    Before the Janet Leigh shower scene, no one in America knew what a naked woman’s body looked like, in fact, most women didn’t even know you were supposed to be nude to bathe. Hitchcock’s suggestion of nudity on film and frank depiction of sex outside of wedlock created horniness for the first time in our history. Hitchcock got everyone sprung before immediately showing the most brutal murder that had ever been depicted in art. The juxtaposition of these two heretofore never experienced phenomena created something called “psychology” for the first time ever and permanently warped Americans’ minds by connecting having a mother to sex and death. Truly Hitchcock is the master of puppets.

    why is the shower scene the iconic murder when the next victim falls/glides down the stairs for 5 mins straight after being stabbed

    If someone offers you milk with dinner like that’s an acceptable beverage you can automatically assume they are mentally ill.

    بعيداً عن الحنكة وكل شي الفلم ذا مو طبيعي كتابة شخصية نورمان فضيعة بشكل كذا تكتب شخصية فيلين ياليت المخرجين الباقي يتعلمون من العراب هيتشكوك فلم عظيم وتويست عظيم وكتابة عظيمة والإخراج كلام ثاني وبس والله

    “We all go a little mad sometimes” This film is a masterpiece. Alfred Hitchcock is a master of creating suspense, and this film shows it. This is, in my opinion, not only one of the greatest films ever made, but also one of the best universal studios films made. It definitely deserves to be on the film hall of fame, it shows how truly mentally unwell some people can be, and the consequences of obsession and jealousy but also un…

    60’lar liselilerinin izleyeceği tarzdan bir korku filmi yılına göre güzel olay örgüsü flashbacklerle veya ekstra ögelerle boğulmayıp tek bir zaman çizgisinde ilerlemesi iyi olmuş hikayedeki plot twistin abartılacak bir yanı yok ana karakterin erkenden ölmesi şaşırttı onun dışında hikayenin derinlemesine incelenmemesi bates’in psikolojik rahatsızlığının sanrılarını daha derinlemesine gösterilmesi daha çok hoşuma giderdi ama böylede güzel beni sardı doğal olarak 60 ların retro amerikan havasıda güzel abartılcak bir yanıda yok ama

    engraçado como no início achava que o filme iria para um certo caminho mas daí a meio vai para um caminho bem distinto que não estava à espera agradaram-me bastante as cenas de tensão e o quão perturbado genuinamente ficas toda a vez que aparece o psicopata, isso para não falar na história que é interessante e no plot twist final que também o é

    finally got to see it on the silver screen !!! ive seen this like the umpteenth now but it really still holds up. so modern. so timeless. although i’ve seen it so many times – i think the factor that makes this round bump up my rating is that you really get the feeling of committing voyuerism. just the way hitchcock intended.

    A Brilliant Hitchcock film that changed cinema. The performances are good great dialogue and an amazing twist with some excellent cinematography throughout. Only problems for me would be I didn’t like the first half that much it’s okay but the second half is amazing. Revolutionary classic that changed cinema. Good film!

    วิสัยทัศน์ที่ส่องสว่างเหนือกาลเวลา คุณค่าของ Psycho ยังคงเปล่งประกายและทำให้ผู้ชมตัวสั่นได้เหมือนครั้งแรก ภาษาและไวยากรณ์ทางภาพยนตร์อัดยอดเยี่ยมของ Alfred Hitchcock สามารถยึดกุมอารมณ์ และชักจูงการรับรู้ของผู้ชมได้อย่างเบ็ดเสร็จเด็ดขาด เช่นเดียวกับเนื้อหาเชิงจิตวิเคราะห์ที่ยังคงร่วมสมัย และมอบประสบการณ์บนจอขนาดยักษ์ได้อย่างน่าประทับใจ

    Its ending is a masterpiece tier ending as the way Dr. Fred Richman explain about Norman Bates is my favorite part (might be an unpopular opinion but I think it’s an excellent fictional psychological profiling case study, while Alfred Hitchcock himself didn’t like the idea that was pressured by the studio). What I said of how the ending is a masterpiece tier ending makes me wish I could say the same about pacing in beginning and middle of the film.…

    This movie is iconic and an absolute classic that paved the way for so many horror movies that I love. It’s well shot, well written, well acted (especially by Anthony Perkins), and very well scored, but the editor definitely could’ve cut some scenes down to shorten the run time and to make things move at a better pace. Several scenes are very drawn out and it starts to make the movie feel like it’s dragging by. I’m excited to revisit more of Alfred Hitchcock’s work and to see where I rank/what I rate each of them! *I watched the uncut version

    an incredible experience watching the beginnings of all of my favorite horror tropes and references… the sound design and soundtrack are so influential and i sat there amazed as it clicked to me that the composers of reanimator’s soundtrack took heavy inspiration from this film’s. and all of the things that scream ended up referencing, of course. the iconic “mama’s boy” slasher archetype… and just so many of the devices i have seen before in movies that came out after…

    Es una de mis películas favoritas de todos los tiempos; adoro a Anthony Perkins y su actuación en esta película. Puede que hoy en día a la gente no le parezca que da miedo o que no es nada demasiado interesante, pero enserio esta película es una obra de arte increíble, me he enamorado de esta película una y otra vez desde que la vi por primera vez a los diez años Es un clásico increíble, ninguna película moderna podría igualar el impacto que tuvo esta maravillosa obra Te quiero, Anthony Perkins, eres mi verdadero amor.

    Back here to add my review here Girlllllll could have avoided a lot with implementation of preventive controls Anyone who can deposit money to the company’s bank should be preauthorized to do so, for example a required signature on receipt / slip for a deposit over a certain amount But great movie nonetheless took turns I wasn’t expecting

    One of the scariest films I have seen. I can’t explain it. This film consistently sewed constant dread and disquiet in my inner psyche but kept my eyes glued to the TV. This film’s shots, characters and score all contributed to this unease and it was done masterfully. This is only the second Hitchcock film I’ve watched but I think this is his crème de la Creme. Anthony Perkins’ performance here as Norman Bates is chef’s kiss. He had the…

    Por que eu demorei tanto pra ver esse suprassumo do cinema? Nem ideia, deveria ter visto antes. O Que eu mais me agradou foram os diálogos. Principalmente o Bates falando com ela no começo, é perceptível o momento que ele sai do controle e se incomoda quando ela ofende a mãe dele, além disso tem um foreshadowing (que eu amo) dele comparando ela com um pássaro. Eu tinha em mente que, por ser um filme clássico ele seria meio entediante,…
