Psycho

Could you ever imagine what it would be like to have multiple personalities? The movie Psycho demonstrates how you can pretend to be something your not, how your actions can turn back on you and that not being honest will get in you trouble regardless to what the events are. We rate this movie a 5 stars out of 5. The reason we like this movie so much is because it started the entire series of horror flims, and we really liked the acting.

Psycho was Directed by Alred Hitchcock.Starring Anothony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin. The genre of this movie is drama, thiller, mystery and of course horror!  It all started with a Phoenix women who worked in an office, named Marion Crane who is tired and worked up with the way life has been treating her. Marion and her boyfriend Sam can't get married because Sam has to give all his money away to his ex wife from the divorce, thats why he couldn't marry Marion. One afternoon Marion is trusted by her employeer for 10 years to bank $40,000. Noticing she could take the money and start over, Marion leaves town and heads away to Sam in California . Tired after the long drive through a storm, she gets off the old main highway and stays at The Bates Motel, which soon will be the end of her and the beggining of a twisted mystery. The motel is managed by a creepy young man named Norman Bates. He is a skitzo who supposively has a crazy mother that messes with his mind.

The rising action for us was when Marion took the money and left, then arrived in at the Bates Motel. The Climax was when he killed Marion in the shower and then made us think it was his mother instead of really Norman, himself also when he killed the private investagator who was hired to figure out the case. The falling action was when Marions sister and her boyfriend Sam went as a couple to the Bates Motel and bust the case of Norman really being psycho and having multiple personalities, and his mother truely dead.

"She was there, but she was a corpse. So he began to think and speak for her. Give her half his life, so to speak. At times he could be both personalities, carry on conversations. At other times, the mother half took over completely. Now he was never all Norman. But he was often only mother." Dr. Fred Richmond. We thought it was Alfred Hitchcock did a really good job making it a surprise that there really was no mother in this movie. The twist really surprised both of us and made us like the movie even more. Although we thought the taxadermy was very creepy, at the begnning we felt sorry for Norman; thinking his mother really was insane but then when we figured out it was Norman and thought he need some serious help. Also we thought that the shower scene was a little corny with her making all those weird faces. A symbol of the movie was when Marion was murdered her eye was looking straight at the money, either longing for it or wanting to return it.

"…I’ll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know and they’ll say, ‘Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…." Norman Bates. This is ironic because Norman thinks no one suspects him and really believes he is innocent, when really he's the master mind behind all the murders. This quote really makes the end of this movie CREEPY along with him running down the stairs  as his "mother" to the cellar to kill Marion's sister, but when Sam knock Norman unconcious and saving Marion's sister.

Could you ever imagine what it would be like to have multiple personalities? To live alone and have no family members, no one to talk to and having the death of others on your hands? the movie Psycho shows us all of these things and how it can ware on a person to make them go insane. So now as yourself, Who really are you?!!
