In 1952, Mrs. Daphapne du Maurier wrote a short story called "bird". Morrill was born in London in 1907 in England. One day, when she walked to her house on Mena Billy Burton Farm, the idea of ​​this famous story came to her side. She saw farmers doing busy agriculture, and the seagull was diving and he was turning on. She came up with the idea that the bird became hostile and attacked him. Then in 1963 Alfred Hitchcock supervised the movie "Birds" in Santa Cruz, California in 1961 based on Morrill's story and bird attacks. Alfred Hitchcock, known as "master of suspense", was born in England in Leydenstone in 1899. In 1940, Morrill's "REBECCA" (1938) was also filmed by Alfred Hitchcock. A nightmaresy attraction attracted Hitchcock, and it changed it to a famous movie. Daphne does not particularly like translating Cornwall's small fields and stone fences into American towns.

Alfred Hitchcock and Daphne du Maurier have a story called The Birds. Both stories have a common name, but they are completely different. One is Daphne du Maurier's short story about men, Nat and his family, and birds attacked English. Another movie about women, Melanie Daniel and Men, Mickey Brenham and his family lives in California and is also attacked by birds. The reason why Alfred Hitchcock changed its original position is that Dumieria's version felt claustrophobia and the version of Alfred Hitchcock made me feel like I opened people. In the Hitchcock version, the horrible part is unexpected and the horrifying part of the short story is sad; California is always considered to be sunny, and Britain is considered a dark place

Alfred Hitchcock is best known for the work of The Birds (1963) by Daphne Du Maurier, but is also responsible for displaying the author Rebecca (1940) and the hotel in Jamaica on the screen. The similarity between Hitchcock and Dumorie is a suspicion and mystery preference. Therefore it is natural that he will adapt to her work frequently. In the plot of the movie, the young Maureen O'Hara who came to a hotel in Jamaica in Cornwall from Ireland in the early 19th century stayed with my aunt and uncle even after my parents died. . I rarely know her uncle Jos (Lesley Banks) is the leader of the "destroyeres" group. Wreckers are particularly cruel offenders - hide coastal warning signs, invite boats to rocks, kill surviving crews, and steal items and sell them. Here, the gang is using the hotel of Jamaica as a base for operation.
