When watching the movie, I suspect that when Marion suggests a place for Mrs. Bates, she's probably thinking of a nursing home or retirement community. People can get crazy as they get older. However, Norman looks at Marion and says, "You mean an institution?" The way he describes a mental hospital in grim detail while not even blinking at Marion suggests he's seen this before. Gives me the creeps every time I watch that.
Jessica Jayes That's exactly the impression I got too. I always thought Marion was suggesting a nursing home or something of the like, and Norman's reaction gives an interesting insight into how he perceives reality. Everyone's out to get him. He immediately assumes that she means a mental asylum, and the way he goes into detail about them suggests that he has had prior experiences involving them. Very well written film.
This was not mentioned in the video, but in the book Norman was briefly put in a mental hospital after he murdered his mother and her boyfriend. He had managed to successfully pass off his crime as a murder/suicide committed by his mom, but suffered severe shock. If I remember correctly, the authorities found him in a catatonic state. Norman was released after a month and then dug up his mother.
My mother let me see this when I was 7-8. Yea.... I didn't shower for like a month, and when I eventually did, I kept the curtain open the whole time staring at the door. Good times....
I’ve been watching Psycho every October and intermediately throughout the year for around five years now, and I finally got around to watching the entire Psycho franchise. After, I read the books. You cannot believe how hard it was to try and picture somebody other than Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. Honestly, so many people have oversimplified Norman’s story. I always felt like the three personalities were clear. Too many people think Norman is a ‘crazy transvestite’ because they heard the word at the end and couldn’t retain anything else from the movie.
it's shown in Bates Motel that Norman's psyche is really broken into the three personalities, but is in a sweet akward teenager kinda way, they really explain the character and his complex psyche
I kind of feel so bad for Norman. A man abused by his own mother and insanity caused by it. I would want to give him a hug as long as he doesn't stab me.
2:06 - The reason the character's name Mary Crane was changed to Marion is because there was an actual woman named Mary Crane living in Phoenix, Arizona - where the film is set in the opening scenes - at the time production began.
I never got that the bound volume contained pornography. They buried sex in such subtle innuendo back then that I completely missed it. I think I thought it was a diary or something. Dammit, now I have to watch the movie again.
Incas didn’t have ziggurats, they made their homes out of stone and thatched roofs. Also, they weren’t naked or wearing teeth necklace, they were familiar with gold and high level members would wear masks and jewelry out of gold
Humans at least us Americans hate being reminded how truly disgusting we are that's why married couples slept in two twin sized beds in television shows...
Just received my copy of the book today and finished it in one sitting. Highly recommend, Bloch is a great writer and he keeps the short book moving along at a pretty good clip. Every single line keeps you hooked, even knowing the twist, the prose is just that good.
Can you make "The silence of the lamb" what´s the difference? My Husband just saw it for the first time ever and really like it, I just watch it again with him and still amazed that is so good... :D Thanks!
They are very similar expect for part of Jame's back story and Hannibals appearance some of his dialogue and the Jack Crawford subplot I would like to see it though since the Hannibal books are my favorite.
mothafuckathomaselliot And its glorious that was my main problem with the movie Hannibal besides Julianne Moore but they still find because of his hand x-ray but most people have five fingers.
I would like to point out how heavily Norman is into psychology in the book. He even self-analyzes himself and comes quite close to diagnosing his own schizophrenia, but only the adult norman and little boy norman part of him. He also tries to talk to his mother about how he might have an Oedipus complex. Which she scolds him and calls him disgusting for it.
The comments are about a weird movie, taken from a weird teleplay, taken from a weird book, taken from an actual criminal case, of an actual psychopath's crimes. So, why wouldn't, at least, some of these comments be weird?!
Yeah, the first 25 minutes of the movie is basically a mini Hitchcock TM movie. All those little one-in-a-million bad luck moments that bite the immoral protagonist in the ass are a common theme in the standard Hitchcock movie, though they're normally spread out a little thinner, making them a bit more plausible. But it seems like Hitchcock specifically wanted to trick the audience into thinking they were in for more of the same old trademark Hitchcock shtick, before he pulled the rug out from under them. That meant having to rush to get his little standard mini-movie over and done with so he could interrupt it with the invention of the slasher flick. So, consequently he had to pile on a lot of those tension-building bad-luck "coincidences" in a row... almost to the point of absurdity.
I have heard that they put that long explanation of Norman's mental state at the end of the movie, because it was quite controverrial having a man dressed like a woman at that time. So they explained everything to state clearly that Norman was mentally ill.
Although this was very interesting - I wish it had less of the crude, silly 'pandering to younger audiences' kinda humor. The narrator doing the silly voices and some of the images used (which were quite random) were a bit unnecessary and took away from the overall quality of the video.
another curious fact is that Bloch was one of Lovecraft's proteges way back in the day... so one master of horror who educated another who created a psychopath who couldn't pick up a decapitated head
+CineFix Me too, because of the book :P I just thought it'd be interesting since you already did The Shining and the mini-series of It is very different from the book :3
For some reason, I also want Cinefix to talk "What's the Difference" between original films and remakes. A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Thing, The Fly, The Blob, etc.
The killer who inspired psycho is the same guy who was the inspiration for buffalo bill in silence of the lambs. Speaking of which, that would make a very good what's the difference episode.
I always thought it was a little bit excessive how many forced-coincidence moments Marion had on her way to the motel (to ratchet up the trademark Hitchcock tension extra fast), seeing her boss and running into the same cop twice. And the fact that the cop doesn't do more to check out this cartoonishly suspicious person is almost farcical. That cop would have to be like Chief Wiggum to shrug off such obvious warning signs.
Halloween is coming up. Do Whats the difference for Mary Shelly's Frankenstein vs The 1994 film with Robert Denerio or do Bram Stoker's Dracula, the Gary Oldman one
"you have got to flush your math women!, or else we will know you are smart!" i dont know why it makes me laugh my ass of so hard. the sexism back in the day 1950s was really similar.
Please make one on World War Z! The novel and the movie are so different. The novel could have been an epic TV series whereas the movie is just another generic zombie movie.
I forgot it was originally a book, and I prefer to stick with memories of movie version, which really creeped me out. Poor Janet Leigh, she revealed that she could never take showers after making that movie
Watched the original Psycho with my son when he was 10. The scene with Norman and Mary talking in the back office of the hotel had him freaked out. He literally asked me "Which ones the psycho?" Hicthcock really knew how to pluck at the primal fears of humans.

+BanditIncorporated BAM! YOU GOT NORMA'D!!
CineFix I did! Thankfully I haven't been decapitated, which I now know is a Normad thing. Thanx for the amazing vide, as always :D
I jumped out of my skin! Love your vids
BANDIT
Me too
who else was disturbed in some way when one character gets a knife stuck in her mouth
I know right!? That was Psycho II, it went from a mildly violent film, too... that!
My mother let me see this when I was 7-8. Yea.... I didn't shower for like a month, and when I eventually did, I kept the curtain open the whole time staring at the door. Good times....
I was much younger than that D:
If you kept the curtain open, did any water splash on the floor?
I do find it really interesting that Psycho was the first movie with a flushing toilet
Right, and "Leave It To Beaver" was the first TV series to show a part of a toilet bowl (the tank).
I’ve been watching Psycho every October and intermediately throughout the year for around five years now, and I finally got around to watching the entire Psycho franchise. After, I read the books. You cannot believe how hard it was to try and picture somebody other than Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates.

dude what?
What's The Difference:
A Clockwork Orange
In the book, Norman was a compulsive alcohol drinker. In the film, Norman is a compulsive candy muncher. Interesting.
I think it's linked to the eternal childhood that the movie is trying to portray
I kind of feel so bad for Norman. A man abused by his own mother and insanity caused by it. I would want to give him a hug as long as he doesn't stab me.
Boo Rhyne long as you're not a young hot girl he ain't stabbin u. Unless u mess with his mommy.
Boo Rhyne he’s a creep I don’t feel bad for him
Dammit I just realized that Andrew Garfield looks like Anthony Perkins
Lol same
Now THERE’S someone to cast Norman in the remake
@@KBGVideos1 Yup and considering that Garfield is a versatile actor, he could play the part perfectly.
@@EternalRoman I fully agree
@@EternalRoman In case they go book accurate, they can cast Joaquin Phoenix. Just my suggestion.
Book Norman Bates looks a lot like Pat from Super Best Friends Play.
please do Stephen king "IT"
2:06 - The reason the character's name Mary Crane was changed to Marion is because there was an actual woman named Mary Crane living in Phoenix, Arizona - where the film is set in the opening scenes - at the time production began.
BTW Sam Loomis is the doctor's name in Halloween.
What's the difference: The Silence of the Lambs I hope ya'll do it
The rare case when the movie is better than book.
What's the difference The Mist
Yes!!!
Yessssss!
I never got that the bound volume contained pornography. They buried sex in such subtle innuendo back then that I completely missed it. I think I thought it was a diary or something. Dammit, now I have to watch the movie again.
WalterLiddy yeah, there was trouble bc of a flushing toilet of all things 😂
Incas didn’t have ziggurats, they made their homes out of stone and thatched roofs. Also, they weren’t naked or wearing teeth necklace, they were familiar with gold and high level members would wear masks and jewelry out of gold
All south american civilizations are Aztecs for them
the skeleton face scared the crap out of me lol.....
Same😂
SAME I WAS TERRIFIED
After, when bates came down in the wig... That scared the crap out of me.... And i was 10!!!!
yeah the skeleton didn't get me but the music and norman entering with the knife did lmao
To think that showing a toilet was controversial in 1960.
A very different era. Cinefix has a video about movies during the Haye's Code era
Humans at least us Americans hate being reminded how truly disgusting we are that's why married couples slept in two twin sized beds in television shows...
Just received my copy of the book today and finished it in one sitting. Highly recommend, Bloch is a great writer and he keeps the short book moving along at a pretty good clip. Every single line keeps you hooked, even knowing the twist, the prose is just that good.
I think the book is underrated.
You should do the Hannibal Lecter novels.
multitudeofidols The TV series isn't based on the novels.
Can you make "The silence of the lamb" what´s the difference? My Husband just saw it for the first time ever and really like it, I just watch it again with him and still amazed that is so good... :D Thanks!
+alejandra reyes Nice one!
+CineFix YES please do silence of the lambs
They are very similar expect for part of Jame's back story and Hannibals appearance some of his dialogue and the Jack Crawford subplot I would like to see it though since the Hannibal books are my favorite.
The only real difference is that hannibal actually gets real facial surgery and that he has 2 middle fingers.
mothafuckathomaselliot And its glorious that was my main problem with the movie Hannibal besides Julianne Moore but they still find because of his hand x-ray but most people have five fingers.

$10 for a woman suit is a great deal. The amount of time and money I had to put into making my own almost wasn't worth it.
do a what's the difference of "John carpenter's the thing" and it's book counterpart "who goes there?"
I'm amazed at how many novels have a reference to someones love for reading books. It always seems like a standard part of any plot.
Well, normally writers put parts of themselves in their books, and normally writers love reading books, so there it is :)
2:16 Book about Incas but shows a Maya Pyramid.
they changed the name from Mary to Marion, obviously the most important of all changes
Suggestion: American Psycho - What´s the difference, also: thanks for the videos, they´re great.
If you need a Spoiler Alert for Psycho, I'm glad you're outta that 50 year coma. Time for Leg Day
6:57 Scared the fucking shit out of me!..
Why is this comment section so weird?
sorted by newest instead of most popular, someone wanted to censor unfavorable opinions :/

do murder on the orient express and Death on the Nile
Seconding! We need some Poirot!
thanks
It’s funny how similar Norman’s relationship with his mother was to Hitchcock’s relationship with HIS mother
Plot twist: Bates in the book was based on Hitchcock
I have heard that they put that long explanation of Norman's mental state at the end of the movie, because it was quite controverrial having a man dressed like a woman at that time. So they explained everything to state clearly that Norman was mentally ill.
The explanation in the movie is still mostly the same as the explanation at the end of the book, including a mention of tranvestism.
what a ridiculous statement from the New York Times about this film on it's release. that critic probably had a brief career.
no better than the crap they put out now!
@@Timic83tc you're a clueless idiot

man, that murderer does not *respek wahmen*
antibadism 4 respeckit
Y'all need to do The Exorcist
Having read The Exorcist, I think there's not a lot to pick apart. The movie is a very faithful adaptation.
Could you make the exorcist book vs the movie
Please make What's the difference between "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and the "Blade Runner".
Please Please Please
woman suit not included
Although this was very interesting - I wish it had less of the crude, silly 'pandering to younger audiences' kinda humor. The narrator doing the silly voices and some of the images used (which were quite random) were a bit unnecessary and took away from the overall quality of the video.
Thank you!! I totally agree with you
another curious fact is that Bloch was one of Lovecraft's proteges way back in the day... so one master of horror who educated another who created a psychopath who couldn't pick up a decapitated head
What's the difference: Scott pilgrim vs the world
Gein did make a woman suit. Not sure if it was because he wanted to BE his mother though...
*"You've gotta flush your math women! Otherwise we'll know you're smart!"*
LOL. Noted. Thanks for the tip. XD
I think I like movie Norman more, it's much more creepy for him to be a young handsome man and much more disarming
Heart of Darkness v. Apocalypse Now
Anyone a fan of Bates Motel?
me I love that show 👌👌👌
Scott pilgrim what's the difference.
"...because apparently Hitchcock has a shred of human decency!"
Tippi Hedren: X Doubt
Have you read/heard what Stanly Kubrick put Shelly Duvall thru while making THE SHINING? Hitchcock was a gentleman by contrast
What's the difference; Stephen King's 'It' :3

"It was the knife that a few seconds later cut off her scream, and her head." Bloch does not get much better than that.

In the novel, Marion Crane lives in Fort Worth, Texas, not San Antonio, Texas as this video mistakenly states
Clever using Norman saying “no not really... anyway”
I actually used this for a paper that I had write about this . And I got an A on it.
Please make one on World War Z! The novel and the movie are so different. The novel could have been an epic TV series whereas the movie is just another generic zombie movie.
The book and the movie are completely different, I think that the only similarity is their title and that they are about the zombie apocalypse.
