According to the later development of the story, the first time the seagulls attacked Daniels on the boat is the motivating event of the story, after which the crows hit Annie's door, and the seagulls attacked the children at Casey's birthday party until the seagulls and crows killed Dan in the ranch. (pecking eyes), the situation has risen to the level of "disaster".
Dan's death was a midpoint, and Mitch's mother, worried that her daughter Casey was also attacked, asked Daniels to go to school to make sure Casey was safe. When Daniels arrived at the school, he found the crows "in full force" outside the school, and fled the classroom with the students, while the crows attacked the children on the road. The matter has attracted the attention of the residents of the town, but some people still think that it is Daniels and others who are alarmist.
Until the bird attacked the human again, and this time the attack was a young man who was about to refuel, the oil leaked all over the place, an unwitting person lit a cigarette and detonated the gasoline, and the fire and the bird attacked the town residents at the same time. In the panic, everyone can only run for their lives, Annie protects Casey, and Mitch protects Daniels. When Mitch and Daniels arrive at Annie's door, they find a tragic scene where Annie is "killed" by a bird.
Birds attacking humans is no longer an accidental event, but a periodic inevitable event. Mitch, Daniels, Casey, and Mitch's mother hid in the room. Mitch nailed the windows with wooden boards and prepared to stay at home.
In the evening, the sound of the flapping of the wings was like the creaking of the gates of hell opening, making the four of them tremble. Daniels inadvertently glanced at the two lovebirds that had been sent, but it was extremely quiet at the moment (the same birds, why is there such a big difference?).
The birds attacked fiercely, more violently than ever, and no matter how thick the planks were, they could not stop the endless attacks of the birds. When the bird attack stopped, Mitch walked out of the room and found that the outside world had become the world of birds, and there was no human beings, only birds. Did people live in the world of birds, or did birds invade the world of people? Taking advantage of the short rest after the bird attack cycle, Mitch sneaked away in the car with the injured Daniels and his mother and sister.
A great disaster movie ends.
It's a haunting disaster film that, rather than having an elaborate plot, assumes a state of affairs for the audience to savor. Is the world we see, the world in which we live, and the world we think really like this? Birds are our playthings, imprisoning them, admiring their feathers and calls? But—I mean, suppose, when the birds attacked the humans, the humans had nothing to defend against, and the humans were imprisoned in the room, in a mess. The world is the symbiosis of all things, not the sole power of human beings.
And I really appreciate the lack of explanation of bird behavior at the beginning and end of the film, not all events need explanation. Interpretation is an act with no end and beginning, one explanation is used to explain another, and the explained explanation needs another explanation to explain it. Not explaining is a creative attitude and a creative method. You can learn from it later.
