More or less seen some clues

Is Norman crazy? This is one of the questions I want to know the most during the entire movie watching process, but I didn't find a clear answer until the end of the movie...
Because I have seen the first one before, I always unconsciously bring myself into this movie when I watch it. Norman is still a double-personality setting that will reappear, so when the boy who went to the basement to steal sex with his girlfriend and Tommy who looked after the hotel was killed, I always thought it was Norman who fell ill again and killed them, but when the doctor Norman was taken aback when he told Norman that it was all revenge that Mary and her mother had planned. However, with the death of the heroine's mother, the mystery began to appear again. Who is the black hand of the frequent fighting in the dark basement? Even the appearance of Mrs. Spur in the end did not seem to be able to solve the mystery, chaos...
First of all, it can be judged from the film that Norman's dual personality has not been completely cured, and there have been recurrences in the film. Ministry, this time Norman's psychology is stronger. 22 years of treatment in prison allowed Norman to learn to struggle when he was on the verge of falling ill. Although he was still his real self most of the time, there were occasional moments when a second personality appeared, such as the night he and the heroine spent the night in the attic. Man is about to stab Mary with a sharp knife; when the doctor calls him from the hotel, Norman hallucinates as his mother, and no matter how much Mary calls him, Norman can't wake him up; and at the end of the film, Norman uses a shovel Killing his own mother, taking her back to the room where his mother had been living upstairs, and restarting the dialogue between the dual personalities; and the appearance of the follow-up sequels should be based on the fact that the Norman dual personality has not been cured Based on (guessing, the sequel hasn't watched yet...).
Second, about the real cause of death of the boy, Tommy, and Mary's mother in the film. 1. The boy must have been killed by Mary's mother, which is easy to infer from the film: on the one hand, the boy will not arouse the jealousy of Norman's mother, nor will it cause harm to Norman, so whether it is Norman's first Neither the dual personality nor Norman's biological mother had a reason to kill him, and the kind Mary would not kill him; on the other hand, after the police officer returned to the police station after investigating the cause of the boy's death, Mary's mother was already at the police station Waiting for him and claiming that the whole town knew that Norman had killed the boy and demanded his arrest (the officer countered her that the boy was not sure he was killed, so it can be inferred that the boy's death was actually known only to a few people) , if Mother Mary didn't kill her, how would she know?). 2. Tommy's death may be the result of Mary's mother or Norman's biological mother or Norman's second personality. Mary's mother's motive is that killing the boy did not lead to Norman's arrest, and the motive of the latter two is that Tom Mi caused trouble to his son, but who did it, there is a lot of suspense in the film. 3. I think the death of Mary's mother is very likely the work of Norman's biological mother, because this old lady secretly observed the 10086+ damage that Mary's mother brought to her son, so she killed her, plus her old age With limited physical strength, the old lady hid her directly in the basement instead of throwing her in the swamp behind the house (it can also be inferred that Mother Mary was not killed by Norman, otherwise her body would definitely be thrown into the swamp). 4. In the end, the death of the doctor and Mary is really full of artistic color. A series of coincidences have created a ridiculous cause of death, which is extremely artistic than life.
Finally, here are some of my personal thoughts while watching the movie. Time flies really fast. It has been decades since the first film of Psycho was filmed. All the original little fresh meats are no longer young, especially Mary's mother-Laila, the first film is really I thought she was very beautiful. In the second part, I thought that the role of Laila in the play had been replaced, but after finding out that she was still herself, I couldn't be more surprised... Secondly, don't go to unfamiliar places alone There are few places (such as basements, attics...) to meet strangers, maybe he is a mental patient and you lose your life because of this, life is always so fragile... and this film is really not a continuation , in the ups and downs of the plot, it is even better than the first one, but it may be precisely because of this that some audiences feel that this film is too fake, but isn't the film originally derived from life but higher than life.
Haha, a suspenseful movie that I like very much, and will continue to finish the next few.

Psycho II quotes

  • Lila Loomis: What about his victims? I have a petition here signed by 743 people against Norman Bates' release, including the relatives of the seven people he murdered.

    Judge: Madam, please sit down. This matter is being represented by the district attorney.

  • Lila Loomis: Don't you realize they're going to release a homicidal maniac.
