Who's Really The Psycho?

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Writers: Joseph Stefano (screenplay) Robert Bloch (novel)

Stars: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh. Vera Miles

In 1960 a crazy, game changing film was created and it was called Psycho. The movie got you to think because of the mystery it brought to the audience. It definitely grabs your attention on what might happen next. 

SPOILER ALERT!!! Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) and her boyfriend Sam Loomis wanted to run away and get married together. But because of his debts they couldn't. Marion later that day went to work and was asked to deposit $40,000. Was she that crazy to steal it? She ran off with that money so her  [she] and Sam could live the life she wanted. Marion was nervous, but after her interacting with the police officer and the used car salesman, it makes you wonder if she's the psycho one. Marion needed to rest after all she went through. She comes across Bates Motel where she meets the last person she will ever talk to. 

That night she checks into the motel in a different name [the alias Marie Samuels], and Norman becomes attracted to Marion. He's nice to her and even makes her food. They stir up a conversation where we find out he has an interest in taxidermy. In 15 minutes Marion's life was going to be gone. Norman's mother killed her while she was in the shower. Stab after stab. Was she the psycho? We later find out that Norman's mother has been dead. The whole time Norman pretends to be his mother by dressing up as her and making conversation with his mother like she is still alone [alive]. Psycho? Yes, I believe so. Norman was the crazy one all along. 

This movie was good, and I would recommend it to people who are into drama and mystery. It kept you thinking on what will happen next. I never knew who the real psycho was in all honestly. If you ask me, they are all crazy. But Norman showed his psycho side the most. When Marion died you realized that the whole time it wasn't her. The movie was quick but not too quick. I thought that was good because it got to the point. Movies that drag can loose people's attention, but Psycho didn't. This movie definitely brings up some questions, but that's the point. It makes the audience want more!
