The Birds

My parents had mentioned they wanted to see Alfred Hitchock's The Birds, and as soon I realized AFI was holding a screening at Arclight Hollywood, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. The copy of the film was presented with several imperfections, with only added to the cinematic experience. The audience took their seats with the appropriate atmosphere within the cinema; Bernard Hermann's score was playing over an empty screen. As the lights faded away and the music came to an end, we were transported back into 1963.

Although I had seen the film in an English class in high school, I didn't remember much. For the most part, this was the best way to experience one of Hitchcock's most regonizable films. The dialogue of the film is surprisingly sharp, with both Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor sharing the screen brilliantly during their first encounter. The film lacks a clear subject matter; however, Hitchcock is able to entertain us and drive the story forward.

I'm sure much can be said about the visual effects or the reason behind the attack of the birds. I believe the approach to the visuals were handled with taste; although it definitely seems dated, it presents us with an horrifying experience. M. Night Shyamalan mentioned this film to be an inspiration for The Happening, and looking at both films, you can see direct influences and his source for inspiration. They both contain similiar characters, who unlike The Happening, are stuck within their small town. However, both deal with an unexplainable attack which can be traced back to nature, or even the absence of love.

The Birds doesn't feature a live score, which only adds to the intensity of the overall film. Unfortunently, the film feels dated during certain scenes, which caused the audience to break into laughter several times. The Birds isn't Alfred Hitchcock's best, but it definitely is among his most influential to modern day cinema. Perhaps one day I will go into further detail about my personal analysis of the film.
