Consistency of Hitchcock's film

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2017)

At first, this film didn't give me any shock, because characters merely talked each other and their speaking and subtitles speed was so fast that I couldn't understand substance in places. However, the scene suddenly began to change from halfway. A large number and many kinds of birds attacked on people. I think this film is a little different from other horror films, because even if some ghosts often appear, we might guess their mind by their background. However, in this film, the birds don't speak anything so we don't be able to find the reason why the birds attack people to the end. (But possibly, it'll be revenge on human or demand of releasing lovebird.) So this point is weirdness and frightens us. One of the theme of this film is change of relationship between Melanie and Lydia. Lydia felt suspicion about Melanie, because Lydia had strange feeling for his son. In this point incest like "Psycho" was described in "The Birds". I think there's consistency of theme of women in Hitchcock's film.
