Birdy (1984)
Im Vietnamkrieg verwundet, wird Al Columbato in ein Militärhospital geschickt, um die rätselhafte psychische Krankheit seines Jugendfreundes Birdy aufzuklären. Der hockt auf dem Boden, sehnt sich wie ein Vogel im Käfig, durchs vergitterte Fenster zu fliegen. In Rückblenden wird die gemeinsame Vorgeschichte erzählt: Kindheit in trister Vorstadt, Birdys Vogelleidenschaft, Rückzug in die Fantasie, autistische Vogelmensch-Existenz. Als sie die Hintergründe ihrer Traumata durchschauen, wagen sie einen Ausbruchsversuch.
