Mirror image

The so-called shear is actually another form of merger.
Norman maintains his integrity through division. Marian's unpredictability also reflects the existence of fragments.

I think Hitchcock deliberately divided the setting into two areas: motel and mother's house,
which respectively represent Norman's two consciousnesses. In the group of shots where Marian took a bath, assembly cuttings, or combination shots, were also used.

The world has no unified reflection. It is composed of countless individual mirrors (the nature of each mirror is also different). The

audience's curiosity about Norman reflects the limitation of individual mirroring.

After seeing the car with Marian's corpse gradually sinking into the swamp, the money in the car wrapped in newspapers was also wrapped in the car shell and finally wrapped in viscous mud. Marian's psychology fell silent, because in Norman's mirror image, Marian's psychology was just a tiny point.
Norman's psychology has never been explored in the detective's mirror image.

    The originator of the fine film, although we have seen more complicated films such as "Fatal ID" and "Fight Club" in the follow-up, looking at such movies on the other hand, it will feel more old-fashioned and rough, and feel that the suspense is insufficient, and also very The ending is easy to guess. However, the so-called classic of the master is groundbreaking. The editing of 78 shots of naked women in the bathroom in 48 seconds is indeed worthy of introducing film teaching materials. In addition, it includes the sense of oppression and suspense brought by the use of telephoto lenses, as well as the narrative of parallel montage. The methods provided a very good film enlightenment to the filmmakers afterwards. Finally, I want to say that Janet Leigh, who plays the leading lady's sister, is really pretty.

    [A] Atmosphere creation, thriller soundtrack, and split personality were almost all created by a black-and-white film in 1960 and influenced almost all horror films in the next 50 years. The unique shooting technique, shot cut, excellent BGM, and the scary smile used by Kubrick's technique at the end of the film have completely established Hitchcock's status as a master.
