The Enneagram in a Movie26 Juli 2022

Employee Picks - Birdman

In this episode, Mario Sikora, TJ Dawe and TJ Ingrassia discuss “Birdman,” starring Michael Keaton. As the film oozes with themes of the Enneagram Type Four, “Striving to Feel Unique,” the three hosts look at the question “What is art?” and “Who is a real artist?” as they examine the lead character played by Keaton. They also consider the Enneagram Types for the other characters in the film and talk about the artfulness of the director, Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

“The movie itself is really all about these Four-ish issues. Now when I think of Fours, I always think of this preferred strategy of striving to feel unique.” - Mario Sikora [17:54]

“Three hadn’t occurred to me watching it, but I had watched it thinking, ‘If he’s a Four, it’s definitely not a perfect portrait of a Four.’ The central to his arc in this movie is wanting to earn the respect and the esteem of other people for him as an artist.” - TJ Dawe [20:24]

“I don’t know how much Michael Keaton actually wrestles with things the way that Riggan Thomson does, but I’m quite sure Keaton was able to access something for this role.” - TJ Ingrassia [30:47]
