flock of birds

It's a disaster movie. While watching the movie with a heart hanging on it, I carefully figured out the intention.

The lovebirds that run through the whole film, although they seem to have few appearances and have little effect, are a dark line, implying the love of the male and female protagonists. From the first time the male and female protagonists met, the lovebirds were also mentioned, or it was because of the lovebirds that the two of them met. relation.

Although I don't know why the big birds attacked humans from beginning to end, I think the big birds' repeated attacks imply that the outside world is testing the love of the male and female protagonists. Just as the woman in the hotel said: "You brought them all, and they start like this after you come." It doesn't sound logical, but I think it's alluding to the fact that after the heroine arrives, establish a relationship with the hero, the hero Conflicts and collisions alluded to by mum's uneasy fear of being abandoned.

In the end, the male protagonist took his family out of the wooden house carefully. Before leaving, his sister asked if he could take the lovebirds with him. After all, they didn't hurt anyone. After the whole family got into the car safely, the female protagonist clenched the hand of the male protagonist's mother. The mother felt that she was needed and seemed to be relieved. She also responded to the female protagonist and cuddled with her. At the end of the film, the family left this dangerous and uneasy place with their lovebirds and drove to the place where the sun was gradually rising.

In fact, from the beginning to the end of the film, the heroine, the hero and the mother of the hero have changed. Let's talk about the heroine first, the rich lady doesn't care about anything, she is frivolous and casual everywhere. At first, I think curiosity and conquest take the lead in chasing the male protagonist. I am self-centered. In the face of the overly frightened male protagonist's mother, I also don't like it. Not very comforting. Later, when he is in danger, he will go to protect others, and when he hears a movement upstairs, he goes to check it gently (killing him), and he is besieged by a flock of birds until he faints. Then there is the male protagonist. This must be reflected from Mr. Annie. Mrs. Annie, the ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist, was slowly dismantled four years ago because the male protagonist's mother just lost her husband and was afraid that she would be abandoned. They, but I think the male protagonist's inaction must be the main reason, because it can be seen from the fact that Annie follows the male protagonist to settle in this town, and it can be seen that Annie has always loved the male protagonist, so it is only one of them who will directly break up the couple. He started to run away. Obviously, this party should be the male lead. He may be worried that his mother has been suffering from unease and pain. But this time, the male protagonist stood up, and the mother emphasized to the male protagonist that the girl was "misbehaving" behind the back of the female protagonist, but the male protagonist refuted her. In the later stage, when the birds attacked on a large scale, the main defense and action power came from the male protagonist. Repairing the house implied maintaining the relationship with the female protagonist. When the birds started to attack, it was also him who kept taking emergency measures. He is no longer afraid of outside pressure. (He was busy with his work, and it seemed to me that he had few words, but he was very reliable.) Finally, it was the mother of the male protagonist, as I mentioned earlier. From the very beginning, because of the loss of her husband, she has been immersed in the sadness of missing her husband. , Fear of loneliness, fear of being abandoned by children when you are old, and finally feeling needed by others, no longer rejecting the heroine, hey, just like the heroine said "one more daughter".

But speaking, there are too many "group performances", and how does this control the birds! Do you still have to train to "wow-" bite? Pay a lot of fish. ?

And I found Hitchcock! Right in front of the pet shop at the beginning of the video! With two puppies on a leash?
