The Birdcage Movie Summary

Albert (Nathan Lane), the mincing drag queen at the center of The Birdcage, begs the indulgence of everyone who lays eyes on him. A flamboyantly effeminate homosexual who headlines at the South Beach, Miami, nightclub owned by his longtime lover, Armand (Robin Williams), Albert lives for the moments when he goes on stage. As soon as his act is over, though, he turns into a big pile of jelly: needy, whining, hysterical — the diva as cowardly lion.

Swanning about in his layered silk outfits (everything he wears looks like some fancy form of pajamas), flaunting his pinky rings, his fussily coiffed bangs, and his theatrical woe-is-me pouts, Albert the powder puff couldn't be less intimidating. Yet in his ridiculous way, he forces you to accept him on his own Nellie terms. He does it with Armand, who spends most of his waking hours smoothing Albert's feathers. He does it with prudes and homophobes — anyone easily shocked by the sight of a middle-aged man who carries himself like a cross between Elton John and a Miami Beach yenta. He does it, as well, with those in the movie audience who'd be tempted to write him off as a gay Stepin Fetchit. Albert may be no one's idea of a liberated role model, but his glory as a character is that he refuses to be anyone's symbol. He is simply — and hilariously — himself.
