitched adorable, \u201cYou flew?\u201d and it is instantly my favorite way to question anyone at any time. We also see how Greta, Birdy\u2019s bird whom he is in love with (you read that right), flies head on into his window and dies right when Al leaves for Vietnam.<\/p><p>The Vietnam flashbacks are particularly gory and will rattle your senses with all the noise and screams, as it should; it is war. We see an injured Birdy nearly get bombed and this is his breaking point; cue screams while a giant flock of birds flies overhead. And we\u2019re back to the hospital. Birdy is crying and Al comforts him. This is good news for our boys as Birdy\u2019s behavior is human for the first time. Al breaks down about the lacerations to his face that he suffered from a shell blowing up in his face. He is angry and scared that his face will be unrecognizable. Birdy is finally Birdy saying, \u201cyou\u2019re so full of shit.\u201d Birdy does not talk when he needs to and a fight breaks out between Al and the orderlies who are trying to remove Al. He refuses to leave Birdy and they make a break for it. They go to the roof and Birdy jumps from one level to the next level. Al is mortified as he is unaware that there is a lower level. He runs over to the edge and Birdy says, \u201cWhat?\u2019\u201d Roll credits to La Bamba.<\/p><p>Overall, this movie is a tale of buddies. They rely on each other at several time throughout the movie and we see that it will continue. If you need a feel good movie, this is a good one with which to kill time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c05cb0a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5c05cb0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f5aa49e elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f5aa49e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ee3eb26\" data-id=\"6ee3eb26\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b767d59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b767d59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I chose Farfetch\u2019d for this one.
