Hitchcock horror

After all, it is the work of a master of suspense. There are several places in the film that frighten me nervously, nervously and nervously. If you like fog, you will love flocks of birds. The two movies are really similar, but not the same. The birds are better in the rendering of the bleak scene and atmosphere; and the mist is better in the soundtrack (the soundtrack is one of the biggest highlights of the mist), the tension of the actors' performance and the description of the conflicting characters. The ending may seem abrupt, but after careful consideration, I feel that Xi Fat has successfully shifted the focus of the film: perhaps the ending of the characters is not his main object of discussion, but his intention is to highlight the theme that humans are not opponents of nature. For example, when an arrogant customer made a statement about the eradication of birds, the older ornithologist disagreed and gave a rough account of the history and number of birds on the earth, This further highlights the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings in front of nature. Compared with the birds that existed in ancient times, what do humans count? After all, there are hundreds of billions of birds alone.

There is one part of the film that I think is a foreshadowing, and that is the heroine's two love birds, and Xi Pang also gave them close-up close-ups several times. In addition, the excited mother in the restaurant also asked the hostess, "Why did you come to disaster?" In fact, the love birds were brought by the hostess. Does this arrangement imply that the two birds are the source of the disaster? Although it is unknown, it is good to keep some imagination. I give five stars and highly recommend.

    Both the commercial spectacle and the strong external force of the play, the setting of birds, and the description of the deformed mother-child relationship are like the enlargement and exploration of the iconic elements in his last two works "North by Northwest" and "Psycho". The story seems simple and crude, but many intriguing references can be found from the religious/political level and the most basic character arrangement. The atmosphere construction of "Escape from the Dead" and the frog rain of "Magnolia" are indispensable to the film.

    Dare to make this kind of illusion and mislead the audience to show that it is not explained in the end, even Hitchcock can only try it after Psycho-when his personal reputation is the highest, the whole dazzling technique encyclopedia; finally; Twenty minutes into the sky, every frame is impeccable with various means and layers of advancement; at the end, the birds occupy the town and the humans escape by car are also a clever echo with the opening. Thinking about it, it’s not "no explanation." ".
