Notes et avis

While Bodega Bay looks nothing like presented in the film, time and location stand-ins have changed in the last 50 years, the sheer excitement and "feeling" one gets from this movie is lasting. Melanie Daniels stalks her crush, but is attacked by a flock of birds. What ensues for the next few days is a town in terror, blaming her for the attacks and a love story that never really is fully explained. While the movie is left very open ended and does not have a happy ending in the slightest, the villain (the birds themselves) getting away with murder is why I love this movie. That and Tupsa - Tippi Hedren is the hottest thing ever.

I admit, the technique is cheesy, but I loved this movie! Esp. love the cameo of the author, speaking of birds in the restaurant, getting their revenge for us ruining the environment, very silent spring of her, meeting Hitchcock, alto' she had her own eerie streak. watch Don't Look Now. and one other, very Gothic. escapes me at the mo
