In the movie Psycho there is a scene where the lead female actress Janet Leigh is in the shower and she gets murdered, but it doesn’t actually show her getting stabbed. The history of this movie is that it is horror movie, and it was directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, and written by Joseph Stefano, starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, John Gavin, Vera Miles and Martin Balsam, and was based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert Bloch. In the 1960 and 1998 version of the movie…

Hitchcock’s Psycho, from ‘Inside Norman Bates’ and ‘The World Inside Its Image’ The benchmark of horror films could easily be Hitchcock’s most revered work ‘Psycho’ (1960). The black and white filmscape does not downplay the crimson colour of blood spiralling down the plughole after Marion’s fatal stabbing, nor the shock of Norman’s mothers sunken eye sockets. It’s 2015 and this is the first time I have properly been introduced to the film however as a testament to its making I had nightmares…

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, and Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction, each played the character portrayed as mentally unstable. The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…

Breaking Home Ties Critical Analysis Breaking Home Ties is one of many paintings by Norman Rockwell. It was created in 1954 and since then has been a well known painting to artists and art critics. The detail in the scene and expression on the two men’s faces make this picture a true masterpiece. With the expressions on the characters, one can clearly tell there is a story behind this one framed moment. The man on the left looks over worked and rather numb in the face, while the younger…

Throughout Psycho, the use of camera angles allow us to get a sense of what Marion Crane and Norman Bates are thinking, contemplating as well as undergoing. At the beginning of Psycho, the emphasis is placed on Marion Crane, and the decisions she will make to get away from her current life.…

Rosie the Riveter may sound like a real-life human being to you, but she’s not. Well, not entirely, Rosie the Riveter was more of a promotional figure. That’s all she was ever meant to be, but what started as an image drawn up for government promotional uses took a turn into a historical icon for women in America and all over the world. “...Sunday morning, December 7, 1941…” (“Rosie the Riveter). That date may sound familiar to you whether or not you're a history buff or just someone who paid…

vivid red lipstick and strong blue eyes paired with the utilization of effective low angle shots capture the domineering and manipulative mother figure she is. Likewise, Bates mother in Psycho “[is] a clingy and demanding woman” who uses derogatory language such as calling him “boy” to dominate him in their discussions. Further emphasized by her overwhelming motif silhouette, she manipulates him and overrules his every action, so that “like a dutiful son, [he] covered up all…

the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on May 29, 1943. The Saturday Evening Post used to be one of America 's most popular magazines – selling at least three million copies a week. Everyone knew about this magazine; it was a great way to publicize Norman 's image.
