The Birdcage

This was so timely from the '80s. It shows how gay people expressed themselves and the words they used back then. And how they weren't insults. Nowadays that wouldn't pass.

The Birdcage, directed by Mike Nichols, is an absolute gem of a film bursting with laughter, heart, and a powerful message of acceptance. With an exceptional cast and a brilliantly written screenplay, this movie effortlessly brings together comedy and social commentary to deliver an entertaining and deeply meaningful experience.One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its stellar ensemble cast, led by the incomparable Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Williams shines as Armand Goldman, the owner of a popular drag nightclub in South Beach, with his impeccable comedic timing and unmatched ability to effortlessly switch between moments of hilarity and tenderness. Nathan Lane, in a career-defining performance, portrays Albert, Armand's partner and the club's star drag queen. Lane's portrayal of Albert is simply magnificent, delivering uproarious moments while simultaneously capturing a raw vulnerability that beautifully tugs at the heartstrings.Their chemistry is palpable, and their relationship serves as the core of the film's heartwarming message. The love between Armand and Albert is portrayed with such authenticity and warmth that it transcends gender stereotypes and becomes a universal celebration of love in all its forms. Their journey is a testament to the power of love, acceptance, and the importance of being true to oneself.Beyond the exceptional performances, the film excels in navigating complex social issues with grace and humor. By exploring the clash between different worlds and societal expectations, The Birdcage raises important questions about the ever-relevant topic of acceptance and tolerance. The script, written by Elaine May, masterfully weaves together comedy and thought-provoking insights, allowing for both laughter and reflection.The film's pacing is seamless, keeping audiences hooked from start to finish. The comedic moments are brilliantly timed, delivering uproarious laughter that often spills over to tears of joy. The outrageous situations and misunderstandings that arise when Armand and Albert's son, played brilliantly by Dan Futterman, announces his engagement to the daughter of a conservative politician are a constant source of amusement. The result is an outrageously funny farce that leaves audiences grinning from ear to ear.Additionally, The Birdcage boasts mesmerizing production design, capturing the vibrant and colorful world of South Beach in stunning detail. The flamboyant costumes, the energetic performances, and the pulsating nightlife all contribute to an immersive experience that envelops viewers from the very beginning.In its entirety, The Birdcage stands as a timeless comedic masterpiece that speaks to the importance of love, acceptance, and the power of laughter in breaking down barriers. Through its unforgettable performances, exceptional screenplay, and its celebration of diversity, the film continues to captivate and inspire audiences, reminding us all to embrace each other's individuality and spread love, tolerance, and understanding.In a time when acceptance remains a pressing issue, The Birdcage serves as a reminder that the bonds of love and laughter can overcome even the most seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Robin Williams wonderful actor

Just as shown and in perfect condition. Given as a gift so don't know if it plays okay. Have not heard of any problems with it.

One of my all time favorite films. Everyone brings their A-Game, it's story is still relatable, and just genuinely funny.

This comedy with Nathan Lane is hysterical from beginning to finish. Most comedy movies die in seconds half. Not this one. Great!!!

Great movie- People should pay attention and see the great examples of acceptance and understanding.❤️

Opened the movie and it was super dirty. I got scared for a second but it ended up working. So can’t complain too much.

Excelente imagen sonido, audio.Si incluye Subtítulos en español.

Every scene brings joy, every character is fully formed and as silly as it sometimes can be, there is a plot.

Es una película muy graciosa.Hace tiempo que la había visto en el cine,y me quedo un gran recuerdo de ella.Tenía ganas de tenerla y cuando vi que Amazon la vendía,no dude en comprarla.La recomiendo mucho,de verdad.Muchas gracias.
