Movies Everyone Seems to Love But Me

Rating: 4/10 (2 September 2016)

Movie: The Birds(1961) Date: 7/21/16 Comments:The Birds tells the story of a socialite who went off-way to meet a lawyer whom she had troubles early that day. Love develops and so is a mystery. A group of birds suddenly turns hostile and attacks the people around them.
Personally, TB feels like a schlock horror that tries to encapsulate the ridiculousness of the plot with personal turmoil within the group. Sadly unlike his earlier films, it did not jive nor did it complement the overall story. It kinda made the film look like a big joke. I mean how the hell does a group of bird chop off the eyes of a teacher and not of the socialite in the same time period. Better yet ask why does this bird tries to eat the eye part ? What with the lawyer that makes every GIRL in his life one googly- eyed over him? In addition, questionable visual also dampens the overall film (ie. god-awful bird attack effect).
The Bird is clearly not Hitchcock best and not even his unique brand of suspense can save it from the silly of its subject matter or plain mediocrity of its visual[2/5]
