Another story line that runs parallel to the approaching fear.



Now, when I look back at the movie `` The Birds '', I notice an interesting structure. Although this film depicts a ``The Birds attack,'' it also contains ``another storyline'' that runs parallel to and intersects with it. The story is about the fate of love between two people who meet at a pet shop. A woman is attracted to this man and drives to the small town where he lives, carrying The Birds called "Love Bird" in her arms. A woman from the man's past lives in a nearby house, and even his elderly mother's jealousy can be clearly seen. It's not just a panic movie; it has a structure that resembles the ripples of human relationships.


In this respect, ``Signs'' has much in common. This is because, in parallel with the ``alien invasion,'' another main focus is the ``story of faith'' surrounding the main character, played by Mel Gibson.


The main character, having experienced the incredible sadness of losing his wife in the past, became a man who abandoned his faith and even denied the existence of God. The story of how he regains his faith once again is depicted along with this supernatural story.

According to Shyamalan, the film's title, ``Signs,'' has two meanings. One is a "premonition" that predicts an invasion from space, and the other is a "revelation" from God. It may sound formal to write about faith here, but the point is that this is a desperate story about a man who can no longer believe in anything and tries to believe in something again.
