Birdman: Ending Explained | Video Essay

What happened at the end of Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu's 2014 Oscar-winning movie? Support ScreenPrism on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=7792695

Is Michael Keaton's Riggan really flying, or has he jumped to his death? What did it all mean?

Correction: The current version of the video mislabels the year of Christopher Nolan's Princeton address. The correct year should be 2015, not 2005.
