An element that is often used in suspense and horror films is multiple personalities, which are not uncommon. However, this "Psycho", as the originator of schizophrenia, has been imitated and paid tribute to by later generations, but it has never been surpassed in the schizophrenic horror films I have seen. I don't think if I saw this type of movie for the first time, I wouldn't have guessed the ins and outs of Manlu after she was killed, which is halfway through the movie. But even though I guessed why, the plot of the movie surprised me. Different from simple personality split movies, the multiple personalities of "Psycho" are very rich, allowing the audience to recall the seamless switching between the roles of "mother" and "son". The first half of the film was shot from the perspective of Man Lu, and the foundation is very full. The secret exchange of fragments of time, the love that cannot be fulfilled because of money, the touch and yearning for the troubles that the rich spend to buy - Huanhuan's inducement makes her take the money as her own. After that, she fled in a hurry, and she was at a loss when the police watched, and she checked herself again and again. While the voiceover surrounds, the anger of the boss and the client, and Manlu thinks of these more determined escapes. Man Road came to the Bates Hotel, a simple motel in a glance. And the boss Norman Bates lives with his "mother" in the high-rise building behind - quite Gothic style, the silhouette under the lightning is more and more towering, Norman's simple and kind image seems to be oppressed by his mother and high-rise buildings . The beautiful tenants and the attentive innkeepers who arrive on a rainy night are thought provoking. Norman Bates is aggressive with our heroine, but the old woman's swearing comes from the high-rise. Norman "escaped" from the high-rise building, and Manlu obviously had a problem with the image of the old woman - no one likes to hear such ugly words, and he also gave birth to sympathy for the seemingly oppressed Norman. Dinner took place in a house full of stuffed birds. Created an eerie atmosphere. And the scene here is directly related to the ending: for Norman, the bird specimen is like his beloved mother, weak in appearance, and in the "son" will not hurt anyone. And what the audience and our heroine see is a sinister and weird image. And through the later plots, we also know that Norman saved his dead mother like making a specimen to dress up the terrifying skeleton. In the conversation, Manlu was very comfortable based on his favorable impression of Norman's image, and was in a kind suggestion, advising him to stay away from his mother-here, Norman was enraged by Manlu's suggestion, and his body became swaying, Extremely awkward. On the one hand, Norman loves his mother deeply, and someone suggested that she should be sent to the insane asylum; on the other hand, we also know from the later ending that Norman has two personalities of mother and son, that is, Saying that two personalities exist in the body at the same time, then the "mother" must have heard it too: "This damn woman seduces my son and asks him to send me to an insane asylum". Norman's face began to show sullenness, but he began to suppress his other side because of Manlu's goodwill and the gentle image of "son". Anger made his body stand up several times, and restraint and goodwill made him lean back a few times like a chair to show his generosity. After the conversation, Man Lu also suddenly looked away, letting go of the nervousness and guilt he had previously driven while driving. For the self who is about to atone for the sins, he is completely relieved, and he enjoys the warm water shower arbitrarily. At this moment, a staggering old woman lifted the shower curtain and stabbed straight at Manlu. This is the first horror scene in this film that directly hits the audience. It is not bloody, but it really makes people outside the screen feel the struggle and fear of the heroine - the swinging scene, the knife that stabs with a clear rhythm, Man Lu's hand couldn't control the murderer's hand, the exposed body, gradually unable to support Man Lu - his legs slumped in the bathtub, his head fell to the ground - a close-up of his face, very strange, you just It can be logically distinguished that the drops closest to the corner of the eyes are tears of pain, unwillingness, and regret, while the others are shower water. As Norman rinsed off the blood, Manlu and the $40,000 that cost her her life were pushed into the swamp with the car—the top of the car stuck halfway, and didn't seem to want to disappear "smoothly" like this. But when she sinks, you breathe a sigh of relief. And the same is true of the detective's death. He just got a glimpse of the case and entered the high-rise building. The room on the left is a blind spot for perspective. The "Old Lady" stabbed with the dazzling knife, screamed, rolled downstairs, and continued to stab, screaming, the silhouette of the knife, the rapid soundtrack - without breathing. The suspenseful fog unfolded again in the dictation of the deputy sheriff, and ended in the near-miss investigation of Manlu's sister and her lover-Norman Bates killed her mother and her lover, and then indulged in the love of her mother. Nostalgia and attachment, from dressing up skeletons to self-play, to being completely alienated as a "mother" after experiencing this case, "using" her son's appearance, and giving off a creepy smile in the monologue. The film ends here, this is the image of his mother we now see through Norman, fierce and crazy, who controls the personality of his son, does not allow other women in his world, hates Norman, demeans and Possessive. But the real Mrs. Bates was made into a "specimen" in the fruit cellar, and she could dress and play with her at will. It was the other way around - she was poisoned by Norman, she was not allowed to have other men in her world, and she manipulated her body at will, and her split mother personality was also vicious. It is Norman's disgust for his mother that makes him differentiate the image of a mad woman, and his own possessiveness also expects his mother to control him as he controls his mother, and kill the women around him - a demeaning and deformed love. .
