I also thought the shown scene was good because it wasn’t expected. I didn’t expect the twist at the end either…I was convinced Norman’s mother was alive and crazy. Before Marion was murdered, I also liked that the viewers could hear what was going on between other characters during scenes that still focused on her (like when she was driving to the hotel and we heard other conversations). I thought that was creative, especially for the 1960s.Brittany Croomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535404200341376360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717875266905215662.post-73963073484385647582011-04-17T15:50:56.126-07:002011-04-17T15:50:56.126-07:00I think that the black and white color of the film...I think that the black and white color of the film helps many of the special effects found in Psycho. I actually watched a documentary a while back about Alfred Hitchcock and the liquid they used as blood in the shower wasn't even red. But because the film is in black and white, the audience could not tell and it looked more realistic than the red liquid they originally tried. Hitchcock played with the special effects in all of his movies and showed that he had a real creativity when it came to imitating sounds and sights.Brendan Cappiellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15804571133752027015noreply@blogger.com
