I want a nicely packaged thriller

When I was a child, I saw Hitchcock in a magazine, and I heard that he was good at shooting suspense and horror subjects, and I also learned that he loved shooting suspense subjects because of an experience in his childhood (because of a note from his father, he was detained by the police for an afternoon, then A few hours is unbearable for a child).

"Lucky people are healed by childhood, and unfortunate people are healed by childhood." Hitchcock was protecting the frightened little boy at that time, and using film and television to redeem himself.

Someone asked Hitchcock on his birthday: What gift would you most like to receive? Hitchcock replied: I want a thriller in a nice package.

This film is a beautifully packaged thriller. Who would have imagined Norman's handsome appearance with such a morbid heart? When Marion's sister broke into the house, there was a deep indentation on the bed. It was the indentation of the body of Norman's mother, who had been dead for 10 years. The indentation was pressed on the bed and in Norman's heart. From then on, he was no longer Full Norman, he became a half mother, and later a full mother. He kept suppressing his desires to the point of killing Marion.

At the beginning, I still felt bad for Norman. I thought he was sick because of her mother's control. Later, I realized that her mother was not a lunatic. When he gave Marion a charming smile, he could see that he was tempted.

I was very impressed with the scene transformation of "Bathroom Murder" and the discovery of the body by Marion's sister.

Hitchcock is good at pondering the suspense factor that is extremely scary, and I hope to have the opportunity to see more of his films, thanks to the Beijing Film Festival.

  • Highway Patrol officer: Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry.

    Marion Crane: [nervously] Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over.

    Marion Crane: Then I'm free to go?

    Highway Patrol officer: Is anything wrong?

    Marion Crane: Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?

    Highway Patrol officer: Frankly, yes.

    Marion Crane: Please... I'd like to go.

    Highway Patrol officer: Well, is there?
