Birdy (film)

Birdy is a 1984 American drama film directed by Alan Parker, and stars Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage. It is based on William Wharton's novel of the same name, although the film is set in the Vietnam era and not during World War II.

Synopsis

Two teens, Birdy (Modine) and Al (Cage), become friends at school and serve in Vietnam. Birdy has long been disturbingly fixated with birds and his Vietnam experiences push him over the edge: returning from the war, he is hospitalized for a psychiatric assessment and Al tries to reach him before he'll be separated from Birdy, leaving him alone and lost. As the story develops, flashback scenes show their lives as teens in a working-class neighborhood of Philadelphia in the United States in the 1960s, and their developing friendship and viewpoints.

    Aah..Aah..
    Aah..Aah..
    When the dial tones are buzzing
    My heart starts pumping, hold on, hold on
    When I hear the phone ringing
    Just waiting for your voice to come on, come on
    But when the line is busy
    And my ear gets so hot
    I can't situate but
    But the waiting is not
    You say you put me through
    But you keep me holding on
    For so long, so long
    And I say, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    I'm on hold for you
    (I hear that music playing)
    I keep pushing number one and two
    (still that music playing)
    Operator just put me through
    (I hear that music)
    For an hour or two on hold 4 you
    I'm on hold for you
    (I hear that music playing)
    I keep pushing number one and two
    (still that music playing)
    Operator just put me through
