  • Psycho by Charles Taylor “The a List: the National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002
    Psycho By Charles Taylor “The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002 Reprinted by permission of the author The impact of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” owes so much to its two big surprises that when the film opened in 1960 Hitchcock not only refused to allow press screenings but had theaters hire Pinkerton security guards to prevent latecomers from entering the theater once the picture had started. He wanted to keep the people who hadn’t bought tickets from finding out that Janet Leigh’s Marion Crane is stabbed to death in the shower only forty-five minutes into the movie, and that the murderer is Antho- ny Perkins’s Norma Bates, who has succumbed to the personality of the mother he murdered years before. In many ways, “Psycho” seems like a death knell for the studio system that would lumber on for a few more years before collapsing later in the decade under the weight of filmmakers and audiences sick of the old stultified formu- Alfred Hitchcock holding a clapper on the set of “Psycho.” las.

    Movies & Languages 2018-2019 Psycho About the movie (subtitled version) DIRECTOR Alfred Hitchcock YEAR/COUNTRY 1960 / USA GENRE Thriller ACTORS A. Perkins (Norman Bates), J. Leigh (Marion Crane), J. Gavin (Sam Loomis), V. Miles (Marion’s sister, Lila), M. Balsam (Arbogast) PLOT Marion Crane is a trusted secretary who steals $40,000 in cash that her boss entrusts her with, planning to take it to her lover, Sam, and start a new life. However, she is not very good at being a criminal and makes a policeman suspicious, and also a car salesman when she trades in her car. Due to a heavy rainstorm, she ends up at the Bates motel, which is well off the main highway, where the shy manager offers her a room, a meal and a chat. They have a conversation about life’s traps which makes Marion decide to give the money back. However, Marion is murdered in the shower before she can carry out her plan. Wanting to get the money back without involving the police, Marion’s boss, her sister and the boss’s associate pay a private detective, Arbogast, to track her down. After notifying Lila and Sam that he is intending to interview Bates’ mother, Arbogast disappears, and the two searchers contact the local sheriff. Here they make some discoveries which lead them to go out to the motel themselves and solve the mystery. LANGUAGE This movie contains very little complex vocabulary – indeed, it contains relatively little dialogue. The English used, although American in accent, is standard and classic, with the slight exception of the sheriff, who uses a few more colourful expressions (e.g.

  • Epilogue Psycho (1960) and the New Domestic Gaze
    Epilogue Psycho (1960) and the New Domestic Gaze By the time Fort Apache appeared in theatres, the Hollywood studios were in deep crisis. As Schatz puts it, “business was declining rapidly. In fact, the fall- ing gross revenues and profits for all the studios would not only continue but accelerate over the coming years” (1999: 331). When the studios did begin to recover, Hollywood had lost its monopoly on the moving sound image. Television began to penetrate everyday life. So, in the late 20th century, cinema was no longer as central to the habits and practices of Americans as it had been during the period in which it alone had the power to move pictures, and thus people. In response, cinema began to dramatize this very transformation through its interrogation of the cinematic gaze. The Gaze Rather than defining the “cinematic gaze” in conceptual terms, let me describe the picture that most famously theorizes this gaze. I’m thinking of course of that seminal moment from Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho (1960) that takes place about 45 minutes into the picture. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) has arrived at the Bates Motel with a bag full of money stolen from her employer. After having dinner with Norman, she decides to shower, presumably to wash away her guilt. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), in an adjoining room, takes a painting from the wall. Behind the frame, a hole in the plaster through which Norman watches Marion undress. Here I offer the context, but the scene is important not only for its function in this specific narrative, but because of its formal structure; what that structure says about cinema itself, and about the viewer’s symbolic participation in cinematic violence.

  • PSYCHO NOTES 1. the Mother, Norma Bates, Is a Classic Super-Ego Character, Internalized by Norman. the Tension in the Film Comes
    PSYCHO NOTES 1. The Mother, Norma Bates, is a classic super-ego character, internalized by Norman. The tension in the film comes from not knowing that she is actually dead and mummified. She is the ‘thing that refuses to die’ in the sense that Norman’s internalization of her keeps her alive and her body is not buried but treated as alive. 2. The house is a classic ‘uncanny’ house: Victorian, high on a hill, ‘empty’. The house contains the secret, and getting into the house stages the attempts to uncover the truth. 3. The theme of voyeurism is a perversion that is itself perverted. Instead of leading to sexual pleasure, Norman adopts the persona of his mother to kill Marion Crane. His pleasure is sadistic rather than sexual or, rather, he derives sexual pleasure from the stabbing — as God seems to do in the case of Sta. Theresa. 4. The drain and the eye dominate the shower scene; this is the Real! The camera wanders away, pausing to look at objects in the room, and then drifts out the window toward the house. 5. The role of the voice is key. Normal ventriloquizes his mother’s voice, staging conversations that the audience takes to be actual until they discover the mother’s corpse. Is there, like in Vertigo, a phrase? Possibly the shift in the role of the acousmatic voice is an indicator that Psycho is a different kind of ‘discourse’. 6. What is the meaning of the taxidermy theme, apart from the role it plays in explaining Norman’s anxiety to preserve the mother’s body.

  • The Contemporary Gothic in Bates Motel Reviving Psycho…
    We Still Need to Talk About Norman: The Contemporary Gothic in Bates Motel Renata Pires de Souza* Resumo: Estrelada por Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates) e Freddie Highmore (Norman Bates), Bates Motel estreou em 2013 como uma série de TV derivada de Psicose (Robert Bloch, 1959; Alfred Hitchcock, 1960). A proposta é construir uma prequel contemporânea para a história, que promete mostrar um retrato de Norman Bates durante sua adolescência, revelando a complexa relação entre ele e sua mãe. Alguns elementos góticos são trazidos de volta pela série, como a casa abandonada; sombras projetadas; ações que se passam à noite; a prática da taxidermia; a questão do duplo, do estranho e da paranoia. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é observar como Bates Motel revive e expande a história original, sobretudo em se tratando do gótico contemporâneo, no qual temos a retórica da psicanálise como um tema bastante explícito na narrativa, e não apenas como ferramenta para a análise do texto. Dentro dessa perspectiva, registra-se a impossibilidade de harmonia familiar, assunto crucial na série, visto que cada relação esconde algum tipo de problema. Ainda, tem-se a mãe monstruosa, figura ambígua, que extravasa o seu amor descomedido, ciúme e superproteção; bem como o herói patológico, figura introspectiva, que oculta sua monstruosidade. Reviver essa história, portanto, não apenas nos permite recordar uma narrativa perturbadora, mas também experimentar algo novo, visto que esse é o propósito da ficção derivativa: criar uma nova trama a partir daquela já conhecida pelo público. Palavras-chave: ficção derivativa, Bates Motel, gótico contemporâneo, mãe monstruosa, herói patológico. A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.

  • "Gender and Power in 'Psycho'" by Matthew Cohen
    "Gender and Power in 'Psycho'" by Matthew Cohen Gender and Power in Psycho Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Psycho (1960) is not simply a story of murder and mental illness, but also of gender and power. At the outset of the film, the protagonist Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) and the villain Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) are both "trapped" (to use Norman's phrasing) as subordinate partners in their respective male-female relationships. Marion is desperately stuck in a dead-end romantic entanglement with her non-committal boyfriend Sam Loomis (John Gavin), while Norman appears to be ensnared in an unusually crippling relationship with his overbearing Mother. Marion and Norman's dissatisfaction with their respective relationships mobilizes an internal conflict within each character in which both must struggle with the implications of gender and power in their personal lives. Hitchcock utilizes the Bates Motel as an experimental setting in which the traditional gender roles of the outside world may be challenged, thereby providing Marion and Norman with an environment where they are able play out their internal conflicts using each other as test subjects. The themes of gender and power are clearly palpable right at the outset of the film. In the very first shot we see of Marion, she is lying on a bed in a submissive position with Sam looming above her as the dominant male. We are immediately aware of the conventional gender-power structure. Despite Marion's obvious post-coital state, she appears deeply distressed at having breached her own sense of female propriety. She tells her lover, Sam, that she hates seeing him "in a place like this", referring to a seedy by-the-hour hotel.

  • Costume Ideas: the 30 Creepiest Characters in TV and Film
    Costume Ideas: The 30 Creepiest Characters in TV and Film From Pennywise to Po. BY HANNAH ONGLEY Haven't picked out a costume for this weekend? Just go as Pennywise the Clown. According to this sorta-kinda official list of America's creepiest characters from film and television, the case for a timeless look is just as strong at Halloween as it is any other time of the year. E-Score, the nation's leading character-research service, asked 1,500 consumers across different income, age, education, and geographic demographics to determine the creepiest inhabitants of America's small and big screen. It then sorted the characters by the percentage of people who Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates in Bates Motel rated them as "creepy." NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images While the 15 creepiest film characters are all pretty objectively terrifying, the television choices are slightly more controversial. Mr. Burns creepier than the Teletubbies? Clearly these people have never seen the latter in black-and- white. Anyway, here are your top picks, America: Creepiest Film Characters Creepiest TV Characters 1. Pennywise the Clown (Stephen King's It) 80% 1. Norman Bates 66% 2. Annabelle the Doll (The Conjuring) 77% 2. Dr. Hannibal Lecter 60% 3. Norman Bates (Psycho) 73% 3. Oswald Cobblepot (Gotham) 58% 4. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs) 72% 4.
