Psycho

Anthony Perkins is such a good actor, that was my favorite part of this movie (and he’s hot!!!). But on a serious note Hitchcock is a household name for a reason, everything in his movies including this one are intentional and consistent making the motifs so good and easy to follow without hand feeding them to you (the predator v. prey birds imaging to reflect Bates two half’s thing was smart). Hitchcock also did such a good job using creative shots to get around super conservative rating restrictions of the time. Only thing I didn’t love is how the psychologist basically mansplains everything we just watched at the end but I get raging mommy issues and psychosis etc. wasn’t common knowledge at the time so it was necessary for earlier audiences.
