33 Weeks Pregnant With Sore Belly And Back?

Psycho


Title: Psycho
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Years: 1960
Genre: Yellow


A nice employee steals forty thousand U.S. dollars and escaped. Change the machine is in the midst of a storm and decide to spend the night in a motel. Norman is the owner, apparently a great guy who shows only some small strangeness, stuff like that of birds. The motel does not host any other customer. The woman decides to take a shower before bed. Under the water is attacked and killed by another woman who just sees. Norman discovers the body in the morning. Horrified does cleaning, put the corpse in the trunk of the car and making it disappear into the quicksand. Upset because he knows that the assassin is his mother, who is pathologically jealous of his son and can not bear even to speak with other women. A private investigator, with the help of the boyfriend of the murdered woman, unable to resolve the tangle, even if we call life. Norman and his mother are the same person: the guy is crazy, after killing his mother out of jealousy he kept the body in the attic and was identified in her unable to bear the guilt of his crime. Psycho was not the best Hitchcock films, but sometimes the ways of the mysterious cult of speed limit. In the sixties, the practice of the unconscious was certainly not new, it was already a sensation in 1944 with Spellbound (Gregory Peck, with the help of Bergman and a "Freudian" analytically solve their troubles going back to a childhood accident), but Anthony Perkins had given an interpretation of that to become effective by that time the most famous " crazy "in the history of cinema, without a real chance to break free from that role. The critics have never forgiven Hitchcock excessive harshness (and effects) of certain scenes. We recall the most famous: the skull of his mother sitting in his swivel chair, the death of a private detective (Martin Balsam ), the left house Bates always framed against a threatening sky. Especially the sequence of the killing of Janet Leigh in the shower has created a true collective psychosis.
