This is the first Hitchcock movie I've ever seen.
This suspense master's thriller

is about a schizophrenic young man.

And use various film techniques to explain Freud's introduction to psychoanalysis and express his own understanding.

The protagonist in the film is schizophrenic because his mother and stepfather killed his mother and stepfather, but he is schizophrenic in order to eliminate his guilt in his heart, and plays the role of his mother. Every time he meets a woman of the right age, he imagines that his mother is very opposed to it. , and played the role of a mother who killed young and beautiful women. When he woke up, he thought it was his mother who did it, and out of "filial piety", he had to clean up the scene for his mother every time.

When he was finally arrested, he was still playing his own mother, that tangled look, that self-talking look (a schizophrenic self-reconstruction) that made him feel like he wasn't a well-received Tormented poor man.

I will not talk about the art of photography and picture here, but only talk about the psychological level.


One of the most touching is the teacher's words:


"The root of this kind of psychological problems and all kinds of entanglements is the narrowness of people. As the

saying goes, small success depends on wisdom, and great success depends on virtue.

The most selfish behavior of people is Do good deeds.

In fact, there is no perfect person in this world. You and I, everyone has some problems more or less.

Many people only understand their psychological surface, that is, the self-level. We usually look at a person, and often only look at To his/her ego level. And his id, not many people will understand. In fact, human self-cognition is very complex, and even the person himself cannot perceive and understand it well.



Some abnormal people, On the contrary, they are the most perfect and normal. Because they want to hide some psychological defects in themselves, they do not agree with themselves to some extent.

Those who don't seem normal to others can express their truest selves instead.

People are the most real by being an imperfect self. "

In fact, one's life is to pursue the self. In order to achieve the harmony of the id, superego and ego.

So face your own shortcomings and learn to tolerate others.

In the face of difficulties, we must be proactive, outgoing, and rebuild the mentality.


And people can realize their own imperfection and face difficulties without fear, that is the most courageous, true and regret-free life.


To shape a most authentic self is always something to be done in a lifetime.

    The works of the 1960s almost killed the same type of movies that are currently on the bad streets. However, to put it another way, maybe the people behind him imitated Hitchcock too much. Although limited by the times, many shots lacked the corresponding technology and skills. Ability, but still create new content under limited conditions, it is already great to be able to do this.

    #金马54# Except for the bathroom scene, this is the first time I've watched this classic and I don't know the plot. The process of looking up at the front row of the giant screen was so cool. It was controlled by Hitchcock's superb skills and waited for the suspense to be revealed. Several strange paragraphs The camera movement, especially the exposed psychopath's distorted jaw on the screen, is the most shocking, and the later Bell and Garfield are like him, the Bates Motel and the end scene. The grim face.
