Psycho My First Movie Review:)

I just got done watching my first movie and all I can say is "wow". Psycho by Albert Hitchcock is an old black and white movie that was filmed in 1960.At first when I seen that it was the only movie my dad had I thought of " HERE'S JOHNNY" which is not the movie that I was going to watch. This movie was nothing like what I thought it was going to be . For starters when I seen that it was in black and white my first thoughts were " God I cannot sit through such an old movie" as the movie went on my mind had no time to wonder at all.This had to be one of the creepiest movies I ever seen. I could not for one second take my eyes of the screen.
The first character that really caught my eye was Marion Crane she was a beautiful blonde haired lady in her late 20's or early 30's. Her character was really developed Marion had me going throughout the whole beginning of the movie she seemed screwed up and well psyco. Then their was Sam her boyfriend, Sam was tall and handsome he fit the role in this black and white movie perfectly. Norman is the motel owner that we meet later on in the movie, Norman is a timid man who seems more than innocent. When Marion and Sam meet you could tell that the roles of the characters were about to switch. Marion who at first seemed like the crazy one seemed to be allot more normal around Norman. The characters were casted incredibly, my dad told me that Albert Hitchcock ( the writer of this movie) was really into the art of a movie, every way the camera was angled was done on purpose and every little detail was used on purpose. The characters seemed like they were actually living this movie it was so real. I liked that each character in this film was unpredictable and I honestly didn’t know what to expect.
We began the movie with Marion the stunningly beautiful tall blonde women who had everything she wanted, a man that was willing to marry her, and a job that she had for a steady 10 years. One day she goes into work and a man comes in to buy a house bearing 40,000 dollars in cash. Marion takes the money and runs off with it. When she first went on the run I thought that Marion must of had a whole different life we had no clue about. On her journey to wherever she is deciding to go she stops, trades her car in, and gets a whole new one. She begins her journey again but by now its pouring out and dark so she goes to the nearest motel where she meets Norman Bates, before she goes to bed she takes a shower where she is stabbed repeatedly by a women. Norman gets rid of the body but their are plenty of people looking for Marion. Including a detective who also gets killed by a lady when he visits the hotel.
The obvious conflict in this movie is why this lady keeps killing these people for know reason. When the detective does not come back in an hour like he promises Marion's sister and boyfriend become noticeably anxious and decide to go to the motel themselves to inspect the place. Where they are almost killed but this time by Norman who we see was the one dressed up like a girl the whole time. What a crazy twist! I mean the whole time I thought it was his mother who apparently died long ago. Norman was so innocent throughout the whole beginning and the whole time I was worried about Marion doing something weird. The dialogue used in the movie seemed to be mischievous for a reason. I think that Albert Hitchcock purposely wanted us to keep our focus on crazy Marion when in fact all eyes should have been on Norman the innocent creature.
Psycho takes place in two different settings, it starts off in Phoenix, Arizona but then halfway through is brought to Los Angelos, California. The stage in this movie is very odd and everything is just angled weird and some parts to be honest dragged on a little longer then I thought was necessary. Little things in the movie really got to me like Marion’s eyes when she died, it seemed like there was purpose to why they were still open. I think every little detail in this movie might have been unnecessary but I also think that they had to have been meaningful. The music was perfect for this movie and I could recall the " reet reet reet!" as a very famous horror sound anyone could recognize. The lighting was amazing to because something about black and white really makes a movie extra scary. The costumes they all wore seemed misleading to me because I couldn’t really get who they were from their wardrobe. But then again when I seen Norman in women’s clothes with a knife I instantly figured out who he was. All in all this was a really good movie and I definitely recommend it to those who love a good horror.
