Mr. Fizterra would like to say a few words to you

The ingenuity of Hitchcock’s promotion of his lecture The Birds (1963) lies in the interpellation of the viewer's consciousness and a very savvy psychological entrapment via a monologue that, in all its simplicity and strangeness, awakens the sensibilities of the spectator. What can be interpreted as cinematic subjection instigated by the most primitive modality of language, sheer discourse bounded by irony and historicism, results in a clever ingenious form to inculcate the viewer with a brief discourse of contextual realism, along with a dose of historic materialism. Therefore, in doing a self referential approach, Hitchcock’s gesture and hospitality leaves the spectator with the Will of his own imagination to conceptualize the images and plot that might give configuration to the forthcoming feature. Succinctly, it summons the spectator to conceive the dialectics between Man and Animal, “about the birds and their age long relationship with Man”. This effect is truly remarkable as it is a testament to cinematic experience par excellence.
