In fact, I guessed at the beginning that Norman was the murderer, and his mother was not mentally ill, he was. When he killed, he dressed up as his mother. In fact, his mother was made into a mummy after being killed by him. There are many bird specimens in his room. The film has long hinted that he has this technique. Why can I guess, mainly because the actor's acting skills are so good, it can be seen at a glance that he is mentally ill.
Although the suspense is easy to crack, it is...

As a suspense film from 60 years ago, although it is black and white, it does not affect its texture at all. A small story, the plot is also very simple, there is not even a real protagonist, it is just an ordinary story, everything happens very naturally, the clips of the movie are a bit scary, and they advance with suspense, and the mystery is not solved until the end.
As a master of suspense, Hitchcock's films are all based on life, from the perspective of ordinary people, and tell...

The charm of black and white light and shadow
This film is one of Hitchcock's classic works. The teacher played one of them in the class, and we were deeply touched. This is an early horror thriller. In the film, the bathroom kills people, the schizophrenic patient smiles, and finally Stopping abruptly with a weird smile, thinking about the effect of fear, in the early film era, these plots and these shooting techniques were very good examples. It is the first time to seriously watch a black and white movie with a sense of...

The pen of God! There's a reason why movies from half a century ago can be so fascinating! The whole movie has been in a panic, and Anthony's acting skills are amazing! Hitchcock is Hitchcock enough to be placed on the first page of film history...

Nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 33rd Academy Awards, he stole her body and even treated it like a living person. So he started thinking and speaking for her, giving her half his life so she could speak. Sometimes he might play two people in a conversation at the same time, other times, the mother takes the whole role. He was never a complete Norman, but he was often a complete mother. split...

It is indeed a textbook-like work. Many movies have been influenced by this film, but it is undeniable that from one story to another, this kind of control is not something ordinary movies...

It marked the end of the classic era of horror and the beginning of modern horror. The application of montage, mise-en-scene, rhythm, and sound is a textbook. In a bathroom murder scene, as many as 78 close-up and close-up shots of knives, human bodies, spray heads, bathtubs, etc. were assembled in 45 seconds, and the shots were switched quickly and dazzlingly, creating a thrilling visual impact. The process and the ending have always been unexpected, and Norman Bates has left people with...
Sheriff Al Chambers: Your detective told you he couldn't come right back because he was goin' to question Norman Bates' mother. Right?
Lila Crane: Yes.
Sheriff Al Chambers: Norman Bates' mother has been dead and buried in Greenlawn Cenetery for the past ten years!
Eliza Chambers: I helped Norman pick out the dress she was buried in. Periwinkle blue.
Sheriff Al Chambers: 'Tain't only local history, Sam. It's the only case of murder and suicide on Fairvale ledgers.
Norman Bates: [voice-over] Now mother, I'm going to uh, bring something up...
Norma Bates: [voice-over] Haha... I am sorry, boy, but you do manage to look ludicrous when you give me orders.
Norman Bates: [voice-over] Please, mother.
Norma Bates: [voice-over] No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar! Ha! You think I'm fruity, huh? I'm staying right here. This is my room and no one will drag me out of it, least of all my big, bold son!
Norman Bates: [voice-over] They'll come now, mother! He came after the girl, and now someone will come after him. Please mother, it's just for a few days, just for a few days so they won't find you!
Norma Bates: [voice-over] "Just for a few days"? In that dark, dank fruit cellar? No! You hid me there once, boy, and you'll not do it again, not ever again; now get out! I told you to get out, boy.
Norman Bates: [voice-over] I'll carry you, mother.
Norma Bates: [voice-over] Norman! What do you think you're doing? Don't you touch me, don't! NORMAN! Put me down, put me down, I can walk on my own...
Sam Loomis: You mean the old woman I saw tonight wasn't Mrs. Bates?
Sheriff Al Chambers: Now wait a minute, Sam, are you *sure* you saw an old woman?
Sam Loomis: Yes! In the house behind the motel! I called and I pounded, but she just ignored me!
Sheriff Al Chambers: You mean to tell me you saw Norman Bates' mother?
Lila Crane: It had to be - because Arbogast said so too. And the young man wouldn't let him see her because she was too ill.
Sheriff Al Chambers: Well, if the woman up there is Mrs. Bates... who's that woman buried out in Greenlawn Cemetery?
