    I think this was alluded to in your analysis, but I particularly favour the theory that the birds are a projection of the mother's anxiety when another female approaches Mitch's affections. (So, I guess this would come under the Oedipal theory). By the end of the film Lydia is more at peace with Melanie's presence, but there may still be a residual tension, hence the birds more subdued nature.

    Could you imagine if the rolls of Melanie and Mitch were reversed ! All the troubles she went through to find his address through his license plate number and go to his home and sneak into the house ! This would just be a stalker film !

    Extremely interesting thoughts, Sir. I think what you have here is a homily on this film as found object. You surely don't believe Hitchcock was making such statements through The Birds -- or anything else philosophical? If you do, great, and who can say you're wrong.

    The reasons why the birds attack bodega bay because they Began to rise up against the humans for punishing for taking nature for granted.

    I think its the love birds, they're the cause and curse of the birds attacking. Because notice after Melanie delivers the love birds to Mitch's house, a flock of seagulls start coming in front of the house. They hated seeing the love birds been captive in a cage and melaine holding them. Also notice that single seagull attacking her. It was the birds' revenge on melanie and all of bodgea bay because they think that humans like melaine take captive of birds. Also definitely notice why the birds killed that farmer Dan fawsett, because he has chickens and he kills, cooks and eats chickens. Only three species of birds attack Crows, Gulls, Sparrows

      Absolutely I concur... I had the same theory 30 years ago when I watched it

    outstanding analysis Wolfgang.
    great insights into a classic.
    I'd always read it as an allegory of the destructive nature of the feminine, but you've illuminated many more possibilities

    One of the best and deepest film analysis ever. Good job Wolfgang!

    Man merkt, dass du an der englischen Aussprache gefeilt hast. 👍🏻
    Verglichen mit den ersten Videos hört man den deutschen Akzent nicht mehr so gewaltig raus.

      Ist vermutlich einfach Übungssache. Ich arbeite im Ausland und mich hat immer mein starker deutscher Akzent gestört. Daraufhin habe ich jeden Abend englische Bücher laut gelesen und dabei besonders auf die Aussprache geachtet. Mittlerweile habe ich zwar noch einen Akzent, aber den kann man kaum noch als deutsch identifizieren

      ich dachte, das macht er extra, um wie Werner Herzog zu klingen?

    I'm confused and it doesn't take much now. You said two sparrows? I don't know What kind of a bird love birds are but I do not think there's sparrows?
