The statement is promotional in nature, focusing on the screening of the film 'Birdy' by Alan Parker at the Paris Theater in NYC. It mentions the event dates and highlights the film as part of a '1984 Milestone Movies' series. The tone is enthusiastic and informative, aimed at encouraging attendance at the screening. The inclusion of the image serves to visually promote the film and enhance the appeal of the message. The statement does not engage in substantive public discourse as it primarily serves to advertise an event without addressing broader societal issues or policies.
