Director: Alfred Hitchcock Release Date: March 18, 1963 I watched the Alfred Hitchcock film, The Birds. I had super high expectations for this film because Kelsey and Mrs. Lawson both told me it was a really good movie. I also think I had super high expectations because I've enjoyed the other Hitchcock films we watched in class. I am disappointed in this film. I think the concept is so peculiar and it was not scary at all. In the beginning, I thought the movie was a romance movie and, all of a sudden, these birds just flail themselves across the TV screen. I thought "the birds" were supposed to be symbolic of love, but I was extremely wrong. I believe Hitchcock used a technicolor camera while filming this. Melanie, the protagonist, has bright blue eyes and orange nail polish which were super vibrant in the movie. There were some really cool shots of Melanie driving to Bodega Bay on the coastal highway. You can see the mountains and the ocean, it was the calm before the storm of birds attacking. I think this movie is okay, I think it would've been better if I watched it with some friends.
