The Birds

The plot of the first half of the film is too long, the ending editing is very compact, and the soundtrack is not used in the whole film. In addition to the discussion of the relationship between man and nature, the film establishes a special connection between the protagonist's family and the flock of birds' attacks. The initial attacks mostly occurred when the possessive mother rejected the arrival of the heroine. This symbolism reflects the real problems of such families, and the lovebirds in cages are also a form of surveillance oppression and a cry for freedom. This is my second Hitchcock. Compared with "Psycho", it has more disaster elements, less horror and suspense, and a medium look and feel.

The Birds short comments

    This one completely bowed down to Hitchcock. Only birds create an apocalyptic atmosphere, and the level of horror is close to horror at the end. The grand vision of driving to the bay and the birds pecking on the wood door all remind people of "The Shining" (opening and cutting the door). The opening dialogue (Miss Daniels invites you to return to the cage), the heroine's dress (canary's head + love bird coat) and the relationship between the two (love birds) all imply the ending. Spectator (the last drive away is like being temporarily released from a cage for a walk). The Rome incident and the phrase "all because of you" of the woman in the hotel also extended another image: birds are like rumors and violently hurt people (the scale upgrade model from single bird to flock of birds is especially suitable).

    The protagonist has an Oedipus complex and is very likely to commit adultery with his mother and kill his father. The bird's attack target is the heroine and the mother's attack target.

The Birds quotes

  • Lydia Brenner: I'm not like this, you know. Not usually. I don't fuss and fret over my children.

  • Lydia Brenner: When Frank died... You see he understood the children, he really understood them. He had the knack of entering into their world, of becoming a part of them. That's a very rare talent.

    Melanie Daniels: Yes.

    Lydia Brenner: Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish I could be that way.
