About prophecy.

This movie is a prophetic work, similar to "Animal Farm". The image of birds has always been in film and television dramas, but the classic is that Hitchcock shot a group of birds, and it was so scary and immersive. The image of the bird is a symbol of children in literature. But in this movie, it is completely prophetic. Birds are replaced by any other creatures, even bacteria and viruses, which are all valid in this story. If you change places with humans, you can understand this prophetic and disaster. sex. There are two news stories in the movie, the first time, the news content downplays the attack on the child, because no one believes that the bird will shake the dominance of the people, including the representative residents of the town arguing in the tavern, getting too The conclusion is that it is impossible for birds to attack humans with a purpose. If so, what is the purpose? Swap it, why do people attack birds and what is the purpose? The second report acknowledged the attack and the island has been quarantined, but the next steps are still being discussed. It almost predicted that the West's behavior in dealing with disasters, in the negotiation, was out of control.

about the mother image.

Pay attention to the comparison between the image of the mother in Psycho and the image of the mother in this show. The former has always controlled the son, and the son also accepted this control, which eventually led to the killing of the mother and the split personality. One personality is himself, the other personality is mother, and the two personalities switch and control themselves. The latter's mother was afraid of being abandoned, and kept comparing her son to her husband, trying to interfere with her son's behavior, control him, and be by his side, so that she would feel safe. But fortunately, the son does not accept this kind of control. In the play, the mother says, "He always does what he really wants to do." Her control and possession have not been realized. Therefore, the male protagonist of this show is rational, mature, responsible, and very gentleman. During the crisis, his mother was too scared and angry with him. He did not argue with his mother, but poured a cup of coffee to calm her mother down. Rather than being possessive, the mother in this movie is too insecure.
