      Hitchcock's Hitchcock

      Regarding "The Birds",
      it is possible to express an uneasy feeling of existence. Perhaps, it is telling about the various conflicts in the world, the conflict between human beings and nature, the conflict between human beings and animals, the conflict between human beings and human beings, the conflicts in human beings themselves, as well as the outbreak of such conflicts and their thrilling results , and the fear of the unknowable.

      no ending ending

      The controversy surrounding "The Birds," including the Oedipus plot, including the reasons for the birds' attack on humans, which is never explained in the film, includes the film's unfinished ending.

      It seems to me that the reasons for the flock of birds attacking humans are obvious, and the ending is clearly conceivable.

      In fact, the main thread interspersed throughout the film is love birds.

      Birds are not about any...

      war of birds

      One day, the docile birds began to 'collude' in groups to attack humans. The birds seemed to become murderous for no reason, and became wise without warning. No matter you are a white-haired old man, Lang Lang A tough guy or a schoolboy who is helpless, or a weak woman who is easily frightened is doomed, and no one can escape its sharp long beak and sharp minions. Everything is going on in an orderly way in the dark, well-planned but blind, the fierce hostility displayed by the birds...

      unity is strength

      Fear of crows and seagulls seems to be a common phenomenon around the world. This film gathers two of my most feared evil birds, seagulls and crows. The appearance of the crow is a bit daunting, and it is often involved in funerals, so it is not uncommon to have a notorious reputation. Seagulls are somewhat confusing because of their appearance. White waves, unrestrained feelings, seagulls chasing fishing boats, it looks like a beautiful scene. In fact, seagulls are relatively large and...

      The abandoned bay

      The fifth part, Xi Fat, can be regarded as the one I like a little bit. Because I personally think that the most important thing in his films is the creation of the atmosphere (of course he is really a master), while the story itself and narrative techniques are boring.

      In this part, the misogynist Xi Pang finally wrote a smart, beautiful, independent and capable heroine who is not like a rich girl, but was involved in a deformed mother-son relationship and the malice of the town...

      The first Hitchcock movie I saw, when I was young, was terrified by the scene inside. Judging from the technical level at the time, the effect of the shooting is really quite...

      A visual blockbuster of the 1960s, without the slightest soundtrack, only the manic chirping of birds. Who would have thought that the birds that can be seen everywhere in life are such terrifying creatures, the film did not explain the disaster from beginning to end, the disaster is not over, the disaster has just...

      The part where the bird attacked Melanie in the house was too fake!!! It can be handled a little better, there are actually quite a few similar unreasonable things. The two parrots in the film should have some meaning or lead to some kind of clue, otherwise it would be meaningless for the little girl to mention the parrot repeatedly. In addition, does Xi Fatt have any views on women? All the female characters in the film are all useless, and they are just burdensome + things...

      [Unending Disaster Movie/7.0] The ending is too abrupt...really...every time I watch Xi Fatt's movie...except for the beautiful photography...there is nothing special...and he personally and in the film has no respect for women's subconscious, I've always spit it out... I still have to sigh once again that Xi Fat is seriously overrated... (recommended reason: let everyone see how overrated AH is) Da Mei's grandma is really...

    Evaluation action

    The special effects of "The Birds" are dazzling. The film is different from ordinary disaster films. The director Hitchcock cleverly coordinated romance and murder, in which the hidden eschatology and the discussion of morals add to the weight of the film. This narrative technique Repeatedly imitated later similar films (Sohu Entertainment Review)   .
    "The Flock of Birds" occupies a very special place in Hitchcock's works. If it weren't...

    Movie quotes

    • Lydia Brenner: I miss him. Sometimes, even now, I wake up in the morning and I think, 'I must get Frank's breakfast.' And I get up and - there's a very good reason for getting out of bed until, of course, I remember. I miss talking to him. Cathy's a child, of course, and Mitch, well, Mitch has his own life. I'm glad he stayed here today. I feel safer with him here.

    • Lydia Brenner: Mitch has always done *exactly* what he wanted to do. But, you see, I - I don't want to be left alone. I don't think I could bear to be left alone.

      [starts to cry]

      Lydia Brenner: Oh, forgive me. Forgive me! This business with the birds has me upset. I - I don't know what I'd do if Mitch weren't here.

    • Lydia Brenner: Melanie. Thanks for the tea.
