    Aside from the cleanness of the shots and maybe a little bit of cleverness in the symbolic metaphors (and Tibby Headley's looks, of course), it's almost a waste of time to watch it these...

    The so-called classics that must be read and gnawed repeatedly. The current epidemic is also a flock of birds, forcing humans into their own reinforced concrete boxes. The flock of birds is a terror that never ends and is everywhere. And this terror accompanies human existence from beginning to end. Terrorist attacks, epidemics, ecological disasters, etc. all look different. Throwing this horror into a psychoanalytic box is too...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Huaxing IMAX giant screen 4:3 full screen effect perfectly sets off the tense atmosphere of the film. It seems that the overwhelming flocks of birds are rushing towards the audience in the cinema, with a strong sense of horror. The shooting method of several scenes of birds attacking children, houses and gas stations is still amazing and terrifying even today for more than half a century. The bird in the opening credits is imprisoned in a cage, and the man in...

    Another classic from Hitchcock, a flock of birds disaster flick,...

    From the playfulness of the bird shop at the beginning to the horror of the gathering of birds at the end, Hitchcock successfully turned the cute things in daily life into horror elements, and the atmosphere creation can be used as a textbook. The heroine's makeup and clothing are a sign of the times, and her bold behavior is more charming, so I can't accept that she finally becomes weak, and I will deduct one point. Maintenance is also very important, Tippi is so beautiful and Jessica is so...

    It is also a classic Hitchcock movie, but I have not had the opportunity to appreciate it until today. The suspenseful atmosphere in the movie and the pictures of birds attacking humans are full of eschatological colors, and the hidden moral discussion also adds to the film's charm. Therefore, after watching the movie, there are no more speculations and conjectures about the ending of the movie. Some are praised for the sharpness of the movie lens and impressed by the excellent picture. The two...

    The first time I even watched it, I panicked. The sound effects of the flock of birds are so well done. I didn't hear the thunder and lightning in Beijing...

    According to Zizek's understanding of the book, the bird in the film is a capitalized phallus stained with the real world's imagination, which is transformed into the pleasure of the maternal superego, and the transformation is that the mother of the child is "deprived" (as Lacan put forward the symbol of the phallus (that is, the son), one of the three structures of deprivation in the Oedipus stage; and the entry of the bird from behind the camera into the frame, which turns the objective...

    Even if I have thought about a thousand times more formalistic and non-Hollywood or non-melodrama other processing methods, it still does not damage the evaluation of the current film, which is probably the so-called...

    This work breaks Hitchcock's many filmmaking models, no murder, no closed structure, no music, no truth. Compared with thriller and suspense, this work is more like a disaster film. Could it be that Xi Pang was also thinking about how people and nature should live in...

    Flock of Birds: The Birds
