So what?

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2008)

Not that this film is bad by any means.
But, Hitch's promos for it were far more entertaining.
The question always pops into my mind about "The Birds"...
"Who cares?"
End of world movie? There are better ones, especially down the pike one year later in '64.
Freudian in meaning? How cliché. Freud wasn't even wrong.
Different? Sure.
But, who cares? Fun to watch. Not much meaning apparent to gain from.
What one gathers from this movie depends on who that one is.
But, I'm not one of them.
If I will allow myself to go nuts watching a film, gimme "Vertigo". Now, that is insanity worth 100 times the price of admission.
"The Birds" is a nice, scary chiller where meaning means nothing. And nothing else.
