The Birds

The birds is a suspense/horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1963. The main character is Melanie Daniels played by Tippi Hedren, who meets a guy she falls for in a bird shop. His name is Mitch Brenner played by Rod Taylor, he lives in Bodega Bay and after she finds out that he wanted to buy love-birds for his sister's birthday, Melanie sees it as a chance to get close to Mitch. She decides to order the love-birds for him and take them over to his house where his sister could find them and it would be a pleasant surprise that would put Melanie in a positive light in front of Mitch. However, what seemed like a perfect plan soon turns into a nightmare. The moment Melanie arrives in his home town, the birds begin to go crazy and start to attack humans. The rabid creatures are killing people and no one understands why.

Hitchcock wanted people to see the movie from the beginning to finish. No one was allowed to enter after the movie started in the cinema to ensure that everyone could get the full experience of it.

The film ends abruptly and we are left on a cliff hanger wondering what will happen to Melanie and Mitch's family we are . The film ending being "unfinished" allows space for a sequel and it means people will be more likely to watch the other part to see how the story plans out.
