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 meaning. They are just life, pure life. And humans have given them infinite imagination and meaning that is beneficial to us, such as the pair of love birds.
The first attack was extremely minor. The heroine took the pair of "love" birds in the cage, and was attacked by seagulls on the way back after taking the boat to the other side. This is probably the first tiny warning from birds to humans.
The large-scale attacks that occurred later, in my opinion, were the great resistance of the bird group to humans.
When the mother of the little children couldn't bear the cruel scene of birds attacking people, she said to the heroine, "Everything is because of you. After you came, these things happened, who are you, what are you?".
In fact, because the heroine brought love birds, and the birds attacked humans because they hated the cage, and at a deeper level, because they hated the name "love birds". No one wants to be given any meaning that is not their own, and the same is true of birds, they have nothing to do with human love.
At the end of the film, surrounded by flocks of birds, they escape before the next attack is about to begin. The little girl insisted on taking away the lovebirds "they are not wrong, they didn't attack us". This is undoubtedly a kind of irony, or even more disturbing.
So they drove out of the house with the "lovebirds".
Therefore, human beings have never awakened. They will always deal with the attacks of flocks of birds without reflecting on the reasons.
They left the house with "love birds" and with disrespect for the birds, and the flock of birds' attacks will never stop. They were still poking around in front of the house.
