Some birds have the potential to exterminate the entire human race.

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2008)

Birds are not different from human beings.There are as keen on wrecking irreparable damage on people whom they despise as human beings have always made a point to damage minds and souls of other human beings.This is the fundamental concept of "The Birds" directed by Alfred Hitchcock.This idea might not appear to be rational to all those who think that birds are innocent souls flying high in mighty sky.If they are really innocent as human beings make them to appear, why is it that not even a single bird other than a parrot is capable of emoting human sentiments.The Birds has been hailed as a horror film as it creates a painful feeling in the minds of people.It is amazing that the feeling of horror is conveyed using real birds.This demonstrates how Mr.Hitchcock was ahead of his times in a world devoid of useless technology.It is such a wonder that ordinary looking birds have fooled devilish human beings who have always felt that birds are nothing but prosaic living organisms who never meant much to human beings.A word about Tippi Hedren.She is a joy to watch as she has been deftly directed by Alfred Hitchcock who has helped her to get over her "maimed lamb" persona which was created when she appeared in their previous joint venture "Marnie".
