We watched this last night and it was pretty good, not great but if you are into this sort of thing, a good watch. Shows the greed people have for money. Also makes me wonder why modern stuff like this is destroyed yet cave drawings are saved as valuable or fenced off and charged admission to see. It's an interesting documentary for sure.

Birdy
(1984)
two friends grow up together, one has passion for birds
29 January 2007
This is a great story for anyone who loves birds. It's also a blistering critique of war and the damage it does to the soldiers. It's as relevant in 2007 as it was when it was made.
I found the bird scenes inspiring with the bonding between the boy and his birds. The teenage love scenes also brought back some memories for me, a child of the 60's. It's a great male bonding movie.
Nicholas Cage brings his usual intensity to the role of friend to his childhood friend in need with dignity and passion.
The music is also good and the photography as seen from the eyes of a bird is an added treat. The period scenes of the old neighborhoods were very well done. There was a lot of suspense but not the kind of gratuitous violence without purpose that is seen in so many modern movies.
