What class and mastery Hitchcock displays in giving you the full picture of a film’s concept—and in the process, immersing you in his unique style. He doesn’t give anything away; he interacts with you, speaking to you on a first-name basis to put you at ease and break down that barrier that freezes the viewer when they don’t yet feel comfortable or familiar with something.... He achieves all of this in a simple trailer while chatting about Birds 🐦⬛🐦⬛
I’m watching it six decades after its release; it’s clear that many things already influence and “contaminate” me—like zombies, which have become a whole niche in the world of cinema—but Hitchcock, with his subtlety and elegance, manages to transport me to his realm, to his era, to those phones with a dial to make calls.... This isn’t an ordinary film; it’s more like a movie with a “Silk Glove.”
Before I go on, my top recommendation—if the movie has already caught your attention—is to watch it and then check out the trailer. That’s what I did, and boy, was it a truly positive and unforgettable experience as a movie lover 🤩🤩
I’m sharing the trailer with you—it’s by far the best trailer I’ve ever seen in my life. I was expecting to see scenes from the movie, but instead I saw Mr. Hitchcock on the screen as if it were a remote class or a video conference, haha 😅😅. I was surprised and, at the same time, felt like I was back in a classroom from my school days and listening to a great Teacher.
I watched the film first, and I was left with a big mystery: why do the birds behave the way they do in the story? The movie presents its hypotheses and theories, and through one of its characters, it makes a major effort to find logic in the situation.
In the end, I like that it easily avoids trying to find logic in the “witch hunt” typical of religions and beliefs in a higher power that explains everything and saves us from the Apocalypse.
The real answer to the Birds’ behavior is in the trailer 🐦⬛🐦⬛
Antes de continuar mi mayor recomendacion si ya te llamo la atencion el film, es que lo veas y luego chequees el Trailer, en mi caso fue asi y vaya que fue una experiencia muy positiva e inolvidable como cinefilo 🤩🤩
Les comparto el Trailer, es de lejos el mejor Trailer que he visto en mi existencia. Me esperaba ver escenas de la pelicula pero en cambio vi al Sr Hitchcock en la oantalla como si de una clase por distancia o video conferencia se tratara jaja 😅😅, me senti sorprendido y a la vez como si estuviera en una clase de cuando estaba en la escuela escuchando a un gran profesor.
Vi el film primero y me quedo una gran incognita, por que las Aves se comportan de la forma que lo hacen en la historia, la pelicula plantea sus hipotesis, teorias que a traves de uno de sus personajes se hace el mayor esfuerzo por buscar logica a la situacion.
A la final me agrada que facilmente se oasa de tratar de buscar la logica a La Cazeria de Brujas tipica de las religiones y creencias en un ser superior que lo explique todo y nos salve del Apocalipsis.
La Repuesta real de ese comportamiento de Las Aves esta en el Trailer 🐦⬛🐦⬛
The reason the terror in this film feels spontaneous and natural is that it takes a significant amount of screen time to build it up through very everyday situations—even lighthearted and comical ones—that are executed very well.
“The Conquest,” “The Courtship,” and “The Two Lovers” serve as the bridge connecting the mundane aspects of daily life with the film’s winged terror.
If I have one criticism, it’s that Hitchcock is, I think, too subtle with his horror—which is fine—but there are two scenes where at least one of them practically screams for a more visceral approach, to show just how lethal and menacing these Birds can be. I saw the bodies, but I wanted to see how those bodies—or at least one of them—ended up that way 🫤🫤
Tippi Hedren mesmerizes with her elegant and refined beauty; Hitchcock knows this and captures some camera shots that, in my case, I had to rewatch again and again because I loved her expressions so much 😍😍
Both in the everyday, natural moments and in the traumatic climax involving the protagonist and the birds 🐦⬛🐦⬛
La razon de ser de que El Terror de esta pelicula es espontaneo y natural es porque toma un largo tiempo de metraje para establecerlo a traves de situaciones muy cotidianas, hasta ligeras y comicas muy bien hechas.
La Conquista, El Cortejo, Los Dos Amantes son el puente que unen lo cotidiano de un dia a dia con el Terror Alado de la pelicula.
Si tengo una critica, Hitchcock pienso es sutil con su Terror y esta bien pero hay dos escenas donde al menos una de ellas pide a gritos ser mas visceral, mostrar todo lo letal y turbias que pueden ser estas aves, vi los cuerpos pero como quise ver el como se llego al desenlace de esos cuerpos o al menos uno de ellos.
Tippi Hedren hipnotiza con su Belleza Elegante y Refinada, Hitchcok lo sabe y hace unas tomas de camara que en mi caso tuve que volverlas a ver una y otra vez porque las expresiones de ella me gustaron mucho 😍😍
Tanto en los momentos cotidianos y naturales asi como en el ClimaX Traumatico de la protagonista y los Pajaros 🐦⬛🐦⬛
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
