hitchcock

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2015)

An Alfred Hitchcock classic. My mom first showed me this when I was 13, then from then one we would re watch it whenever we got the chance. It's one of those movies were the more you watch it the more you understand about the film and why the director did this or that. And how that has affected you view of the film as a viewer. The acting of Bates was successful, because I never suspected him. I just thought he was an odd ball. And the shower scene, were he stabs the girl a hundred bazillion times is totally overdone and . . . and just perfect. Hitchcock wants us to know it's a movie, don't take it too seriously. Her screaming forever, remaining standing after each blow. He wants to scare us, but not too badly. Best Montage I have seen in a while as well.
