Description of this Hitchcock The Birds Movie Poster
The Birds is a 1963 American horror and suspense film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Based on the 1952 story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, it centers 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, along with Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright. The screenplay is by Evan Hunter, whom Hitchcock asked 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 attorney Mitch Brenner, who is looking to buy lovebirds for his sister Cathy’s 11th birthday. Recognizing Melanie from 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 that he already knew her and that his ruse was intended to make her appreciate being on the other end of the joke. Mitch leaves without buying anything. To make amends, and finding him attractive, Melanie buys the lovebirds and goes to Bodega Bay, after learning that Mitch has gone there for the weekend to stay at his family’s farm. Melanie is directed to the local schoolteacher, Annie Hayworth, to learn Cathy’s name. Annie once dated Mitch but ended it because of Mitch’s cold and controlling mother, Lydia, who dislikes any woman in Mitch’s life.
In town, Melanie rents a boat and crosses the bay to discreetly drop the lovebirds off at the Brenner farm. Mitch spots Melanie during her retreat and goes into town to join her on the dock. As Melanie approaches the dock, a seagull attacks her. Mitch nurses his head wound inside the cafe. Lydia arrives, meets Melanie, and Mitch tells Lydia he’s inviting Melanie to dinner. Melanie returns to Annie’s house and asks to spend the night. 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, there is a loud thud 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 seagulls. The following evening, while Melanie is having dinner with the Brenners, sparrows invade the house through the chimney. Afterward, Mitch insists 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 her eyeless corpse, pecked lifelessly by the birds, and runs away in horror. As Lydia recovers at home, she fears for Cathy’s safety, and Melanie 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 Melanie 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, Melanie and others rush outside. More seagulls attack, and Melanie takes refuge in a phone booth. Mitch rescues her, and they return to the restaurant. A distraught woman accuses Melanie of the attacks, claiming they started with her arrival.
Mitch and Melanie go to Annie’s house to look for Cathy. They find Annie’s body outside, killed by crows while she was 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 in the fire, Melanie investigates a flapping noise in the attic. After discovering that the birds have entered through the roof, they violently attack Melanie and trap her until Mitch pulls her out. Melanie is severely injured and traumatized; Mitch insists they all drive to San Francisco to take Melanie to the hospital. As Mitch prepares Melanie’s car for their getaway, a menacing sea of birds has quietly gathered around the Brenner house. The car radio is reporting bird attacks on nearby communities like Santa Rosa, and the military may be involved. Cathy retrieves her lovebirds (the only birds that don’t attack) from the house and joins Mitch and Lydia, who cautiously escort Melanie through a mass of birds and into the car. The car slowly drives away as thousands of birds perch ominously.
