The short story "The Birds" was written by Daphné du Mauririer and filmed and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It has a very interesting and suspenseful plot. The short story is well written and the film well acted, the two are very similar. Although they have some differences, the film and the short story have the same atmosphere and theme. Would the differences between the film and the short story affect the suspenseful and scary plot? Alfred Hitchcock did an amazing job filming the movie and making it fit the short story. In the story as in the film, flocks of seagulls, robins and sparrows come together. This is very rare, because different species of birds never work together. Moreover, both the story and the film are in the same climate. It's cold and chilly; “The ground is frozen and it will be a dark winter.” The climate gives both versions of the story a strange or frightening feeling. In each version, the main character barricades the windows to protect himself from suicidal birds that try to break down the barriers in front of the windows. Anyone who thought the birds wouldn't attack is usually found dead with their eyes gouged out. Both the film and the story have pathetic endings. Although they are different endings, they are very similar in their crudeness and should have been revised with an improved, more conventional ending. Readers would like to know what happens to the characters and how or even if the conflict is resolved....
