Emma Stone Birdman 2014
by Francesco Eunchae: Spider-Man
Emma Stone filmed Birdman in 2014 during a break from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She moved from a CGI driven production to a rigorously choreographed film built on extended takes. Even a minor error could collapse an entire 15 minute sequence. The contrast between the two projects highlights how demanding the shift was for her at that time.

You had a career, Dad, before the third comic book movie. Before people started to forget who was inside that bird costume. You were doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is going to be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. Nobody gives a shit but you. And let's face it, Dad, you are not doing this for the sake of art. You are doing this because you want to feel relevant again. Well, guess what? There is an entire world out there where people fight to be relevant every single day. And you act like it doesn't exist. Things are happening in a place that you ignore. A place that, by the way, has already forgotten about you. I mean, who the fuck are you? You hate bloggers. You mock Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important, okay? You're not important. Get used to it! Dad. Thank you.
