The Birds

What Hitchcock does in most of his films which I love is he takes something we do and see in an average every day life and turns it into something terrifying.  He made people scared to take showers, made you think twice about your neighbors, and think what if there were murderers at your dinner party hiding a body in a chest.  The Birds is no different.  The reason he gave no concluding explanation to why the birds viciously attacked people was he said that in giving a reason, he would be turning his film into science fiction.  This film is supposed to be very real and make you question what if something that seems harmless that is always around you suddenly became deadly.  Hitchcock wants the audience to consider that this could happen giving his film that frightening element, (or at least for back then, now its a little more laughable then scary).  Having very little music, the sound is extremely important.  The sounds of the birds needs to be realistic and give the audience chills.
