Awesome video. I never thought of The Birds as Lovecraftian horror. Considering it has an inhuman intelligence, that's utterly indifferent to us, it's hard not to see it anew in that light.
Coincidentiy I watched this movie last night. An excellent analysis. The reason for the birds attacking was ambiguous, I thought at first that they were targeting Tippi Hedren and the caged lovebirds, but then the man with the pecked out eyes was discovered by Rod Taylor's mum in another part of town. I think the birds had finally had enough of their treatment by humans, being caged, sold in pet shops etc. Mrs Bundy "Birds are not agressive miss. They bring beauty into the world..." Watress shouting order: ""Sam! Three southen fried chicken. Baked potato on all of them"
Glad I got to coincide with your own viewing. That point about the fried chicken line is a good pull. Another example of that sly, dark, Hitchcockian humour.
Nothing gets me fired up quite like a director opting for no music, as Hitch did here. No score to give you any hint of what to feel. What better choice to give the indifference of nature centre stage?
I remember seeing this as a little kid. A few days later I was taken to a Dodger game. I kept thinking what would happen if birds attacked the stadium. I wondered how we would escape the birds without getting crushed by the panicking crowd.
I do a lot of camping and trail running and spend a lot of time in the wilderness alone. I remind myself A LOT that "nature doesn't care". People without experience in the real outdoors sometimes don't understand that it's not Disneyland out there. Nature doesn't care who we are, it's going to do with it's going to do. We need to respect that when we out in its element. This is a great series and a great video. I LOVE The Birds! It was always one of my favorites.
Thank God that garbage movie Birdemic exists, now you can go back and appreciate the bird attacks in Hitchcock's The Birds, now they look like Terminator 2 special effects compared to that garbage. Plus, Hitchcock is a master in creating suspense even with a movie plot like this. It's weird that there is no music, I know that he wanted to do the same thing with Psycho but that movie needed Bernard Hermann's score. Oh I highly recommend the trailer, Hitchcock knows how to create a trailer, you don't see trailers like this anymore. Trailers for Psycho and The Birds are so long and yet not one single footage from the film...genius. I highly recommend Rob Ager's analysis on the Psycho trailer.
Speaking of lack of control, apparently there were actual horrific stories that took place during production which even Hitchcock as director could not prevent from happening... or which he merely allowed while showing his own indifference to his cast (after all, to him, actors were cattle). The dead farmer with his eyes plucked out (boy that shocked me as a kid the first time I saw it!) was actually added for realism on short notice because it actually happened in reality during production. Then there was the attic scene. Originally there were supposed to be animatronic mock-ups and optical FX instead of real birds, but time and budgetary constraints resulted in Hitchcock having to use real birds, while also having Tippi Hedren don what was at the time disturbing make-up (she threw up after one look in the mirror) and having birds actually pinned to her dress. One bird actually sank its beak into one of her eyelids, and she had to be sent to the hospital for three straight weeks of recovery. Hitchcock, upon inquiring about the treatment of his new contract blonde, had this response from the doctor paraphrasing Oscar Wilde: "You destroy the thing you love."
I’ll be honest. The Birds is not my favorite Hitchcock movie, but I never thought of to look at it as a zombie movie before. Like your Dawn of the Dead video, I love your parallels with the current pandemic as these films have demonstrated the selfishness of human beings being incredibly relevant. Can’t wait to see the rest of these videos.
The zombie comparison is one I only learned recently. Glad you liked it, Matt! The pandemic theme doesn't carry into the next three videos but hopefully interest maintains.
I just watched this film for the first time and immediately came to TH-cam to find some analysis. Because as much as I responded to the storytelling and the action, I did not “get it”. Thanks for such a thoughtful and insightful video, made even more vibrant with the pandemic parallels. Bravo 😊
I have a fond memory of watching this in college (possibly for a class, but I can't remember), and all of us burst out laughing during the gas station scene. I have no idea how the effects held up with contemporary audiences, but it was just so absurd by modern standards. The combination of how abrupt and out of place the explosion seemed and the dated nature of the special effects just had a comical quality to it that hit the whole group.
I will repeat my comment I always have for your wonderful videos: "Once again, thank you for another thoughtful and well made videos!" Great as usual and keep up the excellent work
One of my favourite videos of yours. I won't lie, I thought The Birds was pretty weak when I first watched it a couple years ago, and it is still my least favourite Hitchcock film to this day. However, you brought up some points I had never thought of, and I'll be sure to give it another chance this October.
Nice essay, but you say that there is no reason whatsoever for why the birds behave the way they do in the movie. This isn't entirely true. At one point the locals blame Tippi Hedren's character for bringing on the wrath of the birds as she is an outsider "invading" their territory. Also the fact that she is bringing two caged birds with her may signal the reason for the other birds' distress. And finally, it is hinted by the pet shop scene at the beginning that the way humans have treated birds (and nature) in general may be a cause for the birds taking "revenge" upon humans. This is also emphasized when we see the overhead shot of the fire in the town which attracts the attention of even more birds. COVID-19 did not just come from nowhere, either. Clearly humans bear some kind of responsibility in its emergence at this point in time.
Fair points. There is implication of some sort of retribution but it's vague and very obtuse. Like, maybe Melanie's presence has influenced the attacks, but also maybe the locals are just scared and looking for answers. Maybe the birds are taking revenge, but then again maybe not. It's deviously unclear.
Like is pointed out in the video, most all the movie is a character study. The bird attacks are intricately linked to the characters, their emotions and relationships and are not separate. I've always read the bird attacks as an outward reflection of the hostility Mitch's mother has towards Melanie. The attacks end when Lydia finally accepts Melanie as Mitch's love interest. Lydia's animosity isn't completely gone though as the birds are still lurking, watching.
so i just watched a 60th anniversary screening of the movie (2nd tone watching it ever), and i find it interesting you made zombie movie references, as Night of the Living Dead was one of the movies i def had flashes of when watching this time. the ending as well as the freak out of the lady in the cafe made me think of The Mist. and having seen Nope for the first time recently, the part when they walked by the playground to look for Annie and looked right at the crows just made me immediately think of OJ's "nope" when he was checking to see if it was safe to exit the truck
I still frakking love The Birds, have the DVD, watch it on occasion still. It also has one aspect of my "double header of hate" that usually gets my extreme ire , those 2 things being, "No explanation" (Something you mentioned) and "Big Cliffhanger without promise of sequel". That one you can see in my utter love of the movies LIFE and District 9 (2 examples) and yet my extreme hatred of them at the same time being left with no continuance despite the biggest aspect of the films being a demand/need for a continuance to complete a TRULY incomplete storyline that in the end leaves you with a very sincere unsatisfied feeling. The Birds is one of the very few movies that violate one of these 2 no-nos to me but without any detraction from my love of the film or my satisfaction with it, or its' conclusion as a complete experience. The Birds is one of those rare films that truly needs no explanation and is actually better served without one. A good analogy would be the film "A Quiet Place", this movie was ruined by the lack of explanation of any kind for the nemesis' presence. Aliens? Mutations? who knows, while it's counterpart the Netflix film "Silence" which takes the same premise although quite different in substance, explains quickly, easily and quite satisfactorily the nemesis in the first 5 minutes. Making "Silence" miles above it's foundational forbearer for just that simple fact alone. It's other qualities also are a tad bit better overall. I still like A Quiet Place and did get the dvd for my collection but it feels a poor experience compared to its' similar themed sister-film. The birds has always fascinated me as one of those rare films that you hear very little complaints about it's lack of explanation, to be honest I don't recall ANYONE I know or film buff I know who complains about it's lack of explanation, it's just that good.
3:40 - I heard a theory a long time ago that the cause of the attack was that Tippi Hedron’s character brought the love birds, I.e. birds in captivity to the small town which caused the birds in the wild to revolt.
Its so weird hearing so many american still being so fearful and even moralistic about covid, obviously everyone was like that but in Canada people are starting to be blazé now, our economy has opened up, and despite a rise in cases, the death rate has stood still, as in, its the same as when we were in quarantine. We still have public mask policy in stores and public transport and in the school hallways but life has pretty much gotten back to normal in Canada.
@@kbreezy6153 to be fair fiction is very often compatible to reality. The connection can be tenuous but I don't think it necessarily is here given the birds and the theme of nature's indifference. He did also mention that he was talking exclusively America as well. I just felt a bit insulted to hear him talk say HOW DARE PEOPLE DO ANYTHING BUT STAY IN THEIR HOUSES AS IF NUKES ARE BEING DROPPED, when in Canada (and Switzerland apparently) there is a legitimate reason to do so. And overall I find it very annoying when people play psychologist with people they disagree with without even considering for a second that THEY might be the one in the wrong. It makes him (and anyone else like him) seem ironically closed minded and incapable of having their minds changed for some kind of weird psychologic reason.
@@EyebrowCinema but are the death rates going up with it? That's what actually matters. I mean I could grant the notion of the deaths will come later but this rise in cases has been a thing for the past month and the death rate has stood pretty much still.
Íf it ever came down to a war between birds and humans, honestly I might just side with the birds. Such amazing sneaky winged bastards. They deserve it.
WHATEVER THE F#$% HITCHCOCK USED its HORROR! he was a master, ( a cruel director) but a master. In BIRDS the horror its on the THECNICHAL PART, the sounds, the planes, even the lack of "THE END" on the end... Genious! BUT for me nothing compares to Night of the Living Dead . Its more than sounds, its low budget guys!! c'mon!!! Romero make history that year. theres violence, racism, a kid turn in to a zombie in 68?? Shit! this is art. I read all the comics of walking that and sooo many things from this scrpt! its eternal!
IMO with Hitchcock's biggest movies >The Birds is overrated and bad >Psycho is overrated and good >Vertigo is properly rated >Rear Window is properly rated >North By Northwest is good but a worse version of The 39 Steps
Interesting, but too bad for the ending. We now know that the lockdown was way more deadly than the pandemic. (Not sure exactly when the video was published though.) Anyway, regarding the analysis, I heard Rob Ager do a complete opposite one, I don't know if you watched it since but it makes sense too. The behaviours of the birds can be seen as linked to the whole plot, in the relationships between characters and their psychologies. Also a pretty interesting take.
I liked the until the covid stuff. An interesting parallel but ultimately an exploitative, misinformed and cringey take. Anti-lockdown protests were about opposing government overreach, not about raging against some vapid inconveniences.
Depends on which anti-lockdown people you are talking about. I have seen plenty of people who thought they can just immune up COVID and get on with their life.

Horror movies don't frighten me easily.
"The Birds" is one of the few that left me genuinely unnerved, frightened, and disturbed by the end.
Early horror cinema is a trip, anything could be a monster: Ants? Monsters, Lizards? Monsters, Birds? Oh boy let me tell you
Arguably reached an apex with Night of the Lepus. Killer bunnies and they are adorable.
Loved how it appeared in The Matrix.
Awesome video. I never thought of The Birds as Lovecraftian horror. Considering it has an inhuman intelligence, that's utterly indifferent to us, it's hard not to see it anew in that light.
That's a really nice point of comparison. Even the ending as a certain Lovecraftian intrigue.
Coincidentiy I watched this movie last night. An excellent analysis.
The reason for the birds attacking was ambiguous, I thought at first that they were targeting Tippi Hedren and the caged lovebirds, but then the man with the pecked out eyes was discovered by Rod Taylor's mum in another part of town.

hahahahaha GREAT TAKE Barry!!!
Nothing gets me fired up quite like a director opting for no music, as Hitch did here. No score to give you any hint of what to feel. What better choice to give the indifference of nature centre stage?
All bolder a choice given he was coming off Vertigo, North by Northwest, and Psycho. Three films greatly elevated by fantastic music.
I remember seeing this as a little kid. A few days later I was taken to a Dodger game. I kept thinking what would happen if birds attacked the stadium. I wondered how we would escape the birds without getting crushed by the panicking crowd.
Terrifying.
I do a lot of camping and trail running and spend a lot of time in the wilderness alone. I remind myself A LOT that "nature doesn't care". People without experience in the real outdoors sometimes don't understand that it's not Disneyland out there. Nature doesn't care who we are, it's going to do with it's going to do.

You make a good point here about the ending of The Birds both screams for a sequel, and yet is also more perfect as a singular entity.
M. Knight's Shyamalan's The Happening is sort of a plant version of The Birds. That might be a nice comparison to make.
And Day Of The Triffids, is another sort of plant-based zombie movie.
Is it weird that what finally convinced me to watch The Birds was being told that the first hour is a character drama with no bird attacks?
I always see Dawn of the Dead as a continuation of The Birds.
I’m loving these connections you make with our current predicament. Outstanding work.
Thanks, Richard!
