‪LES OISEAUX - Alfred Hitchcock (1963) -★★★★
---
Oiseaux hostiles en miroir d'1 ambiguïté familiale. Les inséparables sont-ils une clé symbolique ? Des scènes au montage anthologique qui donnent le frisson.

Throwback Sunday?

The Birds were a collaboration between Per Gisle Galåen (Origami Arktika, DEL, etc.) and Cotton Casino (beer, cigarette, synthesizer and vocals in Acid Mothers Temple before, etc.).

This CDr was sold during their European tour in 2003. A mix between guitar skronk noise rock, ethereal synth, and even a pop song. For a tour CDr I find this surprisingly good.

Standing tall in cinematic history—the iconic church from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds in Bodega Bay. Still as hauntingly beautiful as the day it appeared on screen.

Sun #THEATRE: #AncientGreece x #Hitchcock x #60sRock - “Attack of the Byrds! a verse play by Gary Duehr adapted from “The Birds” by Aristophanes, will be presented as a reading on Sunday, August 10, from 3-4:30.
The reading is free and open to the public. The reading features original songs by Jane Burgess Harcourt, sung by Suzanne Boucher and accompanied by Peter Hoffman on guitar. This version mashes up the classic #Greek comedy with “The #Birds” by Hitchcock and songs inspired by the ’60s band the #Byrds. In rhymed #tetrameter couplets, the brisk verse punches up its wordplay. This adaptation uses the masks and puppets of a traveling theater troupe to tell the fantasy infused with political satire.” https://artsathearmory.org/events/attack-of-the-byrds/ #Aristophanes #AncientGreek #ClassicalStudies #Comedy #BostonTheatre #TheBirds #TheByrds

"I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.”

The Trouble with Harry’s grammar

Alfred Hitchcock’s comedy-thriller The Trouble with Harry (1955), amidst all its talk of murder and romance, has a fun little exchange of sociolinguistic interest between John Forsythe (‘Sam Marlowe’) and Edmund Gwenn (‘Capt. Albert Wiles’):

Marlowe’s correction is notable for being relatively polite. Those who correct others’ speech uninvited often do so in a rude and judgemental way. Marlowe corrects Wiles gently and off-handedly, as though automatically correcting a child. Indeed, Wiles doesn’t even notice and reacts as if Marlowe had merely echoed him. For good measure he adds another nonstandard usage: past tense say for said.

That Miles doesn’t pick up on the prescriptive nudge also chimes with what happens when children have their speech corrected – they tend to repeat what they said rather than immediately adopt the ‘proper’ form. Abby Kaplan, in her excellent book about language myths, Women Talk More than Men, reviews the research and concludes:

Some parents tend to repeat or expand on their children’s utterances, but it is unclear whether children actually use this kind of feedback to correct their own speech. Since there are societies in which this kind of interaction is rare, it is unlikely that repetitions and expansions are absolutely necessary for language acquisition.

Of course, Captain Wiles has already fully acquired his language: it’s just that the variety or dialect he uses differs in some respects from standardized English, prompting Marlowe’s useless intervention.

The script for The Trouble with Harry was written by John Michael Hayes. I don’t know if the same exchange appears in the source novel by Jack Trevor Story, but Hitchcock obviously liked it. He featured another linguistic allusion, to Alfred Korzybski and his General Semantics, in The Birds:

Hitchcock’s interest in usage also manifests in a letter he wrote to Ernest Lehman, writer of North by Northwest, in which he wondered, in a parenthetical aside, if his use of while should be whilst. I covered the whilst, amongst, amidst issue in a previous post.
