Psycho

During the year, I learned about some old movies that were classical hits. Movies that I really wanted to watch but just could not seem to find the time to do so. Luckily, for the video course we got to watch Psycho.

Psycho, is a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is about a woman, Marian Crane, who is trying to find a way to be with her love, Sam Loomis. She is able to get $40,000 by robbing it from her workplace and travels off to see her lover. She ends at a motel, where she finds a shy but nice manager, Norman Bates. He offers a room, a meal, and even spends time with her to get to know her. Marion talks about her life with Norman and she realizes that she should give the money back that she robbed. Later that night, while she is taking a shower she is attacked by Norman's mother. People started to look for Marion, such as her sister and her lover. They realize that Norman did not have a mother alive anymore. That he was pretending to be her because he was just to emotionally attached. We find out that Norman has a psychiatric condition and that he was the one that killed Marion.

I looked into some background information about this film and found out that is based on a true event that happened. This whole story is completely scary to think about because it can happen to everyone. I really enjoyed this film because it is not what I thought it was going to be about. I thought it was going to about Marion and what she has to go through to try to get to her lover. When I played the video i thought i was actually watching the wrong movie cause everything seemed so normal in the the film. I`m really glad that I got to watch this movie because it was filmed really well.
