    I saw this film as a child of 8 or so. This is when I became a fan of being horrified. Your reaction to the man who was found dead in his bedroom was brilliant. You made me realise how well this film was made. Watching the movie through your eyes made me appreciate this classic even more. The ending is the best WTF moment ever and I loved your 'that's it!?!?' look on your face. The movie ramps up to a harrowing pace and then all of a sudden...THE END. Hitchcock was a nasty genius.

    "The Birds" is a horror story by the UK writer Daphne du Maurier. Hitchcock based two other of his movies, "Rebecca" and "Jamaica Inn" on her stories. The original story was set in Cornwall, and in it a farmhand, his family and his community come under lethal attack from flocks of birds. Years ago, as my aunt and her young children were watching "The Birds," a single bird came down their chimney like in the movie. Needless to say, they were not amused.

    You undoubtedly know that Rod Taylor was Australian and it was a shock when I heard him speak in his regular voice in an interview.

    Another enjoyable reaction, Mo! You might as well add more Hitchcock to your list, as you do seem to enjoy his films. He was quite a prolific director, so there are many to choose from, but my favorites from the better known ones are Dial 'M" for Murder (1954), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959) and, of course, Rear Window (1954). These all have strong elements of tension and/or suspense, which is what Hitchcock really excelled at in his directing. Have a great week!

    It was purposely left unanswered as to WHY they attacked.
    According to Wikipedia, this movie was also partly inspired by an actual mass bird attack on the seaside town of Capitola, CA on August 18, 1961, when "Capitola residents awoke to a scene that seemed straight out of a horror movie. Hordes of seabirds were dive-bombing their homes, crashing into cars and spewing half-digested anchovies onto lawns". Hitchcock learned of this during the making of the movie, using it as research material. The real cause was that the birds had eaten toxic algae, but it wasn't known until much later. In the movie, they mention a similar bird attack "last year" in Santa Cruz, an implied reference to the Capitola attack.

      I agree. The beauty of this thriller is that it was never explained why the birds attacked. As a kid, after seeing this movie, I looked at birds quite differently. According to an interview with Hitchcock, the movie was a statement on people taking nature for granted. Thanks for the intel on the actual bird attack!

      Yes, "Rope" is a very intense and interesting film. It's also very disturbing. it was inspired by the 1924 US murder case of Leopold and Loeb. Two college students kidnapped and murdered a young teen-age boy as a demonstration of their imagined intellectual and cultural superiority. "Rope" was made soon after WW II and it examines its causes through the lens of this murder. The two killers are Brandon and Phillip. Both are obviously gay in the story. I might add the actors were gay in real life as well. Brandon, the mastermind, explains his crime by citing Nietzsche’s concept of the “Superman” or "Overman," which Brandon says puts exceptional individuals above the moral systems of their inferiors. Of course, Brandon considers himself "exceptional." The Superman has his own unique morality that justifies his actions, including killing. In other words, killing an inferior isn't murder if you're a Superman. Leopold and Loeb said the same thing. After hearing Brandon's pontificating on the subject, the movie victim’s father retorts that Hitler subscribed to Nietzsche’s philosophy, too, and built upon it the concept of the master race and its responsibility to eliminate inferior races. Some people will say this isn't what Nietzsche said. It was his sister and her husband who edited his works who introduced and improper spin as it were. Be that as it may, it's close enough to both Brandon and Hitler, regardless.
      Anyway, "Rope" is a very good movie, but wasn't well received at the time. It is very dark and somewhat cerebral. In fact, it's so dark and disturbing that I can't watch it again.
      "Rope" made use of the 1929 play by Patrick Hamilton, "Rope’s End." Undoubtedly a reference to the murder weapon and the ultimate consequence of the act. Hitchcock decided to shoot the play, which has no time lapses and takes place in one set in an hour-and-a-half, as continuous action. The camera never stops, and it's done in what seems to be one take. However, the film would not be made on a theater stage but under sound stage conditions. Hitchcock decided that "Rope" would be his first color (Technicolor) picture. Hitchcock’s plan was to shoot all nine reels of Rope with the usual variety of camera angles from closeups to long shots but without seeming to cut. The camera would be kept in continuous motion, prying into the action like a fly-on-the-wall. Because only about 900 feet of film could be shot at one time before a new reel had to be swapped-in, filming was done in segments of nine minutes or less. To disguise reel changes, it was necessary to resort to various dodges. For example, the lid of the chest where the body lay is raised, momentarily obscuring the scene as the lid comes close to the camera lens. Sometimes the camera fixates on some part of the room not occupied by actors, picks up the same view on the next reel and continues the camera movement. Often one of the actors brushes past the camera or the camera moves in close to somebody’s jacket at the end of the take.
      As often has been noted, Hitchcock's films are experiments in filmmaking. "Rope" is no exception. The result is a riveting and disturbing film, albeit one that sometimes reminds the viewer of its origins as a stage-play

    Enjoyed your reaction to "The Birds." Yes, I did get the first impression that Mitch's mother didn't like Melanie, and if Annie got the right signals from Mitch about getting back together, Melanie would have been knocked out of the way.
    I, along with others who have seen this movie, were yelling at Melanie not to go upstairs and open that door!
    Fun fact: Tippi Hedren (who plays Melanie Daniels) is the mother of Melanie Griffith from "Working Girl" (which you recently reacted to) and the grandmother of Dakota Johnson.

    I really like Alfred Hichcock's movies so I'm really glad you've watched another one of his and you plan to watch more. The Birds and Psycho are both really great, but I think my favorite is Rear Window. I'm also a big fan of Rope and Strangers On A Train. But Hitchckock did so many other great movies, like Dial M For Murder, Frenzy, Rebecca. I know Vertigo and North By Northwest are also quite loved, but, altough they're really great films, they're not my favourites. But maybe they'll be yours?
    The Birds is inspired by a short story by Daphne du Maurier. In du Maurier's story, the birds also starts to attack randomly (you've not missed anything in the movie, there really isn't any reason given). It's like a big "what if". What if the birds started attacking us? What could we do? How could we defend ourselves? Could we even survive? And I think this makes it even more scary, because if there was a definite cause, then maybe you could act on it and reverse the phenomena. But here, you are completely in the dark. I would highly recommend you reading the short story. It is as good as the movie, but the setting is different. The short story takes place in England, a few years after the war, and in a very rural community and is set in the first week of what will surely be a very cold winter.
    I know a lot of people critisize Melanie for going upstairs alone, and I agree it isn't a good idea and she should have wakened Mitch to not be alone. But I can see where she's coming from. Everyone is exhausted and finally asleep, she's not even sure she's heard anything, she doesn't want Mitch's mother and sister to panic so she decides to go and make sure there's really something there before alerting Mitch.
    Sorry for rambling on, but I'm really a fan of both book and movie, so I had to chew your ears (eyes?) off 😉😅

    If you watch a bunch of Hitchcock films, you will see his distinctive common touches. On the other hand, his stories are all over the place, generally with a bunch of suspense. Some are thrillers, some are mysteries, and so on. Some have happy endings, others not.
    My favorites are The Lady Vanishes, Dial M for Murder (watch his version, not the remake although it isn't too bad), North by Northwest. Your other viewers will have other favorites. (Boy, he did a whole lot.)
    ----
    PS - Psycho had Marian CRANE and a bunch of stuffed birds. But this movie you are about to watch is another Jurassic Park, limited to avian dinosaurs, but still the critters going amok.
    ----
    Almost universally, ALL people seen driving in cars back then were actually sitting in a studio cutout car and had rear projection. (Check Psycho for the same thing.) It tends to look fake (at least to us today) but I think it was due to the bulky size of the cameras at the time. One annoying thing as a result will be the driver will turn to talk to the other passengers next to him or in the rear seat for a long time. I often shout at the screen "keep your eyes on the road!"

I do Have a Hitchcock Gem for you. Hitchcock is known more for his suspense and horror films, but His earlier films were nicer. I have to recommend " The Farmer's wife" Its a beautiful black and white silent film by hitchcok about a man who lost his wife, his daughte get's married and he's still in his prime and goes on a hunt for a new wife, with the help of his late wife's companion and house maid Minta. it's a cute funny comedy with an ending that almost has a cinderella vibe.
