Birdy, movie by Alan Parker

Al came back from the Vietnamese war. His face was stolen by a bomb, and his identity damaged. Now he tries to free his Birdy of a friend from his cage... and flee himself from his.

When your dream is crushed by reality as a bird crashes on a window, when you believed you can fly strong enough, will you give it a try?

Nice ending twist. A bit too "american cliché let's be free hurray" for my taste, but still nice. And guess what? The main part is played by Nicolas Cage...

By the way, I discovered this movie thanks to Tagath (again) and this beautiful drawing she made of her character Neige, using "Birdy"'s DVD Jacket as a reference. The pic's quality is no good, but one has to forgive her: her scanner was dead...
