This comment contains a spoiler about the movie's ending (not exactly how it ends, but some people may consider it a spoiler.)
Birdy is a fine movie about friendship and about not fitting in. It is also a movie about what war can do to people: Nicolas Cage's character Al finally sees no solution for himself but to go crazy just like his friend. However, that is not how this movie ends, and I must say that it is refreshing to see a movie like this with such a hopeful ending.
Nicolas Cage is great in this movie, as is Matthew Modine. The script is very well-written with engaging characters and I also think that the cinematography is great.
(7/10)
