An American Classic

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2015)

I remember when I first saw this the ending really got me by surprise. Now, looking back on it, I notice the smaller details Hitchcock put into this film. I, specifically, liked the comparison between the color of Janet Leigh's character's underwear. Int the beginning of the movie, her underwear was black. After she decided to give back the money h had stolen, her underwear is white to symbolize her repenting her crimes. Overall the movie is very good. My favorite part of the whole movie is Anthony Perkins' acting. It's excellently creepy which s good to set up an overall feel for the infamous Bates Motel. Another very good part is the movie's twist ending. One could argue that it's the predecessor for all future plot twists.
