Birdman Scene 1 Summary

  • After the staccato beat of the opening, we cut to a silent, serene shot of Riggan floating in his office. Like, literally levitating. In nothing but his undies.
  • He has some depressing things to say about "this place" whatever and wherever it may be.
  • He talks to Sam about getting him flowers. She's not having a good time.
  • He's called down to the set of a play; apparently he's a director.
