I can't help but think of the evaluation in the film history textbook. Hitchcock used human psychology, and the suspenseful music gave people a hint of horror. The result was the opposite, and nothing happened.
But in fact, before the real horror arrives, this movie also has various music and atmosphere to set off.
The simple structure and story, the narrative is not complicated, and it revolves around a timeline, but it creates a terrifying atmosphere and a rich sense of picture. I feel that it is due to the language of the camera lens and the beauty, acting skills and music of the actors.
I personally find it interesting. First, when my sister was driving, the background sound explained what happened to the people around her after she left. The second is the handling of Norman and his sister when they were talking, thinking that something happened, but it turned out to be calm. Third, my sister died so easily...
The role of Norman really shows the thin sickness, vulnerability, and femininity of another character.
I feel that this film is breaking our stereotypes. Although it gives a lot of perspectives of God, it does not know the whole picture. The people in the film thought the tragedy was caused by money, but it was actually caused by a more profound growth experience. Both the sister and the detective thought that the old woman, as an insider, was a kind image, but she was actually the one who committed the crime. Both the sister and her boyfriend thought Norman was too boring to be the innkeeper, but he really missed it.
On the downside, after my sister died, my boyfriend was so calm... I don't know if it was a setting that I really didn't care about. A few minutes of explanation from a psychiatrist... Maybe because of the era, avant-garde stories still need to be explained directly.
There are also doubts. When Norman confronted the detective, he asked the detective if he wanted to buy a hotel, and he was not clear about his motive. Could it be that after the murderer sobered up, he rarely wanted to escape once? Maybe it's a chance for the Norman personality to overcome the old mother personality...
