I love Hitchcock, but this is one of his that hasn't aged well. I can see how it was scary at the time of release though,
-
Visual style of 'Vertigo' matched with the horror of 'Psycho' makes 'The Birds' one of Hitchcocks best films.

They just don't make like this anymore. It's a good fifty minutes before anything really happens - the time allows us to connect with the characters which establishes a large deal - then when the chaos starts you really care what happens to our main characters. I just can't understand why modern thrillers and horrors allude this well-proven strategy that that 'The Birds', 'Rosemary's Baby' and a number of other films use. This is an excellent film which creates discomfort…

This film is 50 years old. It's also ace.
To enjoy it now though you have to remind yourself to not judge it by today's standards. For all his influences on modern cinema Hitchcock certainly did some strange things.For instance:
www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IdOF7xg5lug#t=75sThose 3 reaction shots are just weird. However; I can't help but see a link through to the work of Edgar Wright there.
What I did conclude at the end is that if this film was made today…

Una mujer conoce a un hombre que quiere periquitos. Ella intuye por el asunto de las plumas que es gay, pero lo persigue para darle lo que quiere. No sabemos si con la intención de ser su mariliendre o de convencerlo de que las mujeres son lo más para que le enseñe él su periquito a ella.
Lo mejor es que todo esto sucede durante una agresiva campaña electoral, donde el PP está dispuesto a todo por ganar. Gaviotazos mediante,…

My second Hitchcock outing and unlike the magnificent "Rope" this shows it's age. It's still a charming and enjoyable film despite some of the obvious flaws.
The special effects are simply very bad looking, not at all realistic, yet they still have a very strong effect. I was made flustered watching the various characters swat away these birds. You could obviously tell that they were in a set and not once did I feel immersed. The acting was very flat…

É complicado primeiro assistir a muitos filmes que certamente tiveram influência de The Birds, para depois, de fato, ver The Birds.
Um pioneiro de não focar na causa, mas sim, na consequência. Em como as pessoas se comportam em uma situação única e extrema, independente de como essa situação se deu. Filmes como Ensaio sobre a Cegueira e seriados como The Walking Dead fazem isso hoje.
Ousado para época, em diversos aspectos (visual, roteiro, fim…), se você não se contextualiza, pode não perceber o quão bom é esse clássico.

Excellent special effects.

I really, really, really, wanted to love this, but I couldn't. Parts were awesome, but ultimately it just fell flat for me.

RATING: 8/10
Alfred Hitchcock’s THE BIRDS [1963]; in the wake of the success of Hitchcock’s PSYCHO, the master of suspense was in need of another film to rival the chills of that film. The answer came in the form of a Novella by Daphne Du Maurier, which told the story about small Cornish Village coming under attack by a flock of Birds attacking the local population. For Hitchcock’s film took the concept about the unexplained Bird attacks and transplanted it… -
The Birds ranks among Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films, and within it lies one of his most stunning scenes— the cross-cut editing of Melanie (Tippi Hedren) smoking on a bench as the playground bars behind her gradually become replete with crows is awe-inducing. It’s exemplary of Hitchcock’s masterful manipulation of tension through images, only heightened by using an eerily repetitive children’s choir instead of Bernard Herrmann’s characteristic strings. Moments later, a stand-out scene in the local Bodega diner allows Hitchcock to…
