Фильм, ставший классикой в своем жанре, рассказывает историю необъяснимого нападения стаи птиц на жителей маленького городка. Понятие "саспенс" Хичкок умел воплощать мастерски, от его фильмов у зрителя возникает томительное ощущение нарастающей тревоги, подсознательного страха. Одним словом - основоположник.
Следующий после "Психоза" фильм Хичкока стал еще одним основополагающим добавлением к жанру ужасов и еще более раскрыл темные одержимости мастера.
Действие фильма, поставленного по мотивам рассказа Дафни Ду Морье, разворачивается в Бодега-Бэй и отслеживает жизнь скучающей, испорченной светской дамы Мелани Дэниэлс (Хедрен), заинтересовавшейся в романтическом плане красавцем-юристом Митчем Бреннером (Тэйлор). Со временем вырисовывается напряжение между Мелани, школьной учительницей Энни Хэйуорт, бывшей подружкой Митча (Плешетт) и доминирующей матерью Митча (Тэнди). Эмоциональное взаимодействие между персонажами прерывается (и отражается в) внезапным и необъяснимым нападением тысяч птиц в этом районе.
Восхваляемый как один из шедевров Хичкока и критикуемый другими, фильм "Птицы" определенно является одной из наиболее сложных и интереснейших работ режиссера. О нем были уже написаны тома; каждый автор разбирал фильм сцену за сценой для того, чтобы доказать свою конкретную теорию - по большей части психоаналитического характера. Как бы то ни было, даже те зрители, которым надоедало следить за медленно нагнетающимся саспенсом с некоторыми провалами в драматургии, не могли отрицать ужасающей мощи многих завораживающих образов картины: кадр снятый как бы глазом птицы и охватывающий Бодега Бэй; птицы, медленно собирающиеся на детской площадке; нападение на детский день рождения; Мелани, попавшая в ловушку на чердаке; и последний двусмысленный кадр, в котором потерпевшие поражение люди покидают Бодега Бэй, а тысячи празднующих победу птиц наблюдают за ними с земли.

Many have mental illnesses. Others sleep on the streets by choice â even if they would qualify to sleep inside a shelter for a night. They generally want to be left alone and ask for help only when ready.
Separately, floods and mudslides have already devastated swathes of the southwest Sichuan province. Torrential rain battered the area for several days. Near the city of Deyang a factory collapsed with five workers reported to be missing.
As part of Airbus's sales pitch, the aircraft maker invited Ueki to its base in the French city of Toulouse and gave the former pilot - who spent his flying career on Boeings - a chance to try out one of its A380 simulators.
Second, rising yields will cap stock markets' gains, whichin turn may encourage higher savings rates. Higher savings,while a good idea and much needed in the long term, will slowgrowth now. Finally, higher yields will hurt exports, both byhitting growth in emerging markets and by driving the dollarhigher, making U.S. products less attractive.
Bats and dolphins, despite their distance on the evolutionary tree of life, both possess an uncommon ability among mammals: echolocation. Now, scientists have discovered that the similarities go down to the genetic level as well as the physical -- Â bats and dolphins independently underwent many of the same genetic changes that resulted in their special biological sonar systems.
While it's normal to be nervous about stocks, don'toverindulge in your fears and retreat from them entirely. Evenwith a sluggish rebound, soaring corporate profits, lowinflation, rising home sales and continued low interest ratesare all positive drivers for the U.S. economy.
“I’ve been in and out since I’ve been 15 and this is the first time I’ve done something like this. I can connect spiritually with something as simple as garden. … To me that was different,” said Rasheed, who has already served two years and has six years left on his term.
“I’m hoping he’s working to find a compromise and get back to the old idea that we should be working together and leaning towards the betterment of the public and not the betterment of individuals or certain groups, ” he said, noting that he voted for Matheson and adding that it is “disappointing to be walking around and seeing everything shut down.”
My head tells me that the SNP is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to centralising power. It faces massive budget cuts imposed by Westminster and a uniformly hostile media. It is a political miracle that the Nats won an outright Holyrood majority in 2011. Or that John Swinney has so finessed a declining budget that the SNP leads Labour by 40 per cent to 35 in the polls. Yet too often in history, revolutionaries have won their fight politically only to lose it morally. For centralism is a two-edged weapon. Yes, it can drive change. But centralisation of power can be addictive and result in bureaucratic conservatism, inhibiting all experiment and reform.
"Many people looked at the 5.2% expected coupon on the10-year bond and realized that this is a blue-chip borrowerthat's offering more than some double-B names," said MikeCollins senior portfolio investment manager at Prudential.
By 10:30 a.m., both World Trade Center towers had collapsed. Some 2,606 people, including more than 400 firefighters, police and medics, died in New York. All 246 passengers aboard the four planes died, and 125 were killed at the Pentagon. A total of 2,977 innocent people died, and all 19 hijackers, who America would soon learn were part of a twisted Al Qaeda plot, became martyrs to their warped cause.

“I’m not denying that there were fireworks between us, but at the same time there were lots of quiet times and walks together and going home for spaghetti hoops on toast. But that’s not very rock’n’roll, so people don’t talk about that side so much.”

"So many people were spending a lot of time on the essays and probably not as much time thinking about the other things, like their interviews or talking to their recommenders or even studying for the GMAT," says Soojin Kwon, the school's director of admissions.
I have mixed feelings still. On one hand, I don’t want a drop of MY capital anywhere near the National Organization for Marriage where Card is a board member and major contributor. But his hands aren’t the only hands upon Ender’s Game. Which…is exactly what the article highlights. So I’ve contributed nothing really.

I am prepared to admit that it is anachronistic that CBBC goes off air at the same time as CBeebies. No 12 year-old goes to bed at 7pm anymore and if they do peel themselves off the sofa at that time, they are highly likely to stumble over to another screen (laptop, PC, iPod, iPad et al) which can be much harder to extricate them from later in the evening. So I’m prepared to concede that the channel which brings us the incomparable Horrible Histories should transmit a little later. But not CBeebies. Please – not CBeebies!
The prime minister personally endorsed the bill to try to show his party was progressive, but that upset some Conservatives who said their Christian beliefs led them to oppose marriage other than between a man and a woman.
The trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty looks amazing. I love the visual effects, use of slow motion, and how colorful the film looks. I’m all in on Ben Stiller playing another lovable character.
The empathy and yawning link has previously been studied in chimpanzees, baboons and other primates. Human and animal studies have shown that when two subjects share a close social connection, contagious yawning is more frequent.
Large corporation CEOs are really apolitical and amoral. Their two key drivers are shareholder value and executive compensation. That’s it and nothing else. There is no less patriotic group in America than corporate CEOs. They would NEVER invest their cash hordes to help the country because that would run counter to those two key drivers. A lot of CEOs wear an American flag as a lapel pin but, trust me, that is just theater, just for show. As a retired telecommunications executive I know exactly what I am talking about here.

We never thought we'd covet the wardobe of a WAG quite as much as we do Abbey Crouch's. This girl has very good taste, a massive budget and a shopping habit to equal, well, us. But she's not like the other wives and girlfriends - no, Abbey is less about bling and more about seriously stylish picks from the best designers.
The Giants keep telling themselves that the NFC East is still up for grabs and that one victory will get them back into it. But even if 8-8 wins the division, it will take an 8-3 finish to get that done. There is no talking themselves into playing better. The longer this goes on, the less it seems to be about mental toughness than it is just a lack of talent. The Bears have come back to Earth after their 3-0 start and are an in a bad mood. Brandon Marshallâs postgame whining couldnât have helped matters, but the Giants are the kind of team they can get healthy against, especially if the turnover faucet stays on.
He subsequently lost most of those winnings at baccarat and dice games in three weeks, according to Tom Sexton, who publishes the online gambling magazine Poker News.

How in in the heck is 308,000 layoffs good news. Until the layoffs are 0 and the US starts adding 150,000 or more jobs this is not good news. Unemployment is going down because people are running out of unemployment and the states no longer count them. Most of these people will not work again. Homeless is up, people living on the street is up, people living with their parents or kids or friends is up. How is this good.
China refuses to stamp visas into the passport of people from disputed territories, but staples them in instead, a practice that infuriates India. At times, even Chinese companies, like China Southern Airlines involved in last Thursday's incident, reject such visas.

Significantly, the surveyors polled by RICS saw price growth across every region, not just the stronger market of London and around. Both the West Midlands and north-east England had seen their highest levels of interest amongst buyers for 14 years.
âWhile this is an unconfirmed rumor, it looks like thereâs a document in the wild that lists shipments of several Galaxy Note 3 models with screen sizes of 5.5, 5.7 and 5.99 inches,â says Android Authority. Indeed, as it is put by the tech blog, such a guess is easy because Samsung used to launch a phone for nearly every taste, and so there can be a Note 3 in all different screen sizes, aimed at diverse users.
The Saudi Arabian government posted $2 million bond in April, but Circuit Judge Michael Wagner said it didn't meet stipulations set by Wagner's predecessor, Jacqueline Cook. Wagner ordered Abid to remain in jail on no bond because he believes the Saudi is a flight risk or could be deported by the federal government if released.
"However, given the refusal of all offers of help that would be offered to any mother and the lack of serious concerns raised from any other source, there was limited involvement from statutory agencies."
He is well organised, has scored more than 9,000 runs in England and has an abundance of experience. Like most left-handers he is pretty good square of the wicket but vulnerable nicking off. His bat does not always come down at the right angle, creating opportunities to find the edge early on in his innings. I would say England will bowl orthodox to him. He has only played one Test, so knock him over early at Trent Bridge and it is only natural the gremlins will creep in. England will play the mental game with him. They will remind him he is 35 with only one Test cap. He might cop the odd earful.

Despite the good news, the world is not on track to reach the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to cut the 1990 child mortality rates by two-thirds by 2015. Unless the world more than quadruples the annual rate of reduction in child death, it won’t meet the MDG until 2028.
It is important to keep the Syrian situation in proper perspective. Until the beginning of the war, Syria had a relatively well-developed economy, a large middle class and a high-level, functioning health care system. But with the kind of tragic irony that only war can produce, these factors have been perverted into one of the biggest humanitarian liabilities facing Syria today.
Activist investor Carl Icahn, who has amassed an 8.7 percent stake in Dell and is leading a charge with Southeastern Asset Management Inc against the buyout with an offer of their own, wrote in a letter to Dell shareholders on Wednesday it was time "to let the proposed freeze-out merger die".
Meanwhile, Mrs Merkel’s coalition ally, the Free Democrats, registered only 5 per cent - exactly the crucial threshold needed to win seats in the Bundestag. If this party falls below this level and suffers elimination, this would also deprive the Chancellor of her preferred coalition partner. She could then be forced to seek a “grand coalition” with the SPD - an option favoured by 26 per cent of German voters. However, experts agree that whatever the shape of the next coalition, Mrs Merkel is overwhelmingly likely to stay as Chancellor.

"Even if this proves to be the case, bats are unlikely to be the source of the continuing Mers outbreaks. Humans and bats just don't interact very much. It's much more likely that an intermediate animal is involved - and finding out what this animal is is key if we are to eradicate this virus before it becomes a bigger problem."

Paul is still that excellent capricious youth I knew in college. As proof that he’s lost nothing of his originality, I need only tell you that no sooner had he got here than he was talking of going back to Aix, after struggling for three years to make the journey and seemingly unbothered. With a character like that, in the face of such unexpected and unreasonable changes of behaviour, I admit that I hold my tongue and rein in my logic. Convincing Cézanne of something is like persuading the towers of Notre Dame to execute a quadrille. […]
