Description of this The Birds Hitchcock Movie Poster
The Birds is a 1963 American horror and suspense film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Based on the story of the same name written by Daphne du Maurier in 1952, it focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on the residents of Bodega Bay, California over the course of a few days.
The film stars Tippi Hedren in her screen debut, as well as Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette and Veronica Cartwright. The screenplay was written by Evan Hunter, who was asked by Hitchcock to develop new characters and a more elaborate plot while retaining the title and du Maurier's concept of unexplained bird attacks.
In 2016, The Birds was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry.
In the early 1960s, at a San Francisco pet store, socialite Melanie Daniels meets lawyer Mitch Brenner who is looking to buy lovebirds for his sister Cathy's 11th birthday. Recognizing Melanie during her court appearance for a prank gone wrong, Mitch pretends to mistake her for a store employee. Mitch tests Melanie's knowledge of birds, which she fails. He reveals to her that he already knew her and that his ruse was intended to make her appreciate being on the other end of the prank. Mitch leaves without buying anything. To redeem herself, and finding him attractive, Melanie buys the lovebirds and goes to Bodega Bay, after learning that Mitch went there for the weekend at his family's farm. Melanie is directed to the local schoolteacher, Annie Hayworth, to learn Cathy's name. Annie previously dated Mitch, but ended her relationship because of Mitch's cold and controlling mother Lydia, who doesn't like any women in Mitch's life.
In town, Melanie rents a boat and crosses the bay to discreetly leave the lovebirds at the Brenner farm. Mitch spots Melanie during her retreat and goes into town to meet her on the dock. As Mélanie approaches the dock, a seagull attacks her. Mitch tends to his head wound inside the cafe. Lydia arrives, meets Melanie, and Mitch tells Lydia that he is inviting Melanie to dinner. Mélanie returns to Annie's house and asks to spend the night at her place. At the farm, Lydia's chickens suddenly refuse to eat. Lydia tells Mitch of her disapproval of Melanie, due to her exaggerated reputation as reported in the gossip columns. Mitch calls Melanie and invites her to Cathy's birthday party the next day. Shortly after, a violent thud is heard at Annie's front door. A dead seagull is found on the threshold.
At Cathy's party, Melanie privately tells Mitch about her troubled past and the fact that her mother ran off with another man when Melanie was Cathy's age. During a game, the children are attacked and some injured by gulls. The next evening, while Melanie is having dinner with the Brenners, sparrows invade the house through the chimney. Afterwards, Mitch insists that she delay her return to San Francisco and spend the night at his house. The next morning, Lydia visits her neighbor to discuss why their chickens aren't eating. She discovers his eyeless corpse, pecked lifelessly by birds, and runs away, horrified. As Lydia recovers at home, she fears for Cathy's safety, and Mélanie offers to pick her up from school. As Melanie waits outside the school, a large flock of crows slowly engulfs the gymnasium behind her. Anticipating an attack, she warns Annie. As they evacuate the children, the crows attack, injuring several children. Mitch finds Mélanie at the restaurant. Outside, when a gas station attendant is attacked by seagulls, Mitch and several other men come to his aid. Spilled gasoline ignites and causes an explosion. As the fire escalates, Mélanie and others rush outside. Other gulls attack, and Melanie takes refuge in a telephone booth. Mitch saves her and they go back inside the restaurant. A distraught woman accuses Mélanie of being responsible for the attacks, saying they started when she arrived.
Mitch and Melanie go to Annie's house to look for Cathy. They find Annie's body outside, killed by crows while protecting Cathy. That night, Melanie and the Brenners barricade themselves in the family home, which is attacked by waves of birds that nearly break down the boarded-up doors and windows. During a lull, Melanie investigates a pounding noise in the attic. After discovering that the birds have broken in through the roof, they violently attack Melanie and trap her until Mitch rescues her. Mélanie is seriously injured and traumatized; Mitch insists that they all go to San Francisco to take Melanie to the hospital. As Mitch prepares Melanie's car for their escape, a menacing sea of birds has quietly gathered around the Brenner house. The car radio reports bird attacks on neighboring communities like Santa Rosa and the military may intervene. Cathy collects her lovebirds (the only birds that don't attack) from the house and joins Mitch and Lydia who carefully escort Melanie through a mass of birds and into the car. The car slowly drives away as thousands of birds perch ominously.
