Bird is a 1988 American biographical musical drama film about jazz saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker, directed and produced by Clint Eastwood and written by Joel Oliansky. The film stars Forest Whitaker as Parker, and Diane Venora as his wife Chan Parker. It is constructed as a montage of scenes from Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his early death at the age of 34. The film moves back and forth through Parker's history, blending moments to find some truth to his life. Much of the film revolves around his only grounding relationships with Chan, Bebop pioneer trumpet player and band leader Dizzy Gillespie (Samuel E. Wright), and his influence (both musically and into the world of heroin addiction) on trumpet player Red Rodney (Michael Zelniker).

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Bird on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
