Psycho

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2010)

This film i thought was directed very well. The camera angles were also shot nicely. Alfred Hitchcock directed this film. In the beginning of the movie we see a long take of showing the city and then the camera focuses on a building and then goes right to the window and into the room. Lila Crane who is played by Vera Miles steals 40,000 thousand dollars from her work and we see her in a car. While she is in the car the camera is facing her and we can see cars in the back. We can also hear her thoughts while she is driving. In this movie the camera like to focus on the objects. Lila arrives at a motel. She meets Norman Bates. Norman plays his character well. He is very psychotic. He has two personalities. But the audience doesn't find that out until the end of the movie. He or should I say his mother ends up killing Lila. We never actually see her get stabbed with the knife just see her struggling and then falling down and see some blood. I like how the camera focuses on the drain in the shower and then we see her eye. The music in this movie lets the audience know that something is gonna happen. So there is a lot of suspense throughout the movie.
