    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Norman (Anthony Perkins) debates sending his mother to the "madhouse."
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was already famous as the screen's master of suspense (and perhaps the best-known film director in the world) when he released Psycho and forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in 1960), Psycho announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before, and on that score what followed would hardly disappoint. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is unhappy in her job at a Phoenix, Arizona real estate office and frustrated in her romance with hardware store manager Sam Loomis (John Gavin). One afternoon, Marion is given $40,000 in cash to be deposited in the bank. Minutes later, impulse has taken over and Marion takes off with the cash, hoping to leave Phoenix for good and start a new life with her purloined nest egg. 36 hours later, paranoia and exhaustion have started to set in, and Marion decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel, where nervous but personable innkeeper Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cheerfully mentions that she's the first guest in weeks, before he regales her with curious stories about his mother. There's hardly a film fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable bits throughout this film. The first of a handful of sequels followed in 1983, while Gus Van Sant's controversial remake, starring Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche, appeared in 1998.

    For my money, THIS is the most terrifying scene in the movie. Norman is so _intense_ that even though he hasn't done anything bad to Marion yet, she finds herself oddly terrified by him. He is an actual human being giving off serious Uncanny Valley vibes, almost like a robot doing its best impression of a human. Anthony Perkins was brilliant.

      @shanefolan 6 років тому +44

      i don't think 'oddly terrified of him' is an accurate description here as he is acting quite intimidating so she's naturally terrified and feels unsettled by his manner and tone. Any person-particulary a woman on her own would feel terrified here. She is a defenseless woman too and he is a 6 foot man- much bigger and stronger so he could easily overpower her.

    • @oscarstainton
      @oscarstainton 5 років тому +56

      Shane Folan I think you’re focusing too much on Norman’s physical attributes. The tension in this scene doesn’t come from the notion that Norman could overpower Vivian, or that he’s especially strong. It comes from how he goes from calm, relaxed and personable to intense, accusatory and defensive within seconds, and all without raising his voice or taking his eyes off her. I love the subtle expression change 0:25 you can see fear come across Vivian’s face and she realises that something is very off about Norman.

    I love that Hitchcock chose Anthony Perkins to be the Psycho. He wasn't like the typical crazy, ugly movie murderer. He's so damn beautiful. It screws with your emotions and perception of what's actually going on. I think that's what makes it so memorable. Just brilliant.

    • @BTTFMovie
      @BTTFMovie 9 років тому +395

      Abraham Lincoln I know, it's great. Hitchcock tried to trick audiences into believing the movie was about Janet Leigh's character because she was a huge star at the time. When I first saw the movie, I assumed the title _Psycho_ was an exaggerated reference to Marion Crane temporarily going a little crazy when she makes the decision to steal the $40,000.
      I thought the movie would be some kind of chase/crime drama about a woman falling further into darkness while at the same time trying to regain her sanity after committing a crime that's eating away at her conscience.
      I thought the bit with Norman Bates at the motel was a tiny subplot that would end quickly. It wasn't until I heard Mother's voice that I knew something else was going on here. Then after Crane was murdered, the focus shifted and it was slowly revealed that the story was not about her, it's about _him_. Great movie.

      +AmericanGraffiti Begins He wasn't even nominated? I think it was because he was just too damn good. Before Psycho, horror movies were almost always about the supernatural. But Perkins scares us in a way not even Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing could do. And he doesn't ham it up, like Anthony Hopkins did thirty years later in The Silence Of The Lambs (which he won an Oscar for). Perkins' performance is subtle and understated, but utterly sinister.

      +Courtney Cook I don't think it would have been better in colour. It was shot and lit for black and white. Of course this was partly due to budget constraints but his use of black and white and his TV crew gave the film a very stylistic look and feel that just wouldn't have been the same with colour. In fact, I doubt the film would have even been made (or at the very least, it would have been a lot different) if it was shot in colour. One of the reasons he chose to shoot in black and white was so the shower scene wouldn't be too gory for the studio and censors. The studio didn't even want him to make the film in the first place but of course Hitchcock was a master and did it anyway. He pulled it off in an incredible way partly due to it being in black and white. Bit of a ramble this was, eh?

    The way he moves at 0:17 is just brilliantly invasive and frightening. Remains eye contact, no blinking, goes from the outskirts of the frame to filling it and crossing that line between the movie world and the world of the audience.

    @Cinemabuff97 8 років тому +45

    This scene is so brilliantly scary. That line, "We all go a little mad sometimes." And the way he gives that smile right after he says that. "Haven't you?" And she's probably thinking yes, since she took off with the money, and is paranoid about people following her, and knowing about it, but she is so unaware that the man talking to her is even madder than she is. You can already tell she is a little unnerved by his presence and the way that he talks to her, and sets things up. This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Truly scary, but truly real, because the fact is that it is actually *real.* We all do go a little mad sometimes. It's just that when Norman says it, it is so scarily ironic, because he is truly one of the maddest movie characters ever made. 😠😱😱😱😱😲😲

    I'm currently reading the book and the original line is "we all go a little crazy sometimes." The change from "crazy" to "mad" just makes it scarier. Mad makes it feel like she goes on a rampage and loses it. Crazy feels like a way to describe a self tortured person.

When you view something from a historic point of view try informing yourself of the culture and mindset at the time it was released in not something which is commonplace and "normal" half a century later.

    “They cluck their thick tongues and shake their heads and suggest oh so very delicately” is a string of words I love so much. I don’t usually admire English for how it sounds, but there’s just something about the way this line sounds, or maybe it just how Perkins delivers it. Anyway, wonderful performance on his part. I watched the movies up to 3, and he didn’t lose a single bit of what made the character great and genuinely scary even though 3 was honestly just a total mess.
    Anyway, I love this scene a lot. Probably my favorite in the whole movie.
