Before watching a movie, I always have more or less prejudice. After all, when I think of the movies of the 1960s, the first reaction in my mind is: It won't look like a picture. Oh, it really is, the prosperous beauty of the heroine can't save the technical defects, and I just want to see the scenery of the west coast of the United States.
well, let's get back to business.
The story takes place in a bird pet store, and love develops between the hero and heroine who met because of bad tastes. Except for the birds trapped in the cage, it is impossible to see how it has anything to do with the title of the film. The birds, flocks of birds, in the impression they seem to be tame, at least not aggressive. When I saw the seagulls swept across the sky at the beginning, and the darkness was overwhelming, I admired the crowds who ran around with the bird watching group. (Don't pay attention to my inner activities, I am probably a sufferer of intensive phobia, and it is really not suitable for such a film.)
In the first hour of going around, I fell into the idol drama routine of a rich girl's brave pursuit of love. People who became attached to birds faced fancy obstacles from their families (mainly their mothers). The only attraction is that At the beginning, the male protagonist asked the female protagonist; don't you think these caged birds are pitiful? The hostess smiled and replied: Don't let them fly everywhere? Later in the film, when the birds really start to fly around, it is ironic that people are forced to hide in the house, but this wave of attacks is stronger and more violent than the previous people's damage to the birds.
The narrative technique of disaster films is that after depicting the darkness of hell, a window is opened so that you can see the light of the outside world. As for the success of escape, it depends on the director's mood. The car carrying the people who were pecked and injured by the birds, which quickly drove off on the island full of birds, gradually became a lonely shadow, and the story came to an end. No aftertaste, no ending, and no explanation. Maybe even scientists can't explain why, nature's revenge? It came fast and fierce, taking away the time that originally belonged to you.
