10 Unanswered Movie Questions That Kept You Up All Night

1. Did Riggan Kill Himself? - Birdman (2014)

At its core, Birdman tells the tale of a man€™s struggle to find internal as well as external love and acceptance, as the film€™s central character, Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton), channels his regrets and frustrations into a stage adaptation of the Raymond Carver short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. When Riggan uses a real gun for the final scene of his play and shoots his nose off on stage, it turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to him. In the hospital, Riggan learns that the play has gotten rave reviews and he seems (relatively) happy about it all. After a brief visit with his daughter, Sam (Emma Stone), Riggan sees birds flying outside and climbs onto the window ledge. When Sam returns, he is gone; she runs to window and looks down worriedly, then looks up at the sky and smiles. So, what exactly happened? Is he dead? Is he alive? Can Birdman really fly? Does he really have superpowers? If he did jump to his death, why is his daughter smiling about it? Many theories and explanations have been thrown around but this will surely go down in the cinematic history books as one of the most confusing/frustrating movie endings of all time.
