The Birds

The Birds is a 1963 thriller created by Alfred Hitchcock, in which it was loosely based on the book with the same title by Daphne du Maurier, in which was created in 1952. This was a debut for Tippi Hedren, along with that, it is also starred by Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette and Veronica Cartwright. What Hitchcock would've wanted from the film was to develop brand new characters from the original book and to also keep the unexpected bird attacks in the movie. It is a MacGuffin, it mainly helps the story progresses, it is a major plot device, it conveys little to no narrative needed to explain it.

The main external threat of the whole movie is nature, mainly, about birds, animals in which look like they have been tormented for far too long and that they have wanted to get their revenge on people who would've wanted to kill them and use them or consume them. In the main segment, there is nowhere to hide, no matter where you are, they can come from anywhere, from the chimney, the windows.

There are fast paced segments within the film, such as when the students are running away from the birds, as it conveys that the students are running way from that certain danger in which may hurt them in the process. Another segment is when they are trying to defend their home from the birds once they are holed in their own home, it is a very frantic scene to try to block off every single pathway to avoid the birds from entering the home and endangering their own lives.
