PSHYCO
Pshyco was filmed in 1960 in the USA. It was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, famous director because of his suspense and thriller films, and with Anthony Perkins (Bates) and Janet Leigh (Marion) in the leading roles. It is based on a novel by Robert Bloch. It´s about a motel owner who has two different personalities and that struggles to have full control of either one of them.
Marion steals money from her boss and dissapears whithout anyone, she stops to sleep in a motel in the middle of nowhere and it just so happens that she is the only gest. During the night, while she is having a shower she is sturbed to death. Then the murderer puts her body in her car and drives it into a lake. The motel is owned by Bates and he lives in the following house. Then Marion´s sister and bofriend, worried about her, help a private detective who was searching Marion because of the stolen money to find her. He discovers that Marion slept on Bates motel and he is also murdered. As they know nothing about the detective they go to motel and discover the truth. Bates after the death of his mum he couldn´t accept it so he addopted her personality, and he thinks she stills alive.
My favourite character was Bates, because he was so inteligent. He is the bad of the history and usually people don´t like that character but I think he was so good been bad. A scene to point out from the film is the main action when Marion is sturbed wiht a knife, this is very famous and one of the most influencial scenes on cinematography industry. Marion is killed by Bates whith his mother personallity (so we can say that it was his mother), she wanted to be the only woman on his son live so when he likes a girl his mum is jealous and she killes her.
The actors work is so good, every situation and conversation looks so realist and I think that´s one of the strong points of the film, that everything is true and realistic, is innovative because is the first film showing this mental diseasse to the public. The movie flows so good, fast enough not to worry and slow enough to understand it, a good use of the camera and the music helps on that. The use of camera is so innovative and modern for that time, Hitchcock was the pioneer of a lot of new cinematography thecnics, he used a lot of close ups, for example we can see one in the scene previously mentioned to the knife, he also used the camera as the eyes of a characther to give more realisim and a new point of view to the scene, it also makes that the action reach better the public as they are been puting in the place of the character. The music is also important, the film has a very good soundtrack, it goes with the film all the time creating tension and expentation. Some parts of teh soundtrack have became so popular, for example the music of the shower scene is well-known.
In conclucion Pshyco is a good film because of the resources it uses and the captivating story. Personally I like and recommend the film because is very important on cinematography history so everyone who likes filming have to watch it and also people who doesn´t like cinematography will like it because the plot is thrilling and the film cativates the public from the beginning.
