Hidden meanings

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2004)

I read a college professor's thesis on Psycho years ago. I found it interesting, and I think of several of their ideas every time I see the film. Some of the more interesting ideas follow:
1. It's Christmas time, and you see decorations when Marion is leaving town but the movie seems more like Halloween.
2. When Marion is changing her clothes in her bedroom, you see her shower head peeking out...foretelling things to come.
3. When she buys a newspaper, and folds the paper and puts it in her purse, the word "OK" is visible. This is particularly noticable when she is at the motel register.
4. Her license plate is "NFB" aka Norman F. Bates.
