The Girl (2012 TV film)

Okay, kiddo, so there's this movie called "The Girl" that came out in 2012. It's about a famous director named Alfred Hitchcock who makes scary movies.

One day, he meets a girl named Tippi Hedren who he thinks would be great to star in his next movie, called "The Birds." But even though Tippi is excited about the opportunity, Alfred starts to act really weird and mean towards her.

He starts telling her what to wear and how to act all the time, and he even sets up a fake bird attack on set that really scares her. Tippi realizes that Alfred is obsessed with her and doesn't know how to act around her without being controlling.

Eventually, Tippi stands up to Alfred and tells him that she doesn't want to work with him anymore. The movie ends with Tippi walking away from Alfred, but still being scared that he might come after her.

So, basically, "The Girl" is a movie about a famous director who is creepy and controlling towards a young actress, and how she finds the strength to stand up to him and say no.
