Hitchcott, I have only heard about it before, I know that his suspense films are one of the few excellent, and he is a master director in the film and television industry. But just how powerful it is, I haven't taken the initiative to understand it. This is mainly due to the fact that most of his films are black and white, and they are old. I personally am not very used to this kind of old film. Its shooting techniques, lens editing, scene scheduling, dubbing, etc. are all different from modern film shooting, so I have no motivation to watch it. But luckily, I was just late and didn't miss it.

Next, let's talk about my movie viewing experience, it involves serious spoilers, please avoid it if you mind!

I think Psycho tells two stories, one about thieves and one about murder. In fact, the two stories are quite independent, but the director has wonderfully connected the two stories, which shows that their strength is extraordinary.
In the first half of the story of the thief, there are no scenes that are too scary, but the director shows the guilty conscience of being a thief vividly. That's right, the director did it, not the actor. It's not that the actors have poor acting skills, but when you watch the movie, you will clearly realize that this is the director's credit. Like Marian fleeing to meet her boss on the street, and meeting the police for the first time, these two scenes completely grasp the feeling of guilty conscience.
The connection point between Story 1 and Story 2 is the bag of money, which is also the most important point throughout the film. In the first half of the film, in the first story, the director has already prepared the ground for the second story, and has always hinted to our audience - the bag of money. Let's all think Marianne is going to get killed because the bag of money has been discovered. However, when we were waiting for when the bag of money would be exposed, murderous intent came. In the scene where Marianne was killed in the shower, I think normal audience members already knew she was about to be killed. But even if I knew the result, I still felt very frightened when I watched the drama. It feels like going to the hospital for a spanking when you were a child. You took off your pants and waited for the nurse to give you an injection, but you didn't dare to look, knowing that the needle was going to go into your butt soon, but you didn't know when. . When the murderer came out, there was a sense of relief.
The second wonderful thing is Mrs. Bates. In fact, we already guessed after the private detective was killed that Bates may have a mental problem. The conversation between him and his mother may be to himself, but Hitchcott Just when we thought "this is it," he let Bates come out with his mother in his arms. When I saw this, my heart was like "???!!!". Then you may think that what he is holding can't be a puppet? I don't know what the director used to shoot it, but the one he was holding gave me the feeling of being a person. The director's purpose was to make the audience think that when they guessed the ending, hey, tell you that you guessed wrong. Then there is an already existing suspense - does Mrs. Bates really exist? Who would that be? - became more dangling. Then the sheriff told you that Mrs. Bates had died a long time ago. Hey, if you fake a shot, you will be asked if the stab is not exciting. What is that "person"? This leads to the climax of the whole article - the moment of revelation. And when the suspense was revealed at the end, there was still a flip, which was outrageous. This result was both expected and unexpected. …………
In general, the whole plot is complete, the high energy is scene after scene, the atmosphere is super-powerful, and the suspense is not known until the end. Seeing that I was nervous and excited, because I was timid, I shrank into a ball halfway...
