    One of the best things about “The Birds” is the lack of an explanation. It just IS. These days, every movie plot has to have a contrived explanation. Far creepier with the reasons unknown. One of my all-time favorites.

    • @KRYPTOS_K5

      Sorry for my English.
      Your point is more or less true...
      The Zeit of the script and the general concepts of the personages admit the existence of some kind of explanation and simultaneously the protagonists assume the existence of some degree of mystery together with their radical ignorance about the stuff (say, "aggressive group of multi species birds").
      Old and good films admit doubt and their casts deeply admit the verisimilitude of their roles and actions.
      Old films talk about reality -- they don't rely on the pseudo reality of artificial graphics and pre programmed games of life, they are not simulations in a simulation.
      For instance, that old American ornithologist (a lady) proclaims the supposed impossibility of such strain of birds (the seagulls) behavior but 40 minutes later she was totally pale and confined in a room of Tides Restaurant (If I remember well) in a typical scene extracted from the (theatrical) mute realist cinema of German and Russian silent films (Eisenstein, Lang films) and so she needs a deep explanation to understand not the birds but herself and her errors about what reality really is !!
      It is impressive because it shows us that people in some moment in time are themselves only because that same people believe the universe supposedly is a well known whole (including me, a bit part of that whole).
      This is a master piece of cinema located in the true Bodega Bay, 1962. Hollywood (Oscar) even in the glorious Past was an imbecile creation -- Hitchcock never received an Oscar as a director.

      2 yrs late to the conversation, but I totally agree. Same thing with the 1960's The Haunting versus its remake in the 1990s. As for Hitchcock's movies like The Birds, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo, etc, something about them give a nostalgic feel about 1950's-1960's SF/NoCal, NYC, the Pacific Northwest. Although those movies are very mannered in a soundstage sort of way, I miss that in today's era of overly slick CGI & hip, no-mystique realism. Unless the property burned down or was bulldozed, I wonder why Michael didn't show where Mitch Brenner's house is? I doubt it was instead on Universal's backlot & must have really existed in Bodega Bay. As for the scenes in the small restaurant & of the town, they gave a friendly, relatable vibe to NoCal---psycho birds notwithstanding. lol

      Same here, I was a kid when I saw that… and that scene freaked me out a lot. The fact that there was no music during this scene, made it feel so real. Plus Hitchcock used things that made us feel safe. He was found dead, killed by birds, inside of his home, with a pajamas on.

      He liked to make cameos in his movies and other shows. I saw him get off a stage coach that had just arrived in Dodge City at the beginning of a “Gunsmoke” episode. Didn’t say a word, just got off the stage as a passenger and walked by the camera into town, not to be seen again in that episode.

    You brought back fond memories for me. My late husband knew how much of a Hitchcock fan I was and still am so he took us to Bodega Bay in 2013. Funny how that road has not changed. The fog was incredible. Thank God we had a Hummer. Long story short, we wanted to retire there but couldn't afford $500k then and still couldn't so we bought a place in Gold Beach, OR which is very similar to Bodega as in wind and fog and a population of about 2500 people. No Hitchcock history in town but I have all of his great movies that I watch to this day and lots of pictures. Psycho being #1 and The Birds #2. Love your travels. Stop in for a meal next time you visit Gold Beach. LOL😊😊

    Alfred Hitchcock was the commencement speaker at my college graduation from Santa Clara University in 1963. His message to us was to inject humor into our lives and future employment and he injected a lot of humor into his speech. His movie “The Birds” had just come out and he wondered how the University could confer the honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities on someone who said things like, “The Birds is coming” (to a theater near you). I got his autograph on my graduation program, consisting of his signature and a drawing of his face in profile, as it appeared on his television program “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”

    cool cool review of the birds filming locations. brings back many memories for me. i spent the summer of 1975 up in bodega bay with a friend and wound up working at the original tides restaurant as a dishwasher. even then everyone talked about the movie the birds but i had never seen it (this was way before vhs, dvd, or internet streaming). i'll never forget that summer.

      I like this movie, way far better than The Exorcist, which literally scared the hell out of me, and I do not want to ever see it again, especially because a scene depicted a oijua board which I am
      VERY DEATHLY SCARED OF!
      😱 Speaking of oijua boards, I had a peculiarly scary dream @ a new neighbor who had just moved in nextdoor to me borrowing one of those freaky things from some close relative of theirs.
      In this dream, when these new "weirdo" neighbors leaned the board up against their door, it just all of a sudden slammed against the ground in the hallway and split perfectly into two after I stepped out my door, followed by light grey smoke eerily smouldering from the broken pieces as I stood just frozen in a trance-like state in fear

    I asked my husband about the 3-step zoom towards Mr. Fawcett's pecked out eyes and he said that the original shot wasn't as grisly as what is shown in the final cut. Hitchcock had Albert Whitlock, who did the matte paintings, add more blood in post. Amazing!

    Great video. There are other ones that cover the filming locations of the Birds, but yours is by far the best. None of the other ones showed where the dock was and the fawcett farm. When I was a kid ,we on a family vacation to Bodega Bay a few months after production wrapped. We ate in the original Tides restaurant. They had photographs and autographs from the film. And the staff was happy to talk about it. We saw all the locations, including the schoolhouse. I still remember a lot from it. Went back a couple of more times after that. One of my favorite places. The cast and crew actually ate there as well.
