Review of Psycho (1960) by Deanomite — 25 Jun 2020
I just realized on this viewing that you can see Norman turn into his mother on screen. When he is peeping on Janet he gets shamed and becomes her, his mother is his shame. Janet also was absolutely amazing, her being Jamie Curtis' mom makes it 2 generations of scream queen headlining.
The only difference is by the 70s it had become ok for the girl to be the dominant factor. my favorite shot in the movie is the first time he sits there sipping tea like an old lady, getting worked up to kill.
Also, the mom is a liar, she pinned it all on Norman, he got a raw deal.
