One of those beings is still alive, imprisoned on Xibalba, dreaming of its ultimate revenge on all that exists. A massive asteroid named Xibalba - the "Place of Fear" in Mayan mythology - is on collision course with the planet Earth and if that wasn't trouble enough, the asteroid has an enormous magical symbol carved into its side and is revealed to be a fragment of our solar system's lost fifth planet, Marduk, destroyed 65 million years ago at the end of an epic cosmic war between the inhabitants of Marduk and immensely-powerful, life-hating, extra-dimensional "gods". NAMELESS tells the story of a down-at-heel occult hustler known only as "Nameless" who is recruited by a consortium of billionaire futurists as part of a desperate mission to save the world. Moreover, this story was created when the dangerous eastern wind could symbolize the potential threat of the East to the USA. I believe that the written version is superior since it better conveys the idea of nature’s rebellion against humanity. Therefore, although both these versions are interesting, they are pretty different. In addition, du Maurier describes the situation where the seagulls’ punishment is directed at all city residents, while Hitchcock’s birds are more aimed at the main heroine. The film starts from the meeting in the pet shop, while the written version begins from the moment where Nat sees a lot of birds, “jackdaw and gull, mingled in strange partnership” (du Maurier 4). Finally, there are also less visible differences: the events of the printed story occur in London, and events of the movie – in California. Secondly, in The Birds, there are more storylines: the birds’ attacks, the line of relationship between Melanie and Mitch, Cathy’s party, and episodes with her teacher. For instance, the viewers can see Melanie Daniels and Mitch Brenner. Firstly, while the written version focuses only on the farmer Nat Hocken, the movie has a lot of heroes. Even though the film and story have the same name and base, which involves a narrative about people suffering from the birds’ attacks, many episodes make them different. |
