9:36 I think that the reason why this scene was silent was because this was an early horror movie. At the time of this release, Alfred Hitchcock was probably one of the few well-known directors who made horror/thriller movies. The average moviegoer wasn't used to seeing the image of a bloody corpse with it's eyes pecked out lying on the floor, and the shock was probably intense enough for most people. They didn't actually need scary sound effects of dramatic music to scare people with this kill.

[@skyofthelivingdead]

It’s awesome. Yes, it’s dated in ways (it’s nearly 60 years old though so that can’t really be held against it), but at its core it’s still a great movie with a unique plot and well-written characters. I saw it for the first time around 2009 when I was in high school, and I was still impressed by how well it held up. I’m actually kinda surprised it was allowed to be shown in school considering the scene of the man with his eyes pecked out. It’s pretty graphic.

I think you should give Tippi Hedren’s character arc a second chance. I understand what you’re saying about how the story took a strong willed woman and made her weak and frail. But put it in the context of the birds in the novel, which were really an allegory for the war planes that were flying overhead. What her character arc is showing is really the ravages of war. How war can beat down even the strongest person sometimes.

[@cherylkeller5181]

Interesting comment !

[@thingthang2904]

For me personally, it's the trope of the man taking over that bothers me. It takes away from the focus of her being worn down because the stakes around her don't change along with her (because when she gets weak, the man takes over so she remains protected even if she can't protect herself). It would've been far more impactful, in my opinion, if the birds killed Mitch and she left with the other two Brenners, a shell of the character she was in the beginning. With Mitch there, it's as if none of her breakdown matters since he can take care of everything.

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

@@thingthang2904 - Just because you're a Feminist doesn't mean that the misogyny you so desperately crave is everywhere you look. For all of his failings Hitchcock was extremely adept at creating complex female characters, who were actually strong and independent - instead of just acting strong and independent when it wouldn't be inconvenient. Melanie is broken by her circumstances not because men willed it because they hate her... or whatever stupid thing you think. Also I'm not saying this because you're a woman, if you were a male Feminist it would still be a brain meltingly stupid observation.

[@thingthang2904]

@@goawayleavemealone2880 I'm not a woman and I'm not a feminist so there goes that. Every assumption you made (both about my character and my argument) is off. I never said Hitchcock didn't write female characters well. I didn't even say he wrote Melanie poorly. I never said Melanie is broken because of some man (nor do I believe it). I said that Mitch taking over and becoming a solution to Melanie's obstacles takes away from the impact that her breakdown has. Melanie gets weaker but the stakes hit a wall with Mitch there saving her. The trope doesn't bother me just because it's a trope. It bothers me because it becomes too convenient to the plot for my liking.

[@avacatherine5646]

Additionally, given that Tippi Hedren was being terrorised bully the director irl its absolutely reasonable that it’d affect her acting.

[@laraweinberg7635]

While I understand being upset over Melony seemingly acting "weaker", nows a good time for a friendly reminder that strong female characters can still be strong and have moments of weakness. She'd been through so much at this point, it's understandable that she'd be in shock. Strong characters don't have to be strong all the time to be considered such.

[@246kisses]

I agree, everyone has a breaking point and hundreds of birds flying at your face would probably break anyone

[@toodeadtowatch]

Its a good tactic to scare the audience . Like Ripley finally being alone on the escape pod at the end of Alien (she was almost hyperventilating) the plot builds a character that seems unshakeable, and then finally shakes them at the climax. "The cool spunky lady is scared of the birds? Oh dang I better be scared of the birds too!"

[@Amber_xo_133]

When audiences left the U.K. premiere at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London, they were greeted by the sound of screeching and flapping birds from loudspeakers hidden in the trees to scare them further. Sir Alfred Hitchcock revealed on The Dick Cavett Show (1968) that 3,200 birds were trained for the movie. He said the ravens were the cleverest, and the seagulls were the most vicious. It is never revealed why the birds started attacking people.

I have to commend you for this video. You brought the entire movie back to life as well as placed it in the context of the times (with appropriate humor). My parents did not allow me to see this in the theatre. When I finally did get to see it, it was the scariest movie I had ever seen. But what I didn't realize until now was how intricate and inventive was the plot also. This is what movie making is all about. Unquestionably one of the greatest movies ever made, IMHO.

A shout out should be given to this film for its special effects, especially the gas station scene, which was fantastically dramatic and impressively shot.

[@glambert169507]

On an episode of Eli Roth’s history of horror they were talking about the birds and I think they talked about how Melanie’s arc was in a way a metaphor for women in the 60s to be housewives and not have any sort of development of sorts if you know what I mean. It’s super interesting and I loved this episode Happy 2019 James!

For real though, that transition from location to a set was choice

[@Aerialbot]

I remember having a lengthy discussion with someone about this film, he insisted that it wasn't - and couldn't be - any good because it's just about normal birds and not scary. My position was that is exactly Hitchcock's genius - taking something as innocuous and everyday as birds and presenting them in such a way as to make them ominous through clever use of silence, tension and direction. Kind of dressing a sheep in wolf's clothing! They're not genetic experiment zombirds or slavering birdasauruses, they're just seagulls and crows and the like, and that's way more creepy. I bet a lot of people after seeing this when it came out looked a little more warily up at the trees as they walked through the park just as Jaws made people more cautious of going in the sea! The scene with the crows gradually, quietly, accumulating in the playground is an absolute classic to me, and the first thing I always think of with this film.

[@peppercat1887]

If I remember right, Hitchcock was a firm believer that the most scary issues to press on us are normalities and tension. He didn't believe gore and monsters are scary but things like the unknown, the incomprehensible, warped normalities. For example, running away from something dangerous but you don't know what it is and as you hide, your fear of getting caught of the unknown. It's the same principle why people are almost having salvation when it comes to having knowledge of missing people. You always wonder what happened, you are puzzled, you fear for their health etc. It's so bad, for the large majority of people, it's always better to have knowledge of what is going on. Hitchcock was potentially the all time great for true Psychological Horror.

[@mvk9418]

Wow. You have a LOT of time on your hands

[@Aerialbot]

​@@peppercat1887 Yeah exactly, well put! You often hear from people in situations like missing family/friends or even suffering from unknown illnesses that the "not knowing" is the hardest part. Even if the news is bad at least it's something concrete to be addressed and confronted.
