Whether it is in the film or in reality, Psycho encounters resistance. It's unprecedented. With the power and status of the fat man, he still has to worry about investment and distribution, worry about the audience's evaluation, worry about harsh censorship, and even his precarious marriage described in the film. But for one thing, he firmly believes that he has 100% control and vowed to be perfect---his films and sets, and the actors in them.
In the spring of 1956, Grace Kelly married away from home. However, two unknown actresses have since been given the meaning of existence: Tippi Hedren and Vera Miles played by Jessica Biel in the film. The white blonde girl stood beside the fat man, and "The Birds" and "The Reunification" showed two rising stars of Heathrow. The private contract with Hitchcock's name allows him to freely write about several girls in order to polish his exclusive Princess of Monaco. It is a pity that most of the fantasy is wishful thinking. The sudden pregnancy of Miss Miles gave the fat man the "Ecstasy" customized for her alone to Kim Novak, who he had rejected earlier! And Hedren Meimei refused to continue to perform the contract after the "Big Thief". The frightened two fawns fled from his set without hesitation, vowing that they would not step into the half-step in this life.
When they talk about the feeling of working with a fat man, what should they talk about? I think that common words should include the following: torture, stalking, suffocation, vomiting, tears, collapse, and cage. There are countless NG processes that are not painful, except for the movie, what clothes to wear, what hairstyle to comb, what to eat, and where to go. Fatty takes care of everything. Miles should be thankful that his interest in her did not last long, and her reaction to this was quite cold, perhaps because she had always felt that she was just a substitute for Bergman and the princess. In a recent TV interview, Grandma Hedren disclosed the abuse and humiliation she suffered after rejecting the unspoken rules of fat people (I don’t believe it!!), including a week-long live shooting of enduring ravens and pigeons. After she insisted on leaving Because of the ban, the career was sluggish (← the inspiration for the HBO movie the Girl launched last year).
Sometimes one hopes that the question from Freud to Eriksen will be simple and absolutely unbelievable. The answer, for example, why is it a blonde. The fat guy will tell you that there is no special reason, just because the blonde looks more attractive after the black-and-white imaging. Sometimes a question that is hoping for some comforting words will have a rude answer that makes people laugh. For example, some female audiences write letters and complain that they don't dare to take a bath after seeing Psycho. The fat guy will tell you that you can throw those annoying women into the washing machine. When I read this sentence a long time ago, I felt nothing more than three words-"misogyny". Probably because I have always kept this sentence in mind, my understanding of blonde obsession is different from that in movies, and also different from many film critics. Blond stunner, whether sad, sexy, passionate, ruthless, talented or vase, smart or stupid, in the eyes of the fat man is nothing but an exquisite prop, a puppet without a soul. They don’t need to understand the role or the so-called acting skills. As long as they look like this innately, the fat man is the matchmaker behind the puppet.
As one of the many Hitchcock biographers, Patrick McGilliga once said that perhaps imagining a monster of egoism who is good at means, a withered soul in a fat body is better than understanding a practice who has dedicated his life to the film. Artists are much easier. For many years, I have been convinced that the more insecure people are, the stronger the desire for control will be. If this is not the case, he will not be able to overcome the endless anxiety in his heart. Fatty has a sensitive and fragile heart. This sensitivity is especially reflected in the feedback and communication with the audience. Each movie constitutes a cycle of expectation and fear, and then expectation and fear constitute a pressure cycle. Fatty's unresolved anxiety may have become the underlying cause of his overweight, addiction to food and good alcohol. Then, the fat man put his anxiety on the big screen, and he quietly hid behind the gap, carefully observing the spread and spread of anxiety, their expressions and screams were in the calculations he was proud of. Do you say he is a predator or a manipulator?
Although there is a saying that is vulgar, it is still the truth. Let’s end with it. Not getting the Oscar is not the loss of the fat man, it is the loss of the academics themselves.
BTW Even with the shots of Psycho and the characters of Ed Gein interspersed, this is still a rather boring story of a middle-aged crisis. The things between Alma are not very familiar, and I don't know how much fiction is made in it (I have read some texts of their conversations, and I think they are super like mother and child). Fortunately, the acting skills of the two drama bones are really brilliant and saved the entire movie. Here I have to complain about Jessica Biel. Vera Miles is such a magnificent and dignified beauty. JB's facial features and heavy makeup are just about engraving the word "vulgar" on his face! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
