But some still attempt to make them. Those who succeed are rare, and the strange thing is that even the lucky ones don’t appear to know they are doing it at the time. In fact, it sometimes takes years to realise what really is a great film or what may have looked wonderful at the time but was just a momentary flourish. Most of the films on this particular list didn’t so much shake the world as become memorable because, when you look back on them, they seem so much better than we may have thought at the time. But memories are short and the opportunity to see the full flowering of cinema history is denied to all but a few.

An era of maternity-coded films emerged, specifically with the debut of Psycho (1960), progressing to where Hollywood horror cinema stands now: a conglomeration of remakes, reinventions, and revisitations to recognizable themes entrenched in white (and often female) victimhood, paranormal visits, inexplicably violent strangers, and disease.

  • The Horror Within the Genre
    Alfred Hitchcock shocked the world with his film Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960), once ​ ​ he killed off Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) half way through the film. Her sister, Lila Crane (Vera Miles), would remain untouched even after Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) attacked her and her sisters lover. Unlike her sister, Lila did not partake in premarital sex, and unlike her sister, she survived the film. Almost 20 years later audiences saw a very similar fate play out in Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978). Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) managed to outlive her ​ three friends on Halloween night. Once she slashed her way through Michael Myers (Nick Castle), Laurie would remain the lone survivor just as she was the lone virgin. Both Lila and Laurie have a common thread: they are both conventionally beautiful, smart virgins, that are capable of taking down their tormentors. Both of these women also survived a male murder and did so by fighting back. Not isolated to their specific films, these women transcend their characters to represent more than just Lila Crane or Laurie Strode—but the idea of a final girl, establishing a trope within the genre. More importantly, final girls like Crane and Strode identified key characteristics that contemporary audiences wanted out of women including appearance, morality, sexual prowess, and even femininity. While their films are dark and bloodstained, these women are good and pure, at least until the gruesome third act fight. The final girl is the constant within the slasher genre, since its beginning with films like Psycho and ​ ​ Peeping Tom (Michael Powell, 1960).

I owe a special “Thank You” to Dr. Takacs for being such a helpful guide in what seemed the darkest of hours; her advice, understanding, and counsel proved much too invaluable when the burdens of coursework, teaching, research, and writing weighed on me the most and anxiety loomed the largest. This essay owes much to her stewardship and to our conversations on film and culture.

Analyse du film d'Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho/Psychose (USA, 1960), par Henri Philibert- Caillat. La licence de ce document figure en bas du texte. 1. Analyse Le propre de tout chef-d’œuvre artistique est, dit-on, de proposer de multiples significations et d’influencer les créateurs à venir par son aspect novateur. Pour ce qui ©http://libresavoir.org/index.php?title=Psychose_d’27Hitchcock Page 1 sur 26 est du cinéma moderne, on pourrait dire, paraphrasant une phrase célèbre, qu’au début il y eut Citizen Kane (1941) d’Orson Welles ; puis vint Psycho (1960) de Hitchcock, l’un des films fondateurs du cinéma moderne, qui marque encore les mémoires des cinéphiles et inspire toujours les réalisateurs et les critiques plus de quarante années après sa sortie sur les écrans. Qu’il s’agisse des thèmes, de l’atmosphère, du décor ou de la réalisation, citons, entre autres auteurs influencés, Claude Chabrol (1968 : La Femme infidèle [1] et 1969 : Le Boucher [2]), Dario Argento (1970 : L’Oiseau au plumage de cristal), Brian de palma (1980 : Pulsions ), David Lynch (1986 : Blue velvet [3]), David Cronenberg (1988 : Faux-semblants), M.

The personality of the director will also be analyzed due to his turbulent relationships, especially with actresses, which highly affected his way of working. To pursue this objective, Laura Mulvey’s theory about the male gaze will be used, together with other theories from Gender Studies (e.g. Tania Modleski’s and Camille Paglia’s), as will be the biography of the director written by François Truffaut. After presenting a general overview of Hitchcock’s world, I will explore his methods of working, paying attention to the production of Psycho and to the film itself in relation to gender issues over the course of the different sections of the dissertation. The object of this analysis is not to discredit Alfred Hitchcock’s prestige, since his work is exceptional, but instead to ascertain whether Psycho is indeed as misogynist as his filmmaker’s reputation.

  • Remaking Psycho
    REMAKING PSYCHO by JAMES NAREMORE Critical discussions of movie remakes have a good deal in common with discussions of literary adaptations. Both deal with the somewhat questionable idea of the original versus the copy, both value the unique work of art, and both treat the "precursor text" with a kind of deference. The typical essay on adaptation can be summed up by a New Yorker cartoon that Alfred Hitchcock once described to Francois Truffaut: two goats are eating a pile of film cans, and one goat says to the other, "Personally, I liked the book better." A roughly similar argument can be found in most writing about remakes, if only because classic Hollywood is now universally regarded as a respectable art form that created a large number of culturally treasured works, many of which are subject to recycling, updating, and retelling by contem­ 1 porary producers. Certainly there is nothing new about the phenomenon of remakes, which sometimes result in good films. (Consider Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much.) Popular art and commercial entertainment have always depended upon the repetition of successful formulas. But audiences today have an unusual historical self-consciousness (many of them enjoy watching old movies on TV), and certain remade movies are more likely than others to be regarded with suspicion by cognoscenti. Some Hollywood films (King Kong, for instance) are especially suited to remaking because they are inherently spectacular and have an elemental, mythopoetic quality. Others resist the process, either because they require unique stars (The Marx Brothers, Astaire and Rogers), or because they belong to a particular period of entertainment that is difficult to "translate" into the present (the Freed-unit musicals at MGM).
