Psycho

Watching like 7 of Hitchcock’s movies before seeing this was crazy by me but it was worth the wait. Having this be his most remembered work feels right even though he probably has more 10/10s or close to 10/10s than any other director ever. This movie perfects a genre and changes cinema forever. What a masterpiece.  My favorite work by him is still probably Rear Window(or North by Northwest, or To Catch a Thief,love that one as well) but that speaks more to my style preferences as a person who doesn’t watch a lot of horrors than the movie’s quality. Still, this movie feels like a bridge between old a new cinema. A connection between a movie like Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief from the fifties to the modern masterpieces that would be inspired by this movie in the later sixties, seventies and beyond.  finally, I just have to say it.  “Chubby Checker, Psycho, Belgians in the Congo”
