The Birds

It was mentioned in class that the change from a male to a female character in the lead role may have had some significance when discussing the change from book to film. Along with this there were many other changes made from the time period, location, first attack by the birds and so on.

Thus my question is whether or not these changes had a huge impact on the overall story itself?
Did the story loose some of its meaning or get changed along the way with all of these differences?

In the end there is still confusion of the overall purpose of the birds in both the book and the movie. Needless to say with that much left to be desired by both portrayals of this story I personally think that maybe there wasn't that much of an impact made on the story itself with these changes because maybe the whole point was to keep the reader/ watcher guessing, wondering, making up conclusions in their own mind.
