Hitchcock's The Birds


Watched this again last night 


Tippi Hedren is stunning



It is hilarious in parts, and I'm not entirely sure how this was considered horrific since Birds seem like way less of a threat than more obvious predators such as clowns and politicians (no one would go see a film called The Politicians though would they?)


Hitchcock told her (Hedren)  they would use mechanical robotic birds, and on the first day of filming the scene of her in the attic, real birds were thrown at her face for hours at a time, it was a couple of days filming that scene because Hitchcock wanted the scene just right


It is swooping season in Canberra, so this is no laughing matter.


I am not a Barbie fan, but in this case, this is amazing, The Birds Barbie is wicked as, even her little suit is perfect!! Fan girl moment!


This is a seriously great costume idea, look how realistic those birds are! But in all seriousness, that would win a best costume if i were judging

Studied alot of Hitchcock in school. So i will save the lesson and hope that you all enjoy old films as much as i do 
This film even has a fundy whackjob in it, my favourite!
