The Bird

. . .
First of all, setting of place is very different, which made Maurier to dislike the movie. In addition, in the story army takes on power, but in the movie, although we are not sure, it’s pretty clear that army did not move. Other thing that is different is that in the story, attack of birds occurs all over the country, but in the movie it only occurs in a small town. As you can see, my comparison paragraph is shorter than contrast one. In the story setting is in Cornwall, England, but in the movie, setting has been changed to small town just by San Francisco, USA. Then, character is very different too. I like both, the story and the movie. Another point, in the story, attack directly started form main characters’ house, but in the movie, first a man was killed from birds’ attack, then birds attack school. So as you can see above, there is a love in movie, but in the story there almost nothing about love. In the story, Maurier uses screaming of children, and in the movie Hitchcock uses attack on children too. In the story, Nat talks about birds that attacked his home to three people he knows, but none of them believes him. However when I finished reading the story, I completely separated story and movie in my mind. Annie Hayworth, a spinsterish school teacher still bitter and obsessed long after Mitch has spurned her affections, and finally, the frigid and vain Melanie Daniels, who begins a flirtation with Mitch that seems destined for the same failure that beset Annie Hayworth’s scuttled relationship. Those are major points of contrast I have noticed between the story and the movie. When I read the story, I had already watched the movie, and I didn’t expect many contrasts between the story and the movie.
